Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great! I highly recommend it for multi media app navigation. It also controls the valume and powers of your TV on and off. Worth evey penny!

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

Finally was able to nab one of these and I am glad I did. Only wish that you could customize the quick jump streaming buttons. Never use Spotify, but would have liked to be able to quick jump to Hulu or HBO Max. Outside of that, it's a great companion to the PS5.

I bought this to see if i could get it to work with my older tv but it was old enough to where it didnt even recognize it at all i imagine that if i had my newer tv then it would have worked amazing

small and handy, seems quite comfortable to wield.

A well thought out design. Can control my TV & PS5. Was very easy to sync up and have ready in under 2 minutes.

Works flawless would recommend it 100% Definitely helped my game controllers battery life since I don’t have to use them when I am watching my shows on the ps5

Great little remote. I use the PS5 to watch streaming Apps and the remote paired with my TCL TV and sound bar perfectly. Now I only need one remote to control 3 products. Much better than using the controller for using the streaming apps.

Overall the remote paired up easily and works fine. The detractors are too big not to mention. Those 5 buttons at the bottom that were intended to be oh-so-handy. Let's start with the media buttons. You can't reprogram them or disable them. Personally, of the 4 pre-programmed buttons, I have a subscription to Netflix. That leaves me with 3 useless buttons. Except that they're not completely useless, they're actually a pretty major hindrance. They press very easily so if you say, set the remote on the couch and then accidentally sit on it, there's a very good chance you just interrupted whatever you were watching to load Spotify or Youtube. Not only can I not use these buttons for their intended purpose (because I don't use those apps, maybe someday YouTube will make it into my regular viewing I guess?) they actively work against me, daily, when I'm using an app that I actually do subscribe to that maybe just didn't want to pay Sony to be represented on their remote. The PS button has the same issue but to a much lesser degree. It seems to happen less frequently for me and if it does I just press it again to close the overlay it brings up. Maybe relocate this towards the top in future versions of this janky remote so it doesn't come up. If this were the only problem I'd definitely consider it workable. The media buttons are absolutely worth avoiding this remote for. If they add some sort of "Safety" feature in an update so that it's not interrupting my programming on a daily basis I would up this to a 3 or 4 star review but even then the simple fact that they're not programmable is silly and a pretty major detractor. Don't waste your money unless you're aware of the exact placement of your remote at all times or you will almost definitely run into the same problems and REALLY like Youtube and Spotify.

It’s comes in handy if your dog chewed your tv remote up. I stream most of my stuff on my PS5 now but if I want to set a sleep timer or change tv settings I have to use the mobile Samsung app to do so but overall this does control my sound bar, and power of my tv as well as PlayStation.

This remote quit connecting to my PlayStation not very good……….

This remote is a great investment if you're going to use your PS5 as a DVD player. It does feel like the buttons could be better labeled. And the quick keys seem to be too easy to press.

Sony totally outdid themselves in every single way this little remote does more than an expensive remote I paid $99 for on sale. Good job Sony and voice activated for cheap the Game system was hard to get but everything all the accessories are worth it

Functional and easy to use, pairing the remote is simple. It’s exactly what it sounds like, a remote control for the PlayStation 5. Buttons are a little small for my liking.

I loved this remote for the first 3.5 months and now the only thing it will do is turn my tv on/off and turn the volume up/down. Won’t function with the PS5 now.

Love how promptly my item was shipped and received, great service

This item is perfect, save for one issue: I wish the buttons were backlit. Keep this in mind if you buy this. You will have to have the button layout memorized in a dark place. Otherwise, we all know sony makes quality products. Would have been willing to pay a few dollars extra for the backlight feature.

It’s ok it’s not the best controller it’s missing some features when you’re doing stuff on the apps or logging into stuff you still the the controller for but if you’re using it strictly for media it’s better having that small remote in your hand then the big controller to do stuff

Theres really no need for it besides for the aesthetics. Very simple and easy to use. The buttons are very sensitive if your ps5 is off and you accidentally touch a button itll turn on.

Great compact design, rear battery cover fits a bit odd though and I’m not a fan of it not having corresponding O, X, square and triangle buttons. I’ll probably end up getting an updated version when another comes out like they did for the PS4
