Customer Ratings & Reviews

The playstation remote works great and is a nice addition to the ps5 accessories. This remote is perfect for an HD TV that doesn't have smart capabilities and you want to use the PS5 as the entertainment center.

Works great when you don't want the Dual sense controller laying around the couch

This remote works much better with the PS5 than using the PS4 DVD remote. However, the PS5 remote has a microphone on it, but I didn't learn till I got home that it isn't enabled yet by Sony. Was very disappointed I cant search by voice with it like I can with the PS5 gamepad remote. Overall it gets the job done for what it is designed for.

Love the remote. Hated that I purchased as a Xmas gift in 12/10/20 and just received it on 1/20/21! I ended up giving this one away since I purchased one from a different retailer that shipped before Xmas! Had I known it was pretty much a preorder I would have never purchased a time sensitive item from BB.

When you knock it off the arm of the sofa the batteries pop out a little and you have to fix it or it doesnt work right. Easy connection though.

It's nice Sony made a first party media remote however it falls a bit short. The remote is small and comfortable in hand. It doesn't weight much. It picked up the manufacturer of my TV automatically and was able to control the volume without fuss. For the streaming apps it seems to be a good remote. Essential buttons are there and quick access buttons to popular apps are right on the remote. If however you picked this up to watch Blu-ray Disc then it falls short. There are no next/previous chapter buttons. I thought maybe you held down the fast forward/rewind buttons or the left/right buttons but nope. There isn't a stop button so you have to pull up the control panel by hitting options button then make your way over to control panel and hit enter and then hit the stop button. There also isn't a pop up menu button. Have to do a similar procedure to access this function as to access the stop function. So in summary, it's a pretty decent remote if you are using the streaming apps but falls short for disc based watching.

Fairly useless, honestly. Your PS5 controller is more useful for most things. This remote is not designed well for disc video playback. It’s more optimized for apps like Netflix. Unless you’re using your PS5 nearly exclusively as a streaming device, you can skip buying this.

Ayo, I never knew this existed, but holy cow. THIS REMOTE, is definitely one for the record books. I love everything about it besides the build quality feels like the controller with no weight.

2 weeks review- i got it on sale Blk Fri. Honestly i think its human error that makes complications or when the PS5 freezes the remote doesn’t work when the PS5 isn’t functioning correctly. The most difficulties ive had with the remote is getting the TV or the PS to respond.

This Remote is nice to have with the system does the job very well

Nice addition to your PS5. Very easy to set up and use. Must have.

Not necessary. Just one more thing to lose, and the controller works just fine without it. Waste of money for sure.

I love it but wish it had more functions to access tv menus.

Good remote, but it is difficult to get use to the on screen menu system that is designed for a PlayStation 5 dualsense controller. Expect it to take a week or two tp master. Build quality is great and when I am watching my physical media I am using a 30 dollar controller instead of a 70 dollar one so it reduces wear and tear.

Much easier to use for media than the PlayStation game controller

Since my gaming consoles aIways double as a movie/TV hub I always buy remote controls and this was no exception. I especially like how it has the shortcut keys for the different apps. Would highly recommend for anyone who using their PS5 for double or triple duty.

Wasn't available the day that it stated but very happy with my purchase.

It's got a good weight and does what you'd want it to do, but after purchasing it... I'm not sure if it's worth $30. It's nice to be able to hit the fast queued buttons at the bottom for Disney+ and Netflix, but it's really not a lot faster or more convenient than using the controller.

Nice product. Matches the ps5 works well with Netflix and hilu

Worth buying if you don't want to use your controller while watching blurays and streaming movies. It's a little on the light side weight wise but that's ok. The playstation button on the bottom is worth it alone. Not having to get up and grab a controller to log in is so much better.
