    Good for streaming not so good for disc watching.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Once we figured out to connect it with Bluetooth it works great. I didnt think I needed it, but was glad I received it as a present now that I have it.

    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.

    Much easier to use instead of the game controller. Only downside is that the buttons do not light up (or have a backlight)

    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.

    Great little remote for the PS5. The only draw backs is that it's slightly slippery in the hand and sometimes when not using it for a period of time, I have to hit a button twice. Once to "wake it up" and the second is the valid input. It will work flawlessly after that. I did end up buying a silcone skin to help the slippery issue.
