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.

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

So much easier when you don’t want to mess with the controller or it’s charging. This is one of the best items I have for my PlayStation when not playing. So glad there is an option for streaming services.

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!

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

Nice especially if you have a monitor like me, that way I don’t always have to use my controller and very easy to use as well. Be prepared to change the batteries every couple of months though

My grandson love this multitasking remote. it is very easy to work.its light weight and it’s a pretty white.

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.

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

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.

The control is very useful. Even controls my tvs volume/on and off. If you get tired of charging your controller then just get this. Trust me, worth it. Also, there is a button on the rear side of it to open it. You're welcome.

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.

Surprisingly satisfying peripheral. The IR functions that allow it to learn how to communicate with your television are simple to set up and while they only cover the basic functions of TV volume and power, that's enough to function as the primary remote if your console is your primary entertainment device like mine is. In comparison to the PS4 remote, this one connects with the console much faster, so you're spending more time engaging with the desired content than waiting for the remote to at first connect. Sleek, simple design and the specific streaming platform buttons make it even easier to simply jump to the content you wish to view. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the rounded bottom of the controller. It doesn't lay flat or still. It has a tendency to rock and rotate on the table when you set it down. I'm a little nitpicky about that kind of stuff. I like my products to lay flat and remain still when I set them down rather than run the risk of them falling onto the ground and becoming damaged. This is minor and doesn't take away from the overall product experience. Overall, this is one of my favorite things about the PS5. Highly recommend to any interested parties.

This is my granddaughter's review. The playstation 5 remote is a very nice remote when it comes to watching whatever streaming service you have on your playstation 5 without your controller dying because you have to keep it on to change what you want to watch. I really enjoy this remote and I love what the PlayStation 5 has going on with the white with hints of black, it makes it look clean and, on top of that, it could be hard to lose because of the bright white if you do tend to lose your remotes. Overall it is very nice and very clean, I think it is worth a buy!

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.

This is the best for my wife and kids. No more dropping a $60+ controller while watching movies. The additional Disney and Netflix buttons are terrific. Still accidentally change still occurs with how easy it is to bump a button though. At least if you drop it the replacement won’t be another controller. Works fast and is easy to use.

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.

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

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.
