    Sony ps5 media remote

    Honestly I think the remote is cheaply made, and I can’t wrap my head around this remote being a little over $30 with tax. Not worth the expense since their are way better remotes from Logitech that control way more devices. Buttons on the remote are a little small, and does not glow in the dark so you def have to feel around a bit to find the input you are looking for. Also does not have a headphone jack, not a deal breaker but it is convenient to have much like the roku remotes. This is not a necessary as the DuelSense will work just fine, controller can def use an upgrade from Sony to justify its next generation price

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It’s easy to use and very convenient. It’s another source to stream what you want instantly. Instead of using my ps5 remote to watch movies/shows I use this.

    In my opinion this is a must own item if you consume media through the PS5. Sure the DualSense controller works fine but this remote is programmable with your TV for volume control.

    Fantastic remote to stream media on your PS5, also love the fact that it has voice assistant so you’re able to open more apps than what are available at the bottom of the remote.

    This works awesome with my PS5. The volume control only works for my TV, not my sound bar, which is a bummer but it’s not a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend it for PS5 streaming.

    Great for our situation. Don't have to use multiple remotes as this one controls both the t.v. and the PS5.

    Only purchased cause i Lost the remote to my tv so figured why not buy this. It’s super easy to sync with most if not all brand TVs & got the smart controls on it for your console.
