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. Review: (Edited) Great Media Device! - Edit: After switching out the batteries, as I was using the ones that came with it, I have not had the issues I had ever again. I was disregarding the forum posts that talked about replacing the batteries truly not expecting it to be the reason the device wouldn’t work properly on that level, but it seemed to have been at least for my situation. I will keep my original review underneath for those who still wish to know, but have increased to 5 stars. Original: When I first got this, it worked lovely, had no issues. After about a week, it struggles to reliably connect to the system after it goes to sleep and the microphone doesn’t seem to work anymore. I’ve had it less than a month as of writing this. I would give 3 stars but, I’m taking some responsibility in that I have dropped it (only about 3ft drops) about 2 or 3 times, I know it’s possible that it could be from that, but I don’t feel that connectivity should be spotty from that, but could understand the mic. In addition to that, others on the internet have reported similar issues to mine with no solution as far back as PS5 launch. Overall, sellers are amazing, product itself seems shorty at best. ## Features - Media playback controls - Quickly navigate media with built-in play/pause, fast forward and fast reverse buttons. - Seamless console compatibility - Power on your PS5 console and navigate its menus directly with the remote for ultimate convenience. - TV settings - Adjust the volume and power settings of compatible TVs with the built-in IR transmitter.

I’ve had my PS5 since release date. Just until a few months ago I used it for strictly gaming. Now I use it as a media hub for all my steaming. I was tired of using my remote and having to constantly worry about it going to sleep and constantly recharging it. A lot of reviews say “stopped working in the first month” or some similar. I will say my mine stopped working after about a month. The batteries died. I can only assume this is basically just a mini controller which means it’s constantly connected to the PS. Much like the remotes, after a certain period of time, the remote goes to sleep. There have been countless times where I could hit pause and it would pause immediately. Then there are times where I have to press it twice, presumably because it went to sleep much like the PS5 remote, so the first push is to awake it and the second is to register the command. I say all this and hope I can help some put off by the negative reviews. You either need a lot of double A batteries, or have rechargeable batteries. Thankfully due to my extensive flashlight hobby, I have a bunch of rechargeable double A batteries that are always on stand by. I know that is not feasible for most, and I agree the battery life is terrible with this remote. But buying even a 4 pack of rechargeable batteries and a charger, you’d really never have to worry about having to replace the batteries once they die. All in all, this little remote is great and I’m glad I don’t have to use my remotes anymore. Just keep in mind with the reviews that say they stopped working after a month. While it’s try, it’s not a faulty remote, it’s the extreme battery use this little remote uses. I remember seeing a reviewer mention a rechargeable USB-C option. That would be awesome and why Sony hasn’t thought of that blows my mind. TL;DR - have a lot of double A batteries or get rechargeable ones and you’ll be fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - Playstation Media Remote - PlayVital Glow in Dark Green Silicone Protective Remote Case for ps5 Media Remote Cover, Ergonomic Design Full Body Protector Skin for ps5 Remote Control - PS5/Slim/Pro Stand and Cooling Station with LED Controller Charging Station for PlayStation 5 Console, Controller Charger, Cooling Stand, PS5/Slim/Pro Accessories Kit with 3 Level Cooler Fan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/227929077-playstation-media-remote](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/227929077-playstation-media-remote) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
