    I bought it for my grandson as a gift to go with his PlayStation 5 and his review is: "The remote makes watching Disney + and Netflix really easy to access. It also makes Spotify easy to access as well. Everything is just one button away! That sure makes it a lot easier than having to look for any particular app! It's definitely better than any media remote than I've had before! I think it's convenient and Sony put some thought into it!"

    So useful! The microphone has come in so handy, especially with our streaming subscriptions. Sometimes you just want to watch The Office for the 500th time, but you're not sure where it's streaming now. Just talk into the mic from the remote and poof pops up on the T.V. Really good alternative for our PS5 controller since it's battery depletes way too fast.

    I picked this up on a whim as I generally don't like using the standard console remotes for media viewing. This thing ended up being a bit cooler than expected, and by turning on the console with the PS button on this remote, it will take you to the media screen by default. It also interfaces with smart TVs so you can use volume controls without your TV's default remote. Nothing truly essential, but nice to have. I would recommended it for anyone who's using a PS5 as the primary device for streaming services, things like YouTube or Twitch, and anyone who's using it as a DVD/Blu-Ray/UHD player. My only complaint would be that it takes 2 AA batteries, which are not included, instead of charging via USB-C like the standard PS5 remote does.

    Bought this in advance of my purchase of the PS5 console because as you already know, it is next to impossible to get one. I plan to use my upcoming PS5 as a media player too so using one of this makes a lot of functions just easier. I am sure it will work well once I get the actual console but so far, I have been only able to use to try to control my cats. Hint. I doesn't work well for that. They still don't listen.

    If you're planning on using your Ps5 as a streaming device, you need this remote. It makes a great difference instead of using your gaming controller to search through streaming services like Netflix or Disney+, and easier navigation to find the exact show you want to watch. A great item specifically made by Sony for use on the Playstation 5 console.

    Good but I wish it was not a Spotify button or open to program your own shortcut. Rewind/pause/forward buttons are duplicates of the cross button, you can mistake the back button for the rewind. Sometimes you need to press PS button twice. But the design of the remote is aesthetically good otherwise.

    Using the PS5 controller to run your apps is so troublesome because you can't shut the controller off like the XBOX SX after your selection. The remote would have gotten 5 stars if you could access your tv's menu functions other than sound and channel selection. Still, for using to view your apps (like I do, and i have all of them instead of cable) it is a godsend especially with the quick launch buttons... Overall, make your ps5 that much more to useful. Highly recommend.

    Everything we need! I got this for my boyfriend as a gift and he loves it. It's so nice to have a remote for the PS5. Now the PS5 controller battery isn't constantly dying and it works great with powering on the TV an system. We love it.

    I was hesitant at first cause i was asking myself why i needed another remote when i already have a smart tv. Well, i feel more comfortable using the playstation remote because it connected to my tv with ease, and it is way more simple to use than a standard tv remote. Sometimes the remote disconnects but i believe thats because i got a ps5,router,modem,computer,tv that all have wi-fi and the signals mix up.. but overall its great.

    This remote is a must have for heavy streamers. Aside from gaming, I use my PS5 for Streaming movies and TV shows. This remote makes that experience a heck of a lot easier and smoother. It’s honestly not a necessity but more of a welcomed addition. Personally I love it and feel it’s well worth the $30 dollars. Build quality is good and works as you would expect. If you’re a big streamer then this is a must have for PS5 owners.
