This one actually looks really really cool. Looks like a mini version of the PlayStation set up super easy voice control works very well links to the TV. Well becomes a universal very very helpful useful remote only drawback could use a little bit better set up for buttons on the menu, features, other than that stellar piece of equipment, great bang for buck. Must have if you plan on watching any movies or anything else on the system

I picked this up on a whim as I generally don’t like using the standard console remotes for media viewing. This thing ended up being a bit cooler than expected, and by turning on the console with the PS button on this remote, it will take you to the media screen by default. It also interfaces with smart TVs so you can use volume controls without your TV’s default remote. Nothing truly essential, but nice to have. I would recommended it for anyone who’s using a PS5 as the primary device for streaming services, things like YouTube or Twitch, and anyone who’s using it as a DVD/Blu-Ray/UHD player.
My only complaint would be that it takes 2 AA batteries, which are not included, instead of charging via USB-C like the standard PS5 remote does.

Works great has amazing range and control of your PS5. A bit pricey in my opinion for such a simplistic accessory but does what you need it to do. No more eating away at your dualsense controllers just to watch media.

Very versatile and I don’t have to use my controller anymore to watch movies

Nice to have, works well for the system. Only pain point is on opening the battery pack. Not very functional / feels a little cheap.
JohnF –
Once we figured out to connect it with Bluetooth it works great. I didnt think I needed it, but was glad I received it as a present now that I have it.

Remote works amazing. Batteries does in two weeks first go but replacements have lasted longer so probably just bad batteries.

I purchased the PS5 Media Remote so I would have something other than the PS5 controller to use when watching media content. The PS5 media remote works as advertised and definitely better suited for media content than using the PS5 controller.

I’ve been really enjoying this remote. Microphone works great, and if you primaly stream on your ps its great to not have to worry about constantly charging your controller. Also works well as a tv remote.
NeilC –
All white buttons make it hard to see. Average product
RankleMonsta –
I bought this for a friend. He liked it as it allows him to watch movies (on disc, or streaming) without using the controller. Lightweight and fit for the task!
Alix –
Extremely easy to pair with PS5 and our Samsung TV. We use it daily and have no complaints. The easy buttons to watch Netflix and listen to Spotify are nice.
Tyler –
Never really use it I’ll be honest but when I can’t find the tv remote it really does come in handy

Who wants to operate a PS5 with a game controller only? Enter this remote, with is a must have for media play. The remote works as expected.
Mabel –
The only reason we bought it is to be able to change the volume. It works.

The Sony PlayStation 5 Media Remote initially caught my eye with its sleek, futuristic design that matches the PS5 console beautifully. It’s compact, comfortable to hold, and the button layout is intuitive, making it easy to navigate through media with ease.
However, my experience with the remote has been a mix of enjoyment and frustration. The biggest issue I’ve faced is with connectivity. The remote occasionally loses connection with the console, which interrupts the flow of using it, especially during movie nights or when browsing through different streaming services. Reconnecting it sometimes requires a full console reboot, which is inconvenient.
On the positive side, when it works, it works well. The dedicated buttons for popular streaming services are a nice touch, providing quick access. Battery life is also commendable, and the remote is efficient in waking up the PS5 from sleep mode.
In conclusion, while the Sony PS5 Media Remote offers a sleek design and user-friendly interface, the intermittent connectivity issues are a significant drawback. It’s a decent choice if you’re invested in the PlayStation ecosystem, but be prepared for potential interruptions.
