    Remote to make life easier instead of using the controller. For all those out there who have children, their ability to master this compared to the game controller is a fantastic thing.

    I don't regret buying this although I don't really use it because I just use my regular remote control. This is valued at a good price which is why i don't regret buying it. I have used it a few times and it works really good.

    It is perfect for media viewing on your PS5 Console. Ignore having to use the controller, keep this remote by your side in comfort when watching different media. A great accessory to have if you plan on doing more than just gaming.

    If you want to use streaming apps on your PS5 while saving power on your controller, this is worth getting. Plus, it’s a very nice remote.

    Love this controller! Definitely nice to work with rather than the controller when watching shows on Netflix or Disney+, etc. Buttons also are comfortable and have a nice click feedback feel to them.

    Sleek if not a bit oversimplified.

    This remote has a very sleek, simple button arrangement that may be a bit oversimplified for those who sought to use it for 4K/Blu-rays. For instance, there are no main menu or chapter skip buttons on the remote itself, but rather you'd need to navigate a disc's menu via a pop-up menu on the screen. It takes getting used to, but you get the hang of it. It's definitely geared more toward streaming services, which was made more apparent when they added the speed dial buttons pictured here. There is also a mic button that at present is inactive but most likely will be with a firmware update. So far, the only function I can see it used for is the PS Store, but only when you click on the onscreen mic icon (which surprisingly activates a tiny concealed light above the mic button on the control itself). I look forward to having all its features optimized, but at present I'd say it's worth the purchase.

    The PS5 Media remote automatically starts your ps5 in Media mode when you turn it on with the remote. If you have cut the cable and are relying solely on streaming services for your entertainment, this sleekly designed clicker will fit perfectly alongside your Apple TV or Roku remote. If you do not use streaming services or BluRay on the ps5, this remote will not be for you. Would've been nice if they made it rechargeable with a wireless bass or something.

    The best choice I made to buy this product. I am able to turn on and off with media control. I don’t need the controller just to watch TV.

    Having this remote makes the PS5 much easier to navigate for my wife, who feels lost with a game controller in her hand. It works on AA batteries which i like because i dont always remember to charge devices

    Not quite worth the list price

    The controller is pretty flimsy and light but it comes with batteries, which is nice. As of now, the PS5 does not support 4K Disney+ streaming so the dedicated Disney+ button is kind of moot, you’re better off using your TV’s native Disney+ app. Streaming on the PS5 with Netflix and Disney+ has also yielded questionable quality. It is convenient to be able to turn on the TV with the remote. I mostly got it cause I hated using the DualSense as a remote for the PS4, I find it much more intuitive to play my Blu-Rays with a remote. So that’s honestly the biggest reason to get this. As far as PS5 accessories go it’s thankfully on the cheaper side but I’d wait for a sale if I were you, if you don’t watch blu-rays as regularly as I do.

    It's a fun little gimmick device that you probably won't use that often, but when you do you're happy to have it. It's ease of use is great and the color scheme looks great with the PS5
