    It's a convenient way to turn on shows and music, plus changing the volume makes it easier instead of having to use the controller to go into the settings. The buttons to directly go to the apps are great too.

    Great media remote, here's why it isn't the best out there. It takes time to get used to using this remote, some buttons are placed in questionable locations, for example the middle circle and the top/bottom/left/right selection is too far up top and would have been perfect if it was placed where the play/fast forward/back buttons are. The PlayStation button is too far on the bottom in my opinion and could have been a little bit closer to the "spotify/youtube" buttons for a more comfortable clicking experience. The volume up/down buttons are placed in the weirdest location ever, top left corner; really Sony? It would have been better either on the right side, or on the side of the remote similar to the Roku remote design. You do get used to the location of the buttons over time, but I do hope Sony engineers a newer remote later in the future. But for now this'll do. Docked a star because the remote isn't rechargable. It uses AA batteries (Included)

    Love the look, size, and functionality of this little guy. What I don't like and maybe I need to dig out some instructions is there doesn't seem to be a way to close out of a movie/app while just using the remote. Otherwise this is really nice to use instead of the regular controller.

    If you use PS5 to consume media it works great. Saves the life of your controllers and can turn your TV off and on.

    Extra Convivence, But Not Required

    This remote makes streaming much easier, but lets be honest. I don't know of many people who use their console for streaming. I wanted to use the Sony app on my PS5 for the Imax movie program so I ordered this, which granted it is easier when watching media that using your remote. The only thing I can see is that for the price, the remote feels kind of lite weight and somewhat cheap in the hands. I really love the ease of use, but unless you watch a ton of media on your PS5, for the price, I really don't see the need.

    I’m so happy with this purchase!! got tired of using my controller so i bought the media remote and it’s one of the best purchases i’ve ever made. for someone who uses their console, not only for gaming but streaming, this product helps tremendously! the controller is always in the way of you but not this media remote! it even comes with preselect apps on the remote!! also, it’s super easy to set up with your tv.

    My 12 year old did the setup for the remote, which was very easy. I love it. It acts as a TV remote, and also provides easy access to Disney Plus, and Netflix, all through the PS5 which we were fortunate to get this Christmas.

    The media remote for the ps5 is a great buy. The battery for the controllers doesn’t last very long so this helps out quite a bit. Super east to pair with the ps5. Works well so far would definitely suggest getting this

    I got this because I was annoyed by having to use the gaming controller to use the apps. This remote is very comfortable, intuitive, and attractive. If you’re looking to stream media on your PS5, this is the way to go.

    Everyone knows how annoying it is to watch any media with a regular controller. You can set it down carefully but end up fast-forwarding half the episode. Yes, I know the regular TV remote can function the same way this one does, but my TV remote does not have a function for the PS button. Plus, I really like the size, and for a bonus, it has voice control

    Simply the best remote I've owned. Controls the system and TV seamlessly. I would say this is an essential PS5 accessory to own. It's pretty sleek and fast! Programmed with the best TV apps for quick access.
