This was a tentative purchase as my previous experience of remotes has been hit and miss. However, great product once programmed absolutely fine. Unless it goes to sleep soil yo want to pause etc you need to press PS4 button first but don't press it assuming it has gone to sleep or chaos!! However, i think that is more about the PS4 than the remote. Great buy, still working, great seller too.

(Near) perfect replacement for the DualShock
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2018
Verified Purchase
This remote fits very nicely in one's hand, and is even ergonomically better than the old Sony PS3 remote. The buttons I use most often are easier to access than on the old one, and compared with the DualShock 4, it can be used with only one hand, with is one of the reasons I wanted to buy this product.
The other reason is that the shoulder buttons on the DualShock have the bad habit to fast forward or to rewind, depending on how I put it back on the couch or table after using it. Clearly, this won't be happening with the pdp remote.
Finally, the fact that the remote powers down on its own after a while is more comfortable than manualy switching the DualShock off, in which case a special screen superimposes on the film or program you are watching. The DualShock can be set to power down after a while, but it will still lose charge and I'd rather have it fully charged when I want to play.
The only thing getting used to is that you have to push the PS button to reactivate the remote when it has powered down, and the lag is a bit long.
I haven't tried to synch the remote with my TV set, so I can't say anything about it yet.

All in all, I definitely recommend this product if you use your PS4 more as a BR/DVD player than as a gaming console.

Overall I'm pleased with this remote
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2017

This is high quality universal remote focused on PS4. The product works as intended but you have to read the manual a bit for pairing and device codes. It can genuinely replace your TV, amp and other remotes. The only small inconvenience is that, you need to press a button to switch between devices. I believe that is how it was designed. The remote has a power saving feature and goes off if don't use it for a certain time. As soon as you pick it and press any key it starts working almost instantly. I don't find this to be an inconvenience as other users have complained.
Also, if you press the PS4 button from device list or the large PS button is turns your PS4 on- you just have to keep it pressed a little longer.
Overall I'm pleased with this remote, it feels very sturdy and pleasant to use overall

Doesn't work well, broke after 8 months
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020
Verified Purchase
This remote was a disappointment initially, and then it stopped working completely.

I have two main complaints.

1) The play/pause/forward/rewind buttons are not supported by all video apps. They work in Netflix but not BBC iPlayer or All4. For apps where it's not supported you have to navigate around the on-screen buttons using the direction pad. I bought the controller to make it easier for the rest of my family to use the PS4 for video, and it failed miserably to do that.

2) The volume punch-through doesn't work properly. This feature means you can leave the controller in PS4 mode and still use it to control the TV volume. Except the volume control doesn't work unless you double-tap it repeatedly or double-tap-and-hold. This was another reason the controller failed to do the one job I bought it for.

And after all that, the direction pad broke after only 8 months. I can't even be bothered to return it because it was so bad.

PERFECT PS4 REMOTE

It works perfectly with the PS4. It's much better than the "official" remote available in Italy (and this is official too). The batteries last forever: I use it every day and after two months the PS4 indicates it is at full charge. You will not be disappointed.

Good but not great
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this controller 4 months ago so I have used it plenty since then. It was no trouble getting it to work initially and it continues to work, and run on the original batteries so that's good.

Where it falls down;
As noted in many other reviews, it is annoying that (after a sort period of inactivity) you need to hit the playstation button first to wake up the controller before you can perform whatever action you wish. Is it a deal breaker? No, but it happens so regularly that it becomes an ongoing irritation.

The bigger problem, from my point of view, is the inconsistency of the functionality between services. So the rewind button might simply skip back 10 seconds on Netflix, but on ��غ�� Prime the same button causes what you're watching to zoom backwards until you press play, on another service it skips back a chapter. It's really annoying as I watch things on different services and find myself constantly surprised at what is happening. (I rewind a lot to listen to dialogue I missed, or to a scene that was particularly good.)

Finally, the main buttons that I want (play, pause, rewind) are just a little too small and tightly packed together to be really distinguishable by my (perhaps too fat) fingers as I navigate them in the near-dark. I often find myself turning on a lamp so I can hit the playstation button so I can hit the rewind button (and then maybe the play button if it's zooming backwards). It's a lot of faff when this controller was meant to make things easier.

This review is sounding pretty negative but I am highlighting the weaknesses. For me, it is an improvement over the playstation controller whose functionality was not intuitive when it came to watching video, whose buttons could accidentally be pressed when it was set down, and whose battery was being drained due to my movie watching impacting on the following day's gameplay.

I was price-gouged when purchasing this, paying nearly £70. It was absolutely not worth that, but given the pandemic look-down, and my increased movie watching, I decided to just take the hit. In more normal times, do not pay anything over £30 for this, and only then if you are watching a lot of video on your playstation.

