Greatest remote that PlayStation has made to date! They really went for a minimalist approach which I greatly approve of. Add the beautiful sleek look and and the quick access buttons to apps that I love and you have a masterpiece. This also works with my Sony TV right out of the box.

Drain this battery (they’re included) and leave your controller for gaming. Bought at standard price no issue connecting to Samsung Frame TV (2022 model) does what a remote should do. Intuitive controllers no complaints.

I always tend to use my consoles as media devices and this remote makes the experience flawless. I just wish I could reassign the quick action buttons on the bottom of the remote to different apps, but other then that it’s a must buy.

Easy to install - like incredibly easy to install. The darn thing even recognized my television brand and model and automatically configured volume control.
Fits in my hand nicely. Has all the critical functions. Not as simple to use as an Apple TV remote - but close. Far better than the PS4 media remote (crazy full of useless buttons).
It isn't the remote's fault, but displaying time remaining on a disc is a pain - or shall we say a hidden easter egg. The little silly three line / hamburger button shows that. And I really would have liked a slow motion button.
I can do without the dedicated services buttons. But then again, those companies are subsidizing the remote, so the price is far lower than without those goofy things.

We really enjoin the convenience of not having to use our controller for the remote. The remote works great. I love how I can go straight to whatever app i have on my remote.

I bought this product for my parents to use so they can stream shows on Netflix on PS5 because my parents don't know how to use my PS5 controller so this product is great for those who don't know how to use a PS5 controller. A+++

This remote is awesome. You can turn on the TV and PS5 with this remote, and you can control volume. The dedicated buttons to go to Netflix and Disney+, etc. work perfectly and instant. Definitely pick this up if you use your PS5 as a streaming device on top of a game console.

Good remote for streaming or watching movies on the PS5. Much easier to use than the controller. Design is smaller and more compact than the PS4 media remote. Only strange thing is the shape of the back which is not flat and can sometimes spin on the table. Overall I would recommend for PS5 owners.

Feels nice. Quality. Wish it lit up so you could see in the dark, also a bit too touchy. Hitting buttons when i dont mean to. Not sure i would purchase again at that price.

What a great item, we use the playstation for everything, streaming, playing, dvds and controlers die and have to be switched out so quickly. Great to have it all in one place and works on the tv as well!

Pretty Good Once You Get the Batteries In

This remote makes it way easier to navigate PS5 functions when watching movies. The controls are not the most intuitive, but they are way better than trying to use the PS5 controller. I would have given it 5 stars, but it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to put in the batteries. It should be a simple process, but I felt like I was going to break the remote and then had a tough time putting the back on and getting it to stay put. Maybe it’s just me, but I think others will run into the same problem. I actually had to watch a YouTube video, which is kind of ridiculous since I’ve installed batteries on probably 100 remotes and never had a problem until this one.

Simple and easy to use when you don't want to game but use your PS5 as a streamer or Blu-ray player. Using a media remote takes my mind off games and into movie mode. Batteries don't last a crazy long time and when you pair it for the first time it may take a hot second to pair but that's it.

One of the best extras I purchased for the PS5. I use it every day. Plus it’s so convenient to keep everything to one remote while watching my shows on different apps. Definitely one to get if you haven’t already. Plus it’s sharp looking too. Matches the rest of the system.
