If you use your ps5 as the gateway to your entertainment this remote is a must! It makes navigating apps like Netflix and hulu a breeze, and it helps save your controller battery. I would recommend this to anyone needing a solid remote.

Honestly, I can’t live without the PS5 media remote now. I’ve stacked up and have multiple just in case because it makes navigating everything so easy. If you watch movies or stream on your PS5 at all, this is a must-have.

Extra Convivence, But Not Required

This remote makes streaming much easier, but lets be honest. I don't know of many people who use their console for streaming. I wanted to use the Sony app on my PS5 for the Imax movie program so I ordered this, which granted it is easier when watching media that using your remote. The only thing I can see is that for the price, the remote feels kind of lite weight and somewhat cheap in the hands. I really love the ease of use, but unless you watch a ton of media on your PS5, for the price, I really don't see the need.

“Lite” universal remote for PS5 and TV control

The remote itself is modern in design and sticks with the basic buttons you’ll need. Setup is quick and easy with the PS5. Fortunately I can program it with my LG OLED TV so I can turn both TV and PS5 on or off. The remote also controls the TV volume too but I haven’t figured out how to switch inputs with it. If you use your PS5 for movies or streaming I highly recommend this media remote.

Love having this remote, seemed so silly when i first heard it existing but so many times when using the controller to watch shows and I'd accidentally bump a trigger/button that paused or changed what i was watching. Don't have that problem with this remote anymore.

Makes Movie Watching on PS5 Easier

Great Remote for the PS5! Makes it simple to watch movies in whatever service you wish. My only gripe is how complicated it is to eject disk, but that is more of an issue with the clunky navigation of the PS5. However, if there was an eject button on the remote...
Still a good investment to make movie watching a little easier on the PS5.

I am not big on getting remotes for consoles but my wife needed a simpler method to bounce from the apps she uses on my PS5 and boy did the controller come in handy. Its been quite great so far and it surprisingly synced up with my Pioneer Receiver, which added even more utility to the remote. Can't speak towards the battery life on the remote but I doubt its any worse than other remotes out there.

Was an impulse buy and as it turns out I use this quite a bit. If you don't have another method to steam movies and have a PS5 this is very useful

It is a great way to use your PS5 as a media centered. You can turn the console on and off, it comes with batteries and very quick to program. It does feel a bit cheap on the hands but is lite and small.

Best for Media on PS5

I use this every time I use the PS5 for streaming (almost every day). The PS5 DualSense Controller's battery dies too quickly so this helps out with saving the battery life.
This comes in handy as it runs on 2 AA batteries. I have used this for almost 4 months and have not needed to change the batteries. Easy to use, highly recommended for anyone who likes to stream off the PS5

The remote does everything I expected to do and more. And what I mean by more is it works far better than I expected. It is flawless and works on my TV as well to control the volume. I wish I bought it sooner.

Honestly Sony did a great job with this remote. Feels great in the hand, and the app shortcuts are super handy. Honestly I don't think there's any other media remotes out there, and with this one existing there really isn't a need for anything else.

This comes in really handy when watching movies or TV, I don't really like using the DualSense for that. You can save your controller's battery for games this way. The remote will also connect to your TV once paired to the PS5. That helps so you don't need to carry the TV remote as well. It also works with my soundbar, so it may very well work with various audio setups.

A PlayStation 5 Essential

This is a great product to invest in if you own a PlayStation 5. On top of being able to connect directly to the volume and power of the TV your console is connected to, it works exactly as intended and is extremely durable to potential damage. The buttons and aesthetic of the remote stand out and are unique. The grip and feel of the remote may take a few days to get used to (especially if used to another remote), but that shouldn't deter anyone from adding this accessory to their collection.
The most significant novelty of this product is that it provides an alternative to having to rely solely on a game controller or a universal TV remote. It essentially eliminates the burden of needing to have a controller in hand to control your system.

Great media remote for watching movies or streaming on the PS5 rather than using the controller. Pairing is very easy with the console and you can set it up to control your TV. The only con I have is that if you also have a sound bar that is a different make than the TV it will not control both.

It’s a great way to maneuver through the Home Screen! You can change the volume of the TV from the remote so if you have 2 like myself, this isn’t a bad feature! I love how you can turn on the PS5 from the home button on the remote and if you’re in the mood for Netflix or YouTube, you can access it from the remote without having to do it yourself! Overall great item!

Great remote, the dedicated buttons are awesome! Build quality is good and it feels nice to the touch. It has a little weight to it once you get the batteries in it as well. If I had to make one change I would wish the Spotify button was Amazon instead. But other than that it was very easy to setup with my PS5 and it even controls my Pioneer Receiver sound, which is sweet!

Feels good in hand,super clean . This remote is a bluetooth remote. Its always connected so it maybe drain the baterry fast. Use rechargeable batteries. Some buttons are in a position that its hard to see or feel at night or dark places. Find my self turning on the lights to see the buttons. But its a good remote that matches the ps5.
