    This controller is a nice quality of life accessory for any PS5 owners. My controller came with bad batteries so I had to replace them, please change your batteries if your remote becomes unresponsive.

    This is a great addition to my PS5. I was originally contemplating a Roku, but would require multiple remotes to still operate. With the content the PS5 supports and seamless setup to my TV and sound bar, this has been a well worth investment. Great product!

    Excellent media remote for the PS5. Was very easy to connect and great to use when you don’t want to use the traditional controller for DVDs and other media.

    This remote is very easy to setup to the PS5 and your TV. The form and fit is great and the button placement works and makes sense. Much better than the PS4 media remotes. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a remote for media playback on their PS5.

    I use mine when watching movies. It's nice having a dedicated remote instead of using the controller. I definitely recommend if you watch movies on your Playstation too.

    First time using a PlayStation remote; easy to use and navigate menus and apps. Biggest complaint is accessing sub menus on apps. Convenient buttons for Disney+ tells you who paid the most money to get their own buttons on the remote.

    Awesome to use! I only bought this to watch peacock tv since Netflix removed the office and my Fire Tv doesn’t let me download the peacock app yet. The controller does almost everything and easy to use. It can raise volume and turn on my Ps5 easily.

    This controller is the best. Keep in mind you will need to put your own batteries in even though it comes with batteries. For me the controller slowly stopped working until I put new batteries in. Now it works great!

    Greta buy! I love this remote! We don’t have cable TV and normally just watch Netflix and Disney+ at home. This makes it more convenient to go from playing in PS5 to watching my shows of just go straight to watching them. Too many remotes :)
