However, there are a couple of aspects that could use some improvement. The buttons, while functional, don’t offer the best tactile experience. I’ve noticed that they can be somewhat stiff and less responsive, making navigation a bit tricky at times. This is especially evident during prolonged use or when trying to quickly access certain functions.
Despite this, I still find the PlayStation Media Remote to be a nice-to-have accessory for any PS5 owner. It streamlines the process of controlling media, which is particularly useful for those who use their console for more than just gaming. Just be aware of the button issue, and you’ll find it a worthwhile addition to your PlayStation experience.

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.

Before I was using a Roku box but it messed up my TV every time I turned it on it would glitch out my TV. So now my PS5 is what I use to watch TV/Streaming Apps. It’s been a few days & the remote still works great. I looks very nice & does feel more cheaper compared to the material used for the PS5 gaming controller but it is just a remote so it’s not that serious. It looks very nice though. Connected very well to my Samsung tv. Highly recommend. If anyone is having problems with theirs try switching out the batteries. Usually remotes won’t work properly if the batteries are old.

Best purchase ever!
If you use your Playstation for your streaming apps, this is a must have! It is so incredibly convenient to be able to turn the TV and the Playstation on with one remote and for that remote to use regular batteries as opposed to charging. Is it a necessity? No, but it is such a time saver and convenience that I’m so glad I made this purchase. I haven’t experienced any issues with the remote after listening to other reviews and using my own batteries as opposed to the ones that came with it. I highly recommend this remote!
