    Works great, the included batteries died quickly. The back is a bit difficult to remove until you figure it out.

    The reason I left a four star review is sometimes it takes a little bit for the remote to work. Several times I’ve needed to use it and ended up having to grab a controller instead cause I was over waiting for it. When the remote works it’s super convenient.

    I really like the feel of this remove. The buttons are nice and textured back feels good. My only complaint is that in my mind the volume and power buttons should be reversed. I keep turning off my tv when I mean to turn up the volume.

    Good remote, a bit pricey in my opinion, but good option. When the battery gets low it will pair and unpair with my PS5. Compared to Xbox version of a media remote, it is a definite upgrage.

    A little pricey but a very durable remote, it’s taken a couple nasty drops and still works fine. Quality feels nice and it works perfectly with my PS5.

    This is a nice little remote that does more than just control the PS5-- it effectively functions as a universal remote for my TV as well. Sort of handy. It feels very light, I'm talking featherweight light. No problems with it so far!

    Remote is definitely worth it! Don’t need to worry about messing up my controller when people are over or anything. Plus it’s white so it’s visible at all times. Easy to use and easy to get things done on the PS5!

    A very good remote for the price. Works perfectly with the tv volume controls and other tv features (LG Smart TV). Really good to have so one doesn’t have to waste battery on a regular controller.

    Wow, this little thing is awesome! My nephew loves to play video games, watch YouTube, and watch Netflix. Without using his controllers he is able to access YouTube and Netflix with ease. Great added accessory to the truly next gen system!

    Works perfectly with the PS5 and TV without programming it for the TV. Everything is excellent except I’d like a TV/Video change button and Ability to change YouTube or Spotify to Amazon Prime Video or Optional like Peacock or Paramount+

    It's a convenient way to turn on shows and music, plus changing the volume makes it easier instead of having to use the controller to go into the settings. The buttons to directly go to the apps are great too.

    A lot of people underestimate how much this can come in handy for people who did not grow up around video games controllers. My gf can easily switch between streaming apps without having to fumble through the OS.

    No problems so far. We haven't had it long, but we use it every night when watching Blu-ray on our PS5. This remote is way more convenient for someone like me who isn't a gamer and is less familiar with the buttons on a gaming controller.

    Just what I needed. This remote functions perfectly for when you don't want to have to use the dual sense controller to watch apps and movies on the PS5. I would definitely recommend this as it makes navigating media easier.

    It is quite a handy device if your ps5 is also the center of your home theater. If your turn on your ps5 with the remote, ps5 will display its media page first instead of game page which is a really nice features.

    I almost consider this a myst have. It works very well, but has 1 major flaw. If you're using it while playing a DVD/bluray/hd bluray the remote has no waybto skip chapters of the disc. Hello Sony, what were you thinking.
