    Absolutely a must have for your ps5. If you like watching blu-rays and streaming services, this is something you're going to want!

    Hit and miss at times. Very convenient to have as it allows you to take a break from using your controller. Easy access to Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and Spotify with designated buttons. Remote does disconnect frequently from PS5, only downfall.

    Compact, works well, syncs with most modern TVs. Has a dedicated youtube button, which is more useful for me than a lot of streaming services.

    Pricey for what it is, but works very reliably. I actually haven't streamed a lot through the PS5 as I have the options on my TV but the little I've used it left me impressed. Hopefully, the price goes down a little as demand normalizes.

    A must own if you plan on using your PS5 for either 4k Blu Ray discs and / or various streaming services. Much better than relying on the standard gaming controller. It is a bit pricey for what it is though.

    I bought this remote for the PS5 that I don't have. Some day I will buy the PS5 to go with my remote, but Best Buy don't have any right now. So I can wait and maybe I can use the remote with my PS4.

    Works amazing when using your PS5 as a media machine. I use my PS5 as my main media device. The Dualsense controller is great for games, but sucks for media. This is by far the best solution for that.

    I want to like it 'cause of the functionality but I just can't get over the cheap-plastic feel of it. Can do without. Bought it just to have to be honest.

    It takes awhile getting use to. The playstation button, I think, is awkwardly placed at the bottom of the remote. There are times it feels like it's going to slip out of my hand.

    A handy remote, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t control my AV receiver volume with this. It only controls power and volume for the TV. The Amazon fire stick remote let’s you power up a TV and receiver using a single button press then you can control the volume of the receiver directly. For the PS5 remote, I’ll still need to use a separate remote to power on my receiver and control the volume. Not much better than just using the dual sense. Bottom line, it’s not easy for my wife to use, so it’ll probably just end up in a cabinet somewhere.

    This comes in handy when watching blurays. You don't really need this, but I'd rather have it than to use the controller, plus I don't want drained controllers if I want to play a game after a movie

    Takes a bit of getting used to as the buttons to navigate at times feel a bit too small. App launches are smooth and is worth getting if you're going to be using the PS5 as a media player.

    Great remote. Looks great and pairs well with the PlayStation visually. The only gripe I have is that there’s no option to skip forward by chapter when watching actual disc movies.

    You might think it’sa waste of money and you don’t need it. Fair enough. But you’re wrong. It’s worth every penny. Just buy it.
