    This is a great PS5 media remote. Uses Bluetooth so no IR dongle or don't need to be in line of sight of the console. Some may not see a need when you can use your controller, but for streaming services, media and Blu-Ray/UHD discs makes it easier. Even has a few dedicated buttons for some streaming services.

    Great accessory for your PS5 especially if you consume a lot of media content. Overall a great product with a nice design. My only complaint is the battery can run out quick and that the mic button does not fully work unless a dual sense controller is turned on too. Maybe a future firmware update coming for the mic function on the actual remote.

    This is a good remote and it is very easy to set up and can even be used as a TV remote. My only concerns are that it uses batteries instead of being rechargeable and the directional buttons are a little thin. They work fine, but they’re very thin making the remote use a little funky. This is a minor concern though.

    Once I actually get a PS5 I will add an update review for this remote. The remote itself is great. It is a good size and the buttons are a good size and well spaced. I like the addition of Netflix, Disney +, YouTube and Spotify. It will be nice to use this remote on the PS5 instead of a controller.

    Simple, easy to use, straight forward, and clean. It matches the PS5 and is a seamless transition from the controller. It’s aesthetically pleasing, but it’s really an unnecessary addition. Just a “nice to have”.

    Simple buttons, nice design. So glad Sony finally made their own remote. The PS3 and PS4 remotes were 3rd party. Also like the fact that this remote is much simpler than the PS3 and PS4 remotes I had. It should be rechargeable though, like an Apple TV remote.

    That's great to have an old fashioned remote control to operate the PlayStation 5 instead of using the game controller to do it.
