Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 customer!

Highly recommend the remote if you do a decent amount of content viewing like Youtube, Netflix etc. If so using the remote will help preserve your controllers battery life and not having to constantly turn it back on or even accidentally pressing buttons which happens to me a lot. Batteries come included as well. Cons: Quality feels a bit cheap, the back plating on mine moves around a bit. My only other con is I wish the dedicated button for spotify, disney+, netflix, and YouTube could be remapped to something else.

Perfect for when you don’t feel like wasting your ps5 controller battery. Works fast and automatically connects to tv so I can adjust the volume from it. Very convenient

I switched from using a Google Chromecast to my PS5 for streaming and this remote has been awesome. It works well and connects with my sound system. It has been a great option for controlling my PS5 while still feeling like I’m watching TV.

It works beautifully! I can control our sound, and it shuts off all of our devices (ps5, tv, and denon receiver). It doesn’t require constant charging, like the controllers. Definitely satisfied with this purchase! Also, it’s very decently priced.

Awesome Controller for any PlayStation users who enjoy streaming and/or Blu-ray movies

I've always bought the remote so when I watch media on it I didn't have to use the PlayStation remote works as intended

I really thought this little guy was trivial, but I was so wrong. Provided you have HDMI linking all set up this little remote does it all! Turns my TV on separately if desired, obviously the PS5 unit and even controls the volume on my receiver. First time setup and initial 4K disc playback was a tad clunky, but after that it was a breeze and this comes in super useful so you can control media how you want with it and save the juice in your game controllers rightfully for games. Gone are the days of accidentally bumping the game controller. Thank you Sony for not only making this, but for releasing it Day 1 too. I tested the pre-populated function buttons too like Disney Plus and it took me directly to Disney Plus on the PS5 so I could instantly start enjoying the newest episode of The Mandalorian. What more could you ask for?!!!

Looks great, feels great and reminds me of the Samsung One remote that I love. It gets rid of all the clutter of older remotes and paired easily with my tv in the click of a button so I can control my TV volume and cut it off with the media remote. The voice dictation works well but like Siri, saying something like “Kena Bridge of Spirits” may get picked up as “Can of Bridges Spirit” lmao. Only other thing to mention is the buttons click pretty loudly so at night if you sleep with a partner in your room, it’s a little loud if you’re clicking a lot trying to type something in. Overall tho it feels premium to me and is great for navigating media and saving controller battery. So nice to not have to use my DualSense when I head to bed and switch over to Netflix or YouTube. Especially since I’ve noticed that unlike with PS4, whenever I turn off my DualSense in the control center, as soon as it turns off it doesn’t go back to playing your media apps, the screen just stays on the control center. So if you plan on watching media apps and not wasting your controller battery while videos play, you’re gonna need the media remote or hope PS puts out an update to fix the issue.

Saves a ton of battery for the controller. Love the sleek feel. Only thing is it spins on flat surfaces, but i have it in a way where that’s not an issue. Would def recommend if you use your ps5 to stream media

I’ve had my PS five for almost a year now and I have most of the accessories it comes with it and I have several remotes and controllers that I use for my television,sound bar, fan, etc. I bought the PS five remote because I thought that it might make it easier to where I’m not constantly fumbling with different remotes and it has done just that. Now instead of using my controller my TV remote and my sound bar remote when I’m watching television on my PS five I can use just the PS five remote to control everything I need to control it’s made a big difference just wish I would’ve got it along time ago.

This is a great media remote for the PS5. It makes playing media apps and Blu-rays super easy and I love how it also controls your TV and has four shortcut buttons for popular apps. This is a must buy PS5 accessory.

The PS5 remote is decent enough on paper. It is a remote that syncs to your playstation 5 and your TV if it allows that. And really as far as that the remote is fine. It has a few specific channel buttons on it(netflix, disney+, YouTube, and... spotify) which work but might not really be the stream choices some might personally choose making the buttons useless. However if you plan to stream off your PS5 and don't want to have your controller battery used for non gaming moments this will be the best device for you.

Saves a lot of time charging remotes. I hated turning off and on the remote every time I had to change an episode or skip an add. This remote even turns on and off the tv along with the console. I love it and would recommend to all PlayStation users.

If you have a ps5 you definitely need this is saves time and your remote controls battery !

Remote works awesome, very convenient. Love the design, just wish the plastic was a little better feeling in quality. Other than that love the look and use of the remote.

Makes it so you don't have to drain the battery on your controller plus it connects to your tv for power and volume while streaming media. Comes with 2 AA batteries

Ps media remote is a must have! Would recommend 100%

Really cool and awesome looking remote easy to use after ling up with your console !

They’re great! Easy to use and setup, great button layout, clicky button feeling, shortcuts for certain apps in the bottom, easy to put in battery, almost budget-price, hidden PS logos on the remote, perfect size, easy to hold and feels great to hold, and looks great when placed near the PS5/other PS5 accessories.
