    The Sony remote serves its purpose, however is extremely overpriced and underwhelming.

    A decent remote and a must if you are using your PS5 as a blu ray player.

    Limited functionality, but does most of the basics

    Needs more controls (like a "skip forward" button for jumping to the next chapter), but functions as a very basic Blu-Ray controller for PS5. Would be nice if the streaming service-specific buttons were remappable, but they're still a nice touch.

    So far it works fine. Really needs a pop-up menu button and the Sony shape face buttons.

    As for a remote for your PS5 it is great but when it comes to using it with your TV most it can do is Power and volume. If you have a Smart TV you will most likely have to use the TV's remote to navigate to the proper HDMI port to display your PS5 GUI.

    I like this control!! I use this control more than I use the gaming controller. The only issue is it uses AA batteries instead of recharable batteries like the gaming controllers.

    Very handy and well made remote. It’s great for using the Blu-ray and media functions, especially for family members that don’t want to use a controller to watch something.

    Hardly ever works. Will watch something and need to pause but the remote won’t work. Then trying to turn on Ps5 it a hassle. Also don’t try to lower the volume on your tv with is that never works.

    Media remote for the PS5 that doesn't work

    The remote was a great addition to the PS5 but the performance is horrible. I bought my first remote and it connected quickly and worked for about 2 hours before completely failing to work. I spent the better part of a day troubleshooting to make it work and it would connect for a few minutes but stop working. I returned it and picked up a new one. But it was the same working for a bit then failing after a few minutes.
