Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got it for a great price on sale at Best Buy. Easy to connect to iPhone and start driving around. Mechanism to lower/raise center wheel works nicely. Smaller than you expect.

I love this new addition to the Sphero Star Wars line of remote control droids. It’s a lesser known character but functions just like R2-D2. Collect them all.

Everything from Spero is great. This droid works great and is very reactive to both the app on an iPhone as well as the force band by Sphero. Hours of fun!!

This is just like R2D2 only in black, it was a gift and my daughter says that she loves it, it was easy for her to link it to her phone and make it move the way she wants it to. It is a lot of phone.

This may be R2-D2's evil twin but he's a lot of fun to play with and let loose in your world. He is not as "pleasant" as R2-D2 but what droid built by the Empire is? I own a Sphero BB-8 because he's my favorite of all the Star Wars droids. I find R2-Q5 (and by proxy R2-D2) to be MUCH easier to control than the BB-8 droid, probably due to knowing which side it the front of the droid. Watching the Star Wars movies with these devices is a lot of fun and something many owners don't know they can do. Just make sure you get the app on your phone and have it running during the movie.

Not as interactive as I thought it was going to be but still a great robot.

Quality is excellent and it does what is described. I would not buy this at $200 (or even $100) but it seems to go on sale for $50 regularly these days (July, 2018). At that price it's worth picking up if you are into the Star Wars thing.

Good quality toy and is easily controlled via the downloadable APP. Bought this for my Nephew and he loves it.

It’s good for teens joy. It’s compatible with iOS and Android devices. It interacts with R2-D2, BB-8 and BB-9E perfectly. My daughter loves it.

Very cool remote control Star Wars bot. App is used to control the bot. Lots of options and different ways to make it move or make sound or react.

This is a great collectable for any star wars fan. The quality is excellent and worth the money. When I saw on sale, I went and bought a second!

This droid is built a lot better than R2-D2 and fits into anyone’s collection. It’s perfect to play with or simply sit on you desk. Two thumbs up.

I may look like R2 but it doesn't sound like R2. Just the different sounds & lights separate these amazing driods & makes it all worth it!

This app controlled robot is great for play, coding, or just watching Star Wars. This reacts to the movie or maps out a room. Outstanding item.

As Star Wars fans, we have all of the Sphero Star Wars droids. R2-Q5 is awesome, does everything that Sphero claims and is loads of fun to control.

Sphero rocks again. This new addition works great with app. Interaction between the droids is great. Model detail perfect. This is a must have

Great item. Makes sounds that are different than Sphero R2-D2. My cats are obsessed with it and stalk it while it’s in operation. A lot of fun!

Fun droid to start off with. Bought it for my 5 year old, but I play with it more often than she does. Responds to commands and is easy to use

I bought this for my 8 yr old nephew in another state. My Bro says he likes it. Easy to get started using. Let's see how long it lasts. Got it from Best Buy's "Deal of the Day" for more than half off. I wouldn't pay full price.

Just want to share that this is essentially the same as R2D2, however, it is a LE from BB only. For true SW fans, it is a good piece to collect as well. For others, I'd suggest the original R2D2, unless one enjoys 'black' version
