    Easy to setup and use. Nothing to special here, but it’s easier to use to control movies, and streaming than the controller.

    It’s been cool to use, but be careful because it can randomly turn on the PS5, which can be annoying

    Upgrade over ps4 media remote

    The quality of this controller is better than the ps4 controller. It’s a bit difficult to open to put the battery in. I wish the coloring was different just due to wear and tear showing on the controller easily. The set up took about three attempts before it would recognize the controller. It’s def an upgrade over the last model but ratio would like to see a bit more durability. For media purposes I prefer this over the game controller.

    Useful, but not without faults

    This remote adds some good functions for using the media features of the PS5 with a single hand. The device is responsible and handles my TV functions without any issues; however, it is not without issues. The device itself feels very cheaply made and the directional arrows leave a lot to be desired. If they do an update to this, they should replace them with the d-pad feel from the controller to make it feels more premium. A major problem I have with this remote is that the PlayStation button is at the bottom which means you don't have a fast way to make sure of this without changing hand position or using a 2nd hand. This button is required to go back to the home screen to change apps.. This is something they should have moved further hope the remote as going to the home screen to change apps is a very common task I find myself doing. There are no shortcuts I could find either by holding the back button to leave an app that is open. While this remote serves a purpose, it should be capable of more for the price and be given slightly better components to improve the overall feel and quality.
