Customer Ratings & Reviews

Loving the remote. My PS5 is my primary media streaming device in my home theater setup, and I was getting tired of using the DualShock remote every time I wanted to stream a movie. The remote is very streamlined and has good connection. I just wish it was backlit for use in dark rooms. I also like the pre-mapped shortcut buttons, as I watch a lot of YouTube on my PS5 so having an instant shortcut is convenient.

Optimal Ps5 Tv controller that maximize the battery life & helps keep the game controller off whislt enjoying media entertainment. Best Buy had it right on hand, did not have to wait on shipping { online had 5 days shipping lead time!}. Grateful for the in store pick up options

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!

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 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.

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.

Only downside is battery life. Its not bad but dies faster than you would think.

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.

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 remote works very well. I wanted to use my playstation like a tv box and this helps me very much.

It works great...but I knew what i was getting...i had one previously but the battering destroyed the remote

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.

Works great. App buttons are convenient and it gives your controllers a break to stay charged.

Extremely easy to pair with PS5 and our Samsung TV. We use it daily and have no complaints. The easy buttons to watch Netflix and listen to Spotify are nice.

The setup process was really easy. The remote itself comes with batteries and it doesn’t feel cheap. During the setup process it automatically detects your tv or monitor and syncs with your device. A MUST BUY.

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.

The remote is useful but the battery life sucks. I think it's the Bluetooth connection that drains it. It would be a lot better if the batteries were built-in and rechargeable like the controllers. Mine last maybe a few months, compared to a TV remote that's garbage. I use my PS5 for nearly everything on my TV, so they get a lot of use.

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.
