    It is exactly what you want it to be. A convenient and sleek way to operate apps on your PS5. Now you don't have to use your gaming controller to put on Netflix when she comes over LOL

    I mainly got this because we were frequently causing accidental fast forwards and rewinds when using the PS5 controller for streaming. Those problems are gone now. Also nice that it can control the power and volume on our TV. I just wish it could change the input on the TV as well.

    If you're lazy like me and constantly hit the game controller by accident and making wrong selections, etc etc, this is a great buy. It's convenient and I love that I can quickly get to Netflix, YouTube, etc. with just 1 click. The remote has great navigation and voice control! Best Buy ever :)

    Although it may not seem to be a "necessary" accessory, it has been extremely useful for when my PS5 controller is charging. The buttons are a little shallow, which can cause minor frustration when using in the dark, but the dedicated buttons for Disney+ and Netflix are a convenient feature. It was also very easy syncing the remote with my Vizio TV.

    Very useful when you don’t want to drain the controller batteries. However navigating the buttons don’t feel as quick as the dual sense controller. Still not a bad purchase at all, those with larger hands may or may not like the feel of this remote.

    Remote is all around a good quality. Very easy setup if you own a Sony telvision as I do. Basically, installed batteries and had immediate telvision control. Turned on the PS5 and set up as a controller and ready to rock. Only complaint is I wish it had more control over other devices such as TV or sound bar but if I wanted all the extra bells and whistles I suppose I should have bought a different remote.

    I really this remote to play my physical movies or stream Youtube. Its a good small size remote for the PS5. I had other remotes i got from the PS3 and PS4 were big. I wish the remote was backlit.

    I canceled my cable so I use my PS5 for media pretty regularly, if you are in the same boat, this remote is kinda a must have. It makes operating the PS5 UI very easy when dealing with media. Built quality and feel are very premium. Voice command is not currently active but excited for the update and possibilities once it becomes active.
