The Sony PlayStation 5 Media Remote is a must-have accessory for PS5 owners who enjoy streaming and media playback. Its sleek design matches the PS5 aesthetic perfectly, and the dedicated buttons for popular streaming services make navigation quick and easy. The layout is intuitive, with responsive buttons that make controlling movies, music, and apps a breeze. Setup is simple, and it integrates seamlessly with the PS5, allowing you to switch between gaming and media effortlessly. Overall, it's a high-quality remote that adds convenience and style to your PS5 experience.

I wanted to control my PS5 without having to turn the controller on. This works perfectly for that. It works really well. It's a good size it feels good to hold it. Doesn't take up a lot of space. I'm glad I bought it because it's convenient to use and I watch TV through my PS5 so it's great controlling the volume and the channels without draining the battery on my PS5 controller.

Excellent media remote and it can control my tv as well which is great. A little on the smaller side if you have larger than average hands, but it functions properly well, even if a little uncomfortable with some of the button placements. The PS button is a little too low for my liking, but it isn't deal breaking. It's great quality and durable. I've dropped it a few times already and it's still working and no visible scratches to be seen.

I had to get the media remote to use with the Playstation 5. My son uses the controller, but to use the disc player and the apps, I need the remote. It is smaller than I expected which fits my hand better. It is also handy with the dedicated Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, and Spotify buttons.

Bought this so I wouldn't have to get up to grab my ps5 controller if I wanted to watch stuff on streaming.

I love this thing! Control the PS5 without draining your controllers! The quick jump buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and Disney are nice as well. Plus it controls the volume without me having to find my TV remote. The only thing I wish you could do is change the shortcut buttons to whatever apps you want but that's a minor complaint. This is definitely worth the money I paid.

It's a great add-on when the PS5 is in the living room, but it's truly not necessary when using it primarily for gaming. In my case the it was the former and it often got more use as a media player than a dedicated gaming machine, so this made sense. If you play more often than what you watch Netflix in your console I would skip this, however if other people in your place also use the PS5 as a media player I would recommend this just because it leads to a lower possibility of grabbing the dualsense and not having any battery.

The Sony PlayStation 5 Media Remote initially caught my eye with its sleek, futuristic design that matches the PS5 console beautifully. It's compact, comfortable to hold, and the button layout is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through media with ease. However, my experience with the remote has been a mix of enjoyment and frustration. The biggest issue I've faced is with connectivity. The remote occasionally loses connection with the console, which interrupts the flow of using it, especially during movie nights or when browsing through different streaming services. Reconnecting it sometimes requires a full console reboot, which is inconvenient. On the positive side, when it works, it works well. The dedicated buttons for popular streaming services are a nice touch, providing quick access. Battery life is also commendable, and the remote is efficient in waking up the PS5 from sleep mode. In conclusion, while the Sony PS5 Media Remote offers a sleek design and user-friendly interface, the intermittent connectivity issues are a significant drawback. It's a decent choice if you're invested in the PlayStation ecosystem, but be prepared for potential interruptions.

Very useful, though every button you press will turn on the tv/PS5 when off. But the battery life is decent.

I replaced another remote, as the older was broken. Great quality!

I bought this product for my parents to use so they can stream shows on Netflix on PS5 because my parents don't know how to use my PS5 controller so this product is great for those who don't know how to use a PS5 controller. A+++

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.

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.

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!

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.

I like how it's easier to navigate on the PS5 without having to use the controller or switching between remotes included batteries and small footprint is a plus

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.

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.

This is easier to use than the ps5 controller! The batteries last longer than the ps5 controller!

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
