    I mostly use the ps5 for streaming apps when the kids aren’t playing. Nice compact remote. Not using the controller is an added bonus.

    Nice little remote. Pros: +Good button layout +Controls TV power and volume +PS Button to access home menu +Comfortable to hold and use +Shortcut keys to get to a few streaming apps Cons: -Mic does not work for voice searches in YouTube or other streaming apps. It only works in the PlayStation store. I am hoping for a system to update in the future to fix this. -Can’t manually teach remote volume buttons. I would like to control my home theater receiver’s volume instead of the tv’s (which aren’t used in my case). -No backlight -Flimsy feeling battery cover.

    Decent remote, works well but but the preset button feature I can do without. Batteries seem to go kinda quickly but overall I'd recommend this product.

    The controller works awesome, the problem I'm having is the actual shape. It has a curved bottom, so it doesnt really sit well on anything. Its constantly falling off of things. Second problem is the buttons. The center ones are raised, and the ones on either side are pretty much flat against the surface of the controller. Just not a great design. Works quite well though.

    Useful remote for watching movies and netflix on the ps5. Definitely more comfortable to use than the ps5 controller. However, i wish it had a bit more buttons. Blu ray player remotes have an audio and subtitle button where as this remote doesn’t so you’ll have to navigate through the controls a bit if you wanna toggle settings on the movie you’re watching unless you use a ps5 controller. Though at least for watching movies if you want to fast forward or rewind this feels more comfortable than the ps5 controller. If you’re going to watch a lot of movies on the ps5, this remote is recommended.

    The PlayStation 5 media remote comes in handy for streaming instead of using the controller. It also can power on tv and adjust volume.

    Perfect because my controllers are normally docked and for my wife, she's not much of a gamer so this is easier for her to use.

    I really like the controller. A rechargeable battery would have been better IMO. Price it’s a bit expensive but Sony determines the price not Best Buy.
