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.

PlayStation 5: Media Remote
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020
Despite being unsure whether this media remote would be something of use, I decided to gamble on it anyway.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020
The remote has a smart look with its colour theme being in-line with the PS5 console and it's also compact in size so doesn't take up too much room.
It does require two AA batteries (included) and slots into a seamless battery compartment that was a little tricky to open at first.
Pairing with the PS5 took under a minute, just need to go into the settings and accessories tab and it will guide you through the process and even give you an option to work with your TV, such as adjusting the volume.
This media remote is not a required accessory as the DualSense works brilliantly but if you want to save your controllers battery for gaming, then the remote is certainly a nice addition to have. I really like the quick select options for Spotify, YouTube, Netflix & Disney+ and it's a bit nicer to do everything with one hand.
If the above ticks your boxes, then I would definitely recommend it.
✔ Pros:
✓ Compact & lightweight.
✓ Simple set-up.
✓ Comfortable to use.
✓ Very convenient.
✓ Batteries included.
✖ Cons:
✘ Not rechargeable.

Comprato per evitare di utilizzare il pad della ps5 che poi dimenticavo acceso e perennemente poi lo ritrovavo scarico il giorno dopo. Con il telecomando non ho più questo problema. È compatto, ha tutti i tasti utili e necessari per navigare nella play ed è compatibile anche con la mia TV! Con dei semplici passi, il telecomando è stato riconosciuto sia da PS5 sia sulla mia panasonic; posso anche direttamente accendere e spegnere la TV da questo telecomando, senza dover necessariamente riempirmi di telecomandi per accendere/spegnere/alzare/abbassare il volume. La confezione è provvista di pile SONY e quindi non serve prendere altro per farlo funzionare. Contentissima anche la mia ragazza che non è pratica del pad di PS5. Prezzo onesto, merita l'acquisto.
