Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great. Nice not having use my controller for my streaming services.

A little disappointed still having to use on screen menus for some functions when I purchased a remote.

Quit working after 4 months and Sony wanted me to pay to ship it to their service center for repair. Last time I buy this piece of crap!

Don’t even waste your money on this. It worked fine for a few days then it stopped working. I had to sinc it with the ps5/tv again but after a few days it did it again and then I was not able to make it work again. It’s a beautiful design and very convenient to have it but it’s worthless if doesn’t work.

You need to pair with ps5 first. Doesn’t work right out of the box and the remote is a bit slippery to grab.

Pretty disappointed in the remote. It does the bare minimum it needs to, and can turn the console as well as the TV on and off, but all the current media apps, including purchased content on the PS store, are not optimized for controller use. In many media apps, controls still require a button press from the PS5 controller rather than just the media remote. I'd skip this and just use a PS5 controller.

Gets the job done but buttons shoudl be more pronounced and for the love of god have an led backlight!

absolute garbage remote in every way. i went into this knowing it was cheap/plastic feeling, and also that it had buttons that are essentially advertisements for services. my reason for purchasing was to 'skip chapters' while playing a bluray. you know how when you insert a bluray disc there's a never ending amount of ads, trailers blah blah. you have to skip past these each time. i was using the ps5 controller (R1) to do this. i thought hey, i'll get the official media remote... THE MEDIA REMOTE DOESNT HAVE SKIP BUTTONS, ONLY REWIND/FASTFORWARD who leaves off skip functionality!? sony, that's who.

Nice remote to control the media on the PS5, only real issue is how far you can be to use it. The range could be better.

Not very useful but it does function how it’s supposed to

The design of the remote is kind of a cheaply feel and look. Could have used better materials.

The remote sucks. It stopped working for no reason. The need to make a better remote.

Not there yet. Just a basic remote. Not worth it for a YouTube button. Dualsense is a joy to pick up and use instead

Average media remote with lack of numerical buttons.

Buttons could be better and the back plate could be better as well

Buttons are flush and hard to see unless in bright light making it difficult to use. The Bluetooth shuts down so you need to hit the buttons twice to get it to work. I purchased to avoid using controller but I still need it and the original TV remote

Awesome remote, simplicity! Only thing I wish they would fix, is how sharpe the plastic is on the back

I ORDERED THIS ON MAY 25 2025. FEDEX KEEPS SAYING IT IS DELAYED. IT KEEPS SHIPPING BETWEEN WA AND OR FOR SOME ODD REASON WHEN I LIVE IN WA. IT WILL NOT LET ME CANCEL BECAUSE IT IS “ENROUTE” SO I AM STUCK JUST WAITING. IT IS JUNE 17 2025 NOW.

Not sure why I bought this. I rarely use it but it good to have if you don't own a smart tv.

I like to use this remote when I am just watching streaming apps on my PS5. It’s great to conserve the battery life of your controllers. Just think about how many times you leave your controller on for Netflix (by accident).
