    This is a cool extra feature to have. I like the fact that you can control things on your Playstation 5 with a little mini remote. This helps those that are confused with the regular game controller. This is a nice piece of extra hardware for your PS5.

    The remotes cool to have but with the lack of any lights on it makes it hard to find with your using it in a dark room and the direction buttons can sometimes be a lil annoying but it’s still a good remote to have. If you don’t want to use your controllers and run the charge out of them.

    Works great, stays connected better than a previous remote I tried. I would've liked if it had lights and there were color options (other than white).

    This is a good solution for media while your game controller charges. It is a basic remote with essential functions that just work. My only gripe with it is that the battery cover is difficult to reattach.

    Nice remote, but only when it wants to work.

    This media remote was bought specifically for family members who wants to use Netflix, Prime, etc using my PS5 but can't stand using the DualSense to navigate the PS5 OS. Pairing it was easy and quick. The button layout is as simple as it could get for those folks who are technologically inclined. I gave this remote 3 out of 5 stars for the fact that it still suffers some of the same issues which affected the PS4, namely Bluetooth connectivity issues. When it works, the remote is great, but when it's having Bluetooth connectivity issues, it can be aggravating. I would also like to add that removing and replacing the battery cover can be a bit tricky for the first few tries, which in my honest opinion is simply a bad design.

    Pretty nice color and feeling to it and it also includes the batteries so I don’t need to worry about buying them. Would recommend it if you do have the ps5 console and can be used as a backup remote in case you lose a tv remote.

    It doesn’t have a mic on it which I found weird. After two years it’s holding up and working well. Sometimes it gets bugged so you have to turn off the ps5 completely.

    Great concept if you want a remote control for your PS5. Not sure why you would want one though....isn't that what the controllers are for? anyways, its white and matches color, so why not?

    Love it, if you watch YouTube or Netflix this is great. Just keep it away from your animals, had to buy a new one because my dog used it as a chew toy.

    If you're looking at this, it's because you're either a collector, or lazy. Usually both. I am both. I rarely need it but it's far more accessible for me than my regular remote is, So if it's available, HURRY UP BEFORE THE BOTS GET YOU.

    It does what its supposed too. Though sometimes it wont connect to the ps5 until you use a regual contoller to power up the ps5

    This is great remote to use with the playstion 5 when you are watching streaming applications. It is very responsive and quick to change the menu. I would recommend this to anyone who watches netflix or disney or hulu on their system.

    ps5 media remote. CEC doesnt work with my sony tv despite the lies about how easy the tv remote is to use with a ps5. so I bought this and it works but the remote for the ps4 pro was better.

    You dont need this remote, its good for your collection, but useless. In addition, the controller lacks grip, as it easily slips out of your hands.

    Solid remote for media controls. If your looking for a way to power on and control your PS5 without the controller, this is what your looking for. It also has quick access to Netflix and other streaming services.

    We use the PS5 as our movie player so the remote just made sense. I don't care for the overall look of it, but it does the job it was bought to do and has a fairly decent feel in the hand.
