    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.

    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 was looking for an easier way to use my PS5 for watching videos, and this remote met that need. When remotes try to be the jack of all trades, they end up being more annoying than useful. It functions adequately as a media remote.

    I had a hard time deciding to purchase this media remote because I wasn’t sure how much I would use it. After receiving it, I actually really like the design and feel of it. We still watch blue ray movies so it will be nice to use this as opposed to using battery life on the actual controller. I think my favorite feature is the quick launch Disney Plus button they have on the remote. Can’t wait until I console is released!

    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.

    The reason I enjoy having this is because for moments when I just want to use the PS5 to watch a movie or streaming apps, this works perfectly there's just no need for the PS5's gaming controller. It connects to the TV as well so it is all I need in those moments. A small remote for one hand use like most remotes anyway.

    Good size, shortcut buttons for streaming, and very easy to connect and use. The game arrived quickly, the day after release and was packed well. Best Buys communication from the time of purchase, through delivery, and even after having it is by far the best, quickest, reliable place that I've purchased from online hands down, which has lead to me using them for many things in the recent month that I usually would have used amazon for. Definitely recomend and I will keep using them.

    I did not think I needed this remote because I could do the same thing with the controller. But I was wrong this is so much more convenient when I want to watch media on the PS5. Its small and compact and gets the job done.

    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.

    The only improvement is that the remote could be luminated in the dark, more user friendly.
