Playstation Media Remote

Me gusta el diseño y funciona de maravilla por mala suerte mi tv no se pudo configurar pero el control está de lujo

I love this! We use the PS5 to run all of our tv subscriptions but not everyone in the house knows how to operate the controller. This makes it as easy as the tv remote with quick buttons to some of the more popular subscriptions. It was also easy to sync to my TV. My only complaint is that I am still unable to get this remote sync'd with my receiver. I will report back if I figure it out.

Great for reducing wear and tear of controller

This remote is awesome. I have a Samsung TV for the last 4 or 5 years and since day one, the Samsung remote didn't work well. You have to stand in specific places for it to connect to the tv and it's like you have to wait for the tv to do whatever before pushing the next button. I got the PS5 remote primarily to watch shows or movies on my PS5. The option to be able to use it for my tv was just a bonus.But since I've had it, about 24 hours now, the PS5 remote works better on my tv than the remote that came with it! I don't have to even point the remote in the direction of the tv and it still does what I need to do immediately. Every time I turn the tv on using the Samsung remote, it defaults to Samsung TV channels and because the remote doesn't connect well, takes some time to select source and switch to PS5. Sometimes the volume is up from the night before and the Samsung remote doesn't respond to volume or mute buttons for several seconds when you first turn it on. ( I'm sure my neighbors love that.)But with this PS remote, when I turn the tv on, it automatically takes me to PS5 screen/source and responds to the mute or volume buttons immediately.The PS remote is small but it does what more than what I need it to do. The Samsung remote is larger but I appreciate that the PS remote buttons aren't as small as the ones on my Samsung remote and they feel intuitive. The Samsung remote has never felt intuitive, even after owning it for 4 or 5 years.I love my Samsung tv but they got to do better with the remotes. We have had 2 of these Samsung tvs and both remotes respond (or don't respond) the same way.I'm surprised that my satisfaction for this remote is less about the PS5 and more about the remote in general. And I'm willing to bet it even costs less than the price of replacing the Samsung remote if I needed to.The only things I'll say that might be cons is there is a weird curve to the back of the remote, it feels strange in my hand. I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's like Apple's Magic Mouse. Feels weird in your hand, like it should be bulkier or something.And the other, I had to be careful not to break the back plate off. The little push button on the back to get to the battery compartment doesn't work well. It took a few minutes to get it off and then a few minutes to put it back on. That's really a minimal issue though because how often will I be going into the battery compartment?! If you're reading this, just be careful not to break it.

Comes in handy. It was useful at the time when I didn’t have a smart tv but now I hardly use it. It’s a little finicky with the position of the sensor on my ps5 I think too because sometimes the buttons wouldn’t register right away for whatever reason. The back cover is a little cheap so be careful taking it off and putting it back- def use the button because I didn’t and ended up making the cover loose but that’s user error. Bought a silicon cover though and that’s perf for this remote.

Perfect for use when not playing games and to watch my favorite shows without having to use ps5controller

I had high hopes for the PlayStation Media Remote, but after purchasing not one, but two, I can confidently say this product is a huge disappointment. The first remote started having issues shortly after I bought it, and assuming I got a defective unit, I decided to give it another shot. Big mistake—the second one is just as bad, if not worse.Major Issues:Unresponsive Buttons – The remote often fails to register commands, making simple actions like pausing or fast-forwarding a nightmare. Sometimes I have to press a button multiple times before anything happens.Lag and Delays – There's a noticeable delay between pressing a button and seeing a response on the PS5. It's frustrating when trying to navigate menus or control playback.Streaming Buttons are Useless – The dedicated Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, and YouTube buttons barely work. Instead of launching apps instantly, half the time nothing happens, or worse, it opens the wrong app.TV Controls Don't Work Properly – The supposed ability to control my TV’s power and volume is unreliable at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and I often end up using my regular TV remote anyway.Build Quality Feels Cheap – For an official PlayStation accessory, this remote feels flimsy. The buttons feel mushy, and it doesn't seem like it will last long (which, given my experience, it won’t).Battery Life is Awful – This remote eats through batteries faster than any other device I own. A rechargeable option would have been much better, but instead, I’m stuck constantly swapping AA batteries.No Backlit Buttons – For a media remote, this is a major oversight. Trying to use it in a dimly lit room is incredibly frustrating.Final Verdict:I regret wasting my money on this twice. It’s unreliable, laggy, and doesn’t perform as advertised. If you’re thinking about getting one—don’t. Just use your DualSense controller; it works way better. Sony really dropped the ball on this one.⭐ 1/5 Stars – Would give zero if I could.
