I have owned the remote controls for the PS3, PS4 and now the PS5. By far the poorest controller is the PS5 controller. Want to turn on subtitles go through the menu want to go forward a chapter or back a chapter, forget it, not going to happen, unless of course you go through the disc menu.Previous remotes from Sony for gaming systems having solid entries with all the controls you could want, and honestly more. This remote was designed to look like it belonged as part of a set to the PS5. But want this remote was not designed to do was provide any function for bluray playing aside from the very, very basic ones.

This is a great product to invest in if you own a PlayStation 5. On top of being able to connect directly to the volume and power of the TV your console is connected to, it works exactly as intended and is extremely durable to potential damage. The buttons and aesthetic of the remote stand out and are unique. The grip and feel of the remote may take a few days to get used to (especially if used to another remote), but that shouldn't deter anyone from adding this accessory to their collection.The most significant novelty of this product is that it provides an alternative to having to rely solely on a game controller or a universal TV remote. It essentially eliminates the burden of needing to have a controller in hand to control your system.

If you watch a lot of blu-rays or use streaming services on your PS5, this is a great (but not essential) accessory.It does make it easier to navigate your console when viewing media, allowing you to turn on both your tv and PS5 with the touch of a button if you have the HDMI device link features enabled. You can also control the volume and all the usuals you'd expect from a remote. Eliminating your need to even pick up the original controller if your goal for the evening is a movie night.Setup was easy, it takes 2 AA batteries that will no doubt last an age, and syncing to my console was painless.It's very well built and will survive a few drops as all remotes should, as they inevitably fall from the sofa, bed, chair etc. it's a nice size and comfortable to ...

I occasionally enjoy having music playing while I play fighting, sport and racing games, so it's quicker with this remote near by to use its skip features. Rather than bringing up the home menu on my regular controller to sort my music. Of course, this isn't a necessity, but a welcome convenience.I guess that's how I would sum up this product, not a necessity but a welcome convenience.

This is a terribly designed remote control. Don't let the positive reviews fool you. While it appears svelte and minimalist, it lacks some basic functions that makes one wonder what is the point of a remote control that lacks:- A genuine chapter fast-forward or reverse button. You can scan forward or backward, but sometimes when a blu-ray crashes and you have to restart it, and the PS5 conveniently forgets where you were, booting you back to the main menu, being able to just tap forward to where you were, instead of having to find the disc's chapter select, would be really nice. You can't do this though.- There's no actual stop button. In an effort to reduce the buttons on what's supposed to be a functional remote, there's a pause/play button, but no proper ...

You can't do this though.- There's no actual stop button. In an effort to reduce the buttons on what's supposed to be a functional remote, there's a pause/play button, but no proper 'stop' button. There's the PS 'home' button, but the disc is still technically 'active' unless you close the application completely.- No eject button. Why?- There's not a flat resting edge on this remote at all, which makes it prone to sliding all over the place. What the practical reason for designing this thing without a flat bottom to rest on your nightstand, side table, arm rest, whatever, is beyond me.- The PS 'home' button should have been recessed and flush with the surface of the controller. Raised as it is, it is far too easy to accidentally press it while rummaging for other remotes in my remote drawer, causing me to accidentally turn on my PS5 way more often than I'd like to. This sometimes forces me to turn on my soundbar, my projector, and to wait for everything to go through their start-up routines before I can go through the motions of shutting my PlayStation 5 back down, which wastes on average 2-3 minutes, which is a real hassle if I'm just trying to leave the house and go somewhere.In the effort to make a remote control that mirrors the annoying, sweeping architectural lines of the PS5 itself, this remote was designed to lack the most basic of functions. It's almost better to just use a DualSense controller instead of this garbage. I feel like this remote control is my entertainment enemy.
Easy to install - like incredibly easy to install. The darn thing even recognized my television brand and model and automatically configured volume control.Fits in my hand nicely. Has all the critical functions. Not as simple to use as an Apple TV remote - but close. Far better than the PS4 media remote (crazy full of useless buttons).It isn't the remote's fault, but displaying time remaining on a disc is a pain - or shall we say a hidden easter egg. The little silly three line / hamburger button shows that. And I really would have liked a slow motion button.I can do without the dedicated services buttons. But then again, those companies are subsidizing the remote, so the price is far lower than without those goofy things.
This remote is exactly what it says it is. A simple remote for the PS5. If you want a remote with more functionality, this ain't it chief, but it does its job. Pairs fast with the PS5 and my TV, though you can't change the HDMI output with this remote, which I'm disappointed about. The remote comes with Sony branded AA batteries which are nice. When opening the remote, make sure to press the little black button before lifting off the back. It got me at first but gets easier over time. Also, if you see the back cover stick out a little at the top of the remote, don't fret. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY. I think Sony wanted it to match the design aesthetic of the PS5 with the spaceship-like look and all. You can decide if they succeeded or not. Thumbs up from this ...

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 ...

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.
This remote makes it way easier to navigate PS5 functions when watching movies. The controls are not the most intuitive, but they are way better than trying to use the PS5 controller. I would have given it 5 stars, but it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to put in the batteries. It should be a simple process, but I felt like I was going to break the remote and then had a tough time putting the back on and getting it to stay put. Maybe it’s just me, but I think others will run into the same problem. I actually had to watch a YouTube video, which is kind of ridiculous since I’ve installed batteries on probably 100 remotes and never had a problem until this one.
The description of this remote control is accurate. a basic PS5 remote control. Although it doesn't have all the features you might desire in a remote, it gets the job done. The PS5 and my TV quickly pair with this remote, however I'm surprised that you can't alter the HDMI output. It's good that the remote comes with AA batteries bearing the Sony brand. Make sure to click the tiny black button before peeling off the back of the remote before opening it. It initially confused me, but it gets simpler with time. Don't worry if the rear cover of the remote appears to protrude slightly from the top. With its spaceship-like appearance and other design cues, I believe Sony wanted it to complement the PS5's design language. Whether or not they were successful is up to you.
absolute garbage remote in every way. i went into this knowing it was cheap/plastic feeling, and also that it had buttons that are essentially advertisements for services.my reason for purchasing was to 'skip chapters' while playing a bluray. you know how when you insert a bluray disc there's a never ending amount of ads, trailers blah blah. you have to skip past these each time. i was using the ps5 controller (R1) to do this. i thought hey, i'll get the official media remote...THE MEDIA REMOTE DOESNT HAVE SKIP BUTTONS, ONLY REWIND/FASTFORWARDwho leaves off skip functionality!? sony, that's who.
