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.

I’m so happy with this purchase!! got tired of using my controller so i bought the media remote and it’s one of the best purchases i’ve ever made. for someone who uses their console, not only for gaming but streaming, this product helps tremendously! the controller is always in the way of you but not this media remote! it even comes with preselect apps on the remote!! also, it’s super easy to set up with your tv.

Everyone knows how annoying it is to watch any media with a regular controller. You can set it down carefully but end up fast-forwarding half the episode. Yes, I know the regular TV remote can function the same way this one does, but my TV remote does not have a function for the PS button. Plus, I really like the size, and for a bonus, it has voice control

Must Have Accessory for a PlayStation 5

It is a very useful accessory for PlayStation 5 if you are watching media instead of playing games. The buttons to start Netflix, YouTube etc. are super handy. Additionally, it can also turn on your TV and control volume on it, which is a very useful feature.

If you plan on using your PS5 to watch 4k blurays, or stream movies, then this is a good remote. It has a nice design with a good feel. It does seem a little small, but they went with a simplistic design.
Compared to the remote for the PS4, this remote is short and to the point. The PS4 remote had LOTS of buttons and was an overload. But this remote has the necessary buttons plus 4 short cut buttons. Also, the PS symbol is actually the PS button, which will come in handy.
The reason for 4 stars is because I had some problems trying to close the remote after putting batteries in. It did not want to snap back in place. Though you will not have to do it often, it is not as easy as I thought it would be. Plus when trying to snap it in place, I felt like I was going to break the remote.
Overall well worth the money and a great accessory.

I love the remote. It works perfectly with the PS5 but batteries are not your friend with this. I've had to replace them twice already and I have not had the remote for a year. It could be a setting that I have but overall I love it.

I've read poor reviews on this but I actually love it. It's built using the same plastics as the PS5 remote, and of course fits the new design language. Buttons are simple and intuitive, and it just works, not to mention it's well priced.

Super easy to use and set up to the PS5 and to my TV (LG Nano 85 UNA). Able to navigate the PS5 and turn on and adjust the volume of the tv as needed. The quick steaming buttons work flawlessly. Wish you were able to customize it, however.

It's a convenient way to turn on shows and music, plus changing the volume makes it easier instead of having to use the controller to go into the settings. The buttons to directly go to the apps are great too.

I love this remote! It’s the perfect size and it also looks nice! I hated having to use my dual sense controller to stream my media so this is such a life saver. Looks and feels nice, totally worth it and very satisfied.

Love the look, size, and functionality of this little guy. What I don't like and maybe I need to dig out some instructions is there doesn't seem to be a way to close out of a movie/app while just using the remote. Otherwise this is really nice to use instead of the regular controller.

Good addition to the PS5. Much better than using the controller especially if you’re just watching streaming services. Only gripe is the back cover for the batteries doesn’t close tightly It is loose and clicky when holding it.

This is a must-have. If you use it to turn on your PS5 it'll take you directly to the media section. You also don't have to worry about keeping your controller charged.
