    Sleek Beautiful Sony Quality This remote really simplifies the viewing experience to be more realistic. Completely eradicates the feeling of missing an actual Blu Ray player

    Nice to have, works well for the system. Only pain point is on opening the battery pack. Not very functional / feels a little cheap.

    At first ut was a nifty little remote.. after having it for a bit i noticed how poor the quality was. If you dont set it down gently then the batteries pop out and it doesnt work.. when you take the back off its a pain to get it back on and now my volume and power buttons intermitely work.. in order for them to work i have to take out the batteries and put them back in and sonetimes that does not fix the problem .. so all in all not a product i would recommend..

    Remote issue

    My problem with this remote is that it turns my ps5 on without me touching the the remote itself. My dog barks and activates the remote and turns my system on. I didn’t notice a microphone button on the media remote before, so I tried speaking into the remote to see if I could turn the system on and off, but could not. A time where I was playing a game, and the remote just turned on like someone was pushing the buttons, my dog wasn’t barking and though my dog barking was causing it to activate. I think Sony might need to work on fixing some bugs with the media remote and the ps5, so it self activate. When I first bought the remote I didn’t have any issues with it at all. Weird remote

    I bought this before I bought my new 4K vizio p series tv and didn’t know I could use my tv remote to control everything on the ps5 so pretty much bought it for no reason but it’s good for older TVs that don’t do that .besides that the remote is awesome

    The remote would be perfect if you were able to pair with your gaming monitor. It does make it easier for when you’re just watching shows and not gaming and don’t want to kill your controller

    I bought this for the PS5 that I don't have yet. I plan on using it when I can actually get one. For now I just point it at my dog and pretend to turn her volume down. It doesn't really work that good for that.

    Has good basic functionality. Although I found that sometimes it does not stay connected to my PS5, so I have to put it in pairing mode and go through the tedious process of repairing to my PlayStation.
