    Easy to use and easy to pair. I love the dedicated Netflix, Disney Plus buttons. It's small enough and does not take up a lot of room.

    Works like a charm. Turns on the system and the tv with the PS button. Volume controls work great and sitting through youtube is a lot easier.

    Very very handy to consume media in the PS5, instead of draining the life and battery of the Dualsense (which is very fragile tbh). It could have had a backlight to it, but that’s a feature for another day I guess. Overall a handy thing to have if you use your PS5 to watch Netflix or other streaming services or as a bluray player.

    Needed to ditch the streaming buttons for button mapping. The streaming buttons seem pointless given that most TVs are smart TVs, especially because it came at the cost of basic media remote functions like skip. Decent remove, but clunky if you need functions outside of play, fast forward, and rewind.

    Great Little Wobbler

    This little guy has been great! Took a little bit to pair it with my ZVOX soundbar, but once it was done I haven't thought about it again (about 8 months ago). At first, I had wished the branded buttons on the bottom weren't there, or even programmable, but I've become accustomed to using them and it makes switching to those specific services much easier. Which is probably why they paid to put them on the remote in the first place. My only gripe is that the bottom of the remote is so rounded so it wobbles and spins all around when placing it on the table.

    The remote is so easy, smooth, and versatile to use. Easily connects to your PS5 and the media remote recognizes the tv fairly quickly as well. I love that the PS symbol is a actual button and mimics the PS home button on the controller. Controller has a nice textured feel so it does not slide off your fingers that easy. Initial impressions are good hope the controller is durable and side note controller takes AA batteries. Not a must have for PS5 owners but definitely a solid accessory to have.

    Works well for what i wanted. volume control works with my AV receiver which was a pleasant surprise. microphone is finicky on certain apps (youtube was my main use case for the mic search but i think it only tried to use my controller mic). not sure if it's the remote's fault but im docking a point for it anyway
