    This remote rocks. It controls the PS5 perfectly so I don't have to take my game controller out all the time. This makes it so much easier to use the multimedia functions of the PS5. The controls are so easy to figure out. The only complaint I have is the Playstation button is on the bottom and it should be on the top where it is easier to find it. The pre assigned buttons are so easy to use, The blue ray player controls are so much easier to use than trying to figure out on the game controller. This is a must for anyone that has a PS5.

    Easy to use and very intuitive. Matches ps5 design and color scheme. Only issue would be the need for 2 batteries as opposed to charging.

    Very pleased with this remote. I enjoy watching movies on my PlayStation 5 but using the controller as a remote would drain the battery. This remote is just what you need to watch movies and be able to navigate your PlayStation with out draining the power of your controller. It has all features of a my standard remote and even has quick buttons for streaming services. Super convenient well worth buying.

    Actually really liked the thing. Sony has taken a good step towards putting out a pretty good OEM product at a fair price. Normally I would expect the original manufacturer to sell overpriced accessories but they actually got it right. I bought the remote and the charging station and both are good quality, work without issues, and are priced good. Only con is at night I wish they had put a backlight in the remote because it’s hard to see the buttons when it’s dark. But you can pair the media remote with a smart tv and that way you only need 1 remote control. So no controller, and no tv remote. All buttons work for both the tv and ps5. Recommend!

    A Truly Great Value

    High quality product by Sony. The controller's overall feel is nice with its textured back and the buttons have a satisfying mushy yet confident "clicky" feel. Pairs easily by accessing PS5's system settings and holding two buttons (PS logo and the hamburger icon) to pair the item. What's even better is that it effortlessly synced with my TV so I can now use it to control my volume and turn on/off my TV. Overall, solid and quality product for the price.

    I bought this remote because I use my console to watch various streaming services. This makes it easy since you can turn your console on and off with the remote without needing to get a controller out. The controller is small and works very well and is extremely easy to use as well.

    Omg i love this remote, easy to use. You don’t need to waste the battery on your controller while you want to watch a movie or use a steaming service so that’s great. A lot easier to rewind or fast forward you don’t have to worry about accidentally rewinding or skipping like you do when using a controller. I know I’m not the only one that finds a movie or show to watch on my ps5 and then I set my controller down then it starts to rewind or fast forward. Or you forget you left your controller somewhere and bump into it finding it and you skip ahead or again rewind/fast forwards

    Awesome remote. It's the perfect size and weight. Not to clunky or plasticky. It looks sleek and stylish. The buttons all feel solid and have a 'clicking' feel when you press them, which is great. They don't feel sticky or cheap. The only negative is that I wish you could customize the shortcut buttons. Not everyone uses Netflix, Disney, Spotify, or YouTube. It would be better if your favorite app could be a shortcut. Not the biggest deal though. Overall, it's an awesome remote. I've switched to using my PS5 for streaming TV mostly because of it.

    My ps5 controller dies quickly when off the charger so instead of buying another I got this remote for streaming and movies. It makes the experience much better because it can also control tv volume and turn it on and off as well.

    I enjoy using ps5 remote, way better than using the controller itself. Easily paried with ps5 system, best functions like voice activation. All buttons work properly. Fits in my hand easily. I would say the only issue i have is the remote is sleek, i would recommend buying a cover or grip for the remote.

    Purchased this remote at Black Friday pricing as an add on for an Xmas gift for my spouse. She had no idea she was receiving this or the PS5. What a surprise! This remote is great for the ease of accessing the apps. However, surprise! It also controls the features on the television, which i wasn't aware of. This added bonus was absolutely perfect and makes the entertainment experience even better!

    I owned the ps4 and the controllers always would skip scenes or fast forward if I accidentally placed it down too hard or bumped it. So with the Ps5 I knew I wanted a media remote especially with how sleek and clean it looks. The ps5 controllers do not trigger like the ps4 controllers but I am glad I bought this remote. It can control the ps5, tv volume and power for both. It can connect to your tv, smart tv or not. It is really nice to use one remote to control everything. It is also really nice to use this while my game controllers charge.
