    Not sure what this remote will be used for but figured I’d order everything the ps5 had to offer. Will have to wait till he used it to see what it does and how it works.

    This is the only thing I have bought for my PS5 that I thought was a total waste. BestBuy had it on sale, so I bought it while binge shopping for toys. I would give it 1 star but it at least has Disney+, Netflix, and YT (my most visited media sites) as dedicated buttons. Expect serious input lag, which is extremely irritating when using the directional buttons when trying to type stuff in. There's no dedicated off button either.

    The remote itself is flimsy. It’s sort of pointless having this remote. Especially is you already have a fire stick, the tv remote and remote for surround system.

    I have not figured out how the remote works with my tv. It may be user error, but it does not seem to have ability to control my tv.

    It performs as advertised, but for $30 it seems overpriced. The build quality seems very cheap ... seems more like a $15-$20 remote.

    The remote seems cheap, Sony should know by now how to make a nice remote. I never use this for my PS5 and wish I did not make the purchase.

    This is our 4th remote and even worse this one already stopped working within two weeks of delivery. So ridiculous! I’ve never had to replace a single remote for any other product.

    Needs upgrades

    Not really worth the purchase. This is finicky with some apps, (i.e. rewind can be spotty), and even though it connects to a TV, you can only turn the TV on/off and change the volume, but you can't actually change the input, so, unless your TV is set to automatically select an input at power on, you still need a TV remote. Also does not have an audio jack for headphones, which isn't a big deal, but I think it would be better if it did have one.

    Zero ergonomics

    I got this remote because using a controller to navigate media is super annoying. However, this remote doesn't help much. The ergonomics are terrible, all the buttons are flat. The main directional buttons are all separated as well, which makes quick navigation harder. It also feels weird in your hand and there's no backlighting. If you do plan to use your ps5 primarily for media, I suppose this is your best option.

    Bought this but don’t really use it. I think it might be beneficial for people who don’t have a smart tv and use their Ps5 instead.

    Not particularly ergonomic. I feel like you have more control over the movie with the dual sense. There is no apparent hide menu option
