Can you believe Sony charged $50 for a remote that can't fast forward or rewind their own movies with the ffwd or rwnd buttons.
You have to use the directional buttons & snag they are sketchy. You might have to press them 5 times to work & even then you have to hold them down. So if you need to restart a movie you need to hold it down for a long time. There is no option to start again.
Ffwd only stops feed 10 secs & for some rain you can only do it once then have to press play and do it again making it pointless
The PS5 controller does a better job.
You might say it's a media review which I guess it is but if that's so why not have STAN & PRIME etc on it. Yes every region is distant but having some PRIME buttons or region specific remotes where they just charge the extra 2-4 buttons @50 dollars.
Is cheesier the bit The amazon firestick lite @$49 & it has a remote & the device plus 50 x as many apps.
You can't even buy movies anymore for some rain on the PS5. Makes me think they are going to be getting into the streaming business and forcing us to use that.
Crackle you say. Come on that's a pathetic token effort service.
People in these reviews are kind of missing the point half of them miss these points at all then commission about the fit which is thst one point they are wrong on. It's spread to have a fit & finish like this. It's a design choice you so & so 's. How do they own a PS5 & not see that. Do they think those panels on the PS5 are warped & extend above because it's bad workmanship or a design choice. Do they think this massive company intends to sell millions of these but the for philosophy is close enough is good enough. It's supposed to match the ps5 for gods sake.
How do you charge this much for a remote & I did not work with movies properly.
I thought they did not put a ffwd or rewind button on screen so we had to buy this to watch movies more readily rather than use controller. But know the buttons are only for apps. What a joke of a remote.
How is it firetv gives you s device and a remote plus so many apps and even games (bad ones) plus ability to mirror etc cheaper than this which essentially is worse than the controller for watching movies.
Sorry but this is mind boggling.
Essentially it had about 5 useable buttons for movies. That's $10 a button. Then cm extra 4 for apps plus the fwd & rwd & that's it. You can't use the volume etc of using a reciever or amp.
This is the most over priced worst remote I have ever seen since relies were invented & I am old enough to remember them having cords.
Do not buy unless you want 4 dedicated buttons for YouTube, Disney, spotify or YouTube. I say buy a firestick tv lite. Then you are not wearing your ps5 out residual on hot days & using a lot more electricity and you have way more apps & it loads instantly & the remote is smaller and lighter. It just fits not have the dedicated buttons but it has voice control & a better menu system. A way better purchase I guarantee.

Good quality, could be slightly bigger for Aussie hands, would more suit a teenage girl or Sony executive.

The only reason I wanted this remote was for playing disc based media (blu-ray and uhd discs) on the PS5 but the remote doesn't even have the ability to navigate chapters (next chapter/previous chapter). This is purely designed for streaming apps and nothing more. If you intend to use your PS5 for disc based media then just use the dualsense controller.

Remote control is good to have as I'm using my ps5 mor media consumption like Netflix. However this remote is too unconventional, sometimes it works, sometimes its not even with new batteries. You just need to be lucky for that day and minute, and its irritating. After less than a year of using it with that behaviour this now completely dies and not working. Very low quality for a Sony product.
Should have been a built in battery instead of 2 AA battery.

Perfect way to have a disc player capability without a separate box. The remote makes it easy to use the ps5 as a Blu-ray player. Can’t fault this

Super easy to set up, controls TV on/off and volume, and quick access buttons to popular streaming services. We’ve used this quite a lot in our household surprisingly as it’s more a novelty than a necessity. Has a finicky catch at the base to open which can be frustrating to open for battery removal/replacement, but that aside it’s been a handy addition to the ps5 setup. No regrets.

This was awesome and so useful at first but randomly stopped working. Tried everything to fix it but it just seems to have died.

Really nice looking remote. Easy to use and set up. Really anyone that uses their Ps5 to multitask needs this. You don’t want to waste battery on your controller so I use the remote for non gaming things.