I bought the one for the PS3 and loved it. I was ready to buy the one for the PS4 but saw that it was getting bad reviews. I held off and sure enough, this one was released. It had better reviews so I took the plunge and it works great. Never had an issue with it.

Ottimo prodotto.
Pacco arrivato entro tre settimane, il prodotto soddisfa a pieno le mie aspettative.
Semplicissimo da abbinare alla PS4 e funziona a dovere molto comodo per usare Netflix, Youtube, Twich ecc...
Può essere collegato anche ad un Tv cosi da non usare vari telecomandi ma solo uno.
In definitiva molto soddisfatto anche se il prezzo un pò alto.

Thought I'd clear up a few misconceptions
Reviewed in the United States on 28 November 2016
Verified Purchase
Thought I’d clear up a few misconceptions floating around here.

1. This is officially licensed by Sony says it right on the box and it has an actual PS logo button, while being sold in the official PS blue box that the PS4 comes in. They wouldnt be able to use that if it wasnt an official Sony product. Its not manufactured by Sony but a lot of their extra items arent, its still up to their standards as an officially licensed product and being licensed ensures it is accepted by the Playstation and its "ecosystem".

2. The ONLY part of the remote that turns off after 30 minutes is the PS4 bluetooth functionality just like the Dualshock which makes sense since bluetooth would drain the battery. The IR is always on just like a regular remote for you to control your surround sound, cable box, and TV. So having to mute instantly is still there, or anything to do with anything other than your PS4 (you can also set it so the volume buttons only control your sound system every time no matter what setting is currently on). Pressing the PS button to wake up the remote isnt really an issue because even if the bluetooth part of the remote fell alseep pressing the big PS button in the middle instantly wakes up the remote AND instantly brings up the PS home screen just as if you would've pressed the PS button on the Dualshock. It works literally the same exact way.

3. For the Hulu app It says in the manual if some of the buttons do not work for some apps they might still work on other buttons on the remote and to expiriment. For the most part the X,O,triangle, square buttons all work like they would on a dualshock in most apps but on the Hulu app the function of O is relegated to the STOP button, right next to pause and play which work as intended as well. All of the functionality is still there none of it is lost. You can alternatively press the big PS4 button to pause and mute at the same time since pressing it instantly takes you to the PS4 home screen while immediately suspending/pausing any app (just like the dualshock would). Honestly I don't even use the X, O, square or triangle buttons though because it isnt needed with the regular enter and back buttons doing the same exact thing. It is your preference.

4. For programming and pairing issues in the back of the manual it says to use ALL codes while manual entering the code to find the one with the most functionality for whatever device it is you want to control. THEN you fill in whatever is left out by using the "teach" function. I have a now ancient but still amazing LG plasma (tech geeks know plasma is best ;) with old Sony surround sound system and the remotes manual has all the codes needed for full functionality for both of them (I badly needed something to change inputs). The easy "teach" function lets you customize it exactly how you like and add any missing features. This was important for setting it up as my main cable remote with all of its complex functions, I taught it the On Demand and DVR functions as well as the crucial Page Up/Page Down while using the guide which surprisingly didnt automatically work on the assigned buttons on the remote with my specific cable box. Luckily the teaching allowed me to add it though. Everything else had a button and worked without needing to teach, even smaller nuanced things like widgets. (NOTE: It took me a few times to successfully teach even though it flashed 3 times saying it worked but then nothing worked at all not even the normal functions, dont get scared what you have to do is re enter the code that you were using that worked for the device you were just controlling and all of your saved "teaches" will still be customized the way you left it, it just didnt register while teaching and bugged out a few times so just re enter the code in the manual again to go back to normal).

I think anyone having a problem probably just isnt programming it correctly (its quite easy once you understand how its designed).

5. My single biggest gripe is not every key is teachable, as the dedicated page up/page down buttons didnt work with the cable box. While the Channel up/down keys did the same thing they are too far down on the remote and is annoying to constantly shift your entire hand grip up and down an inch while browisng through the TV guide. So what I did to fix this was teach the page up/down functions to the yellow and blue soft keys so I only have to move my tumb up slightly from the enter and arrow keys instead of my entire hand. This is crucial to me and I would have returned it if there was no instant page up/ page down function. But like I said the teaching makes this a customizable remote. So it is only a small cosmetic difference, no functionality or convenience is lost. And there are about 7 or 8 programmable keys in all including ALL of the colored keys (that includes the 3 colored buttons at the very top of the remote NOT just the 4 middle colored soft keys that some people are saying). Once the muscle memory kicks in and you get used to it the smaller buttons arent an issue at all. I like the sleek look of the small buttons it shows off that you have a more advanced home theater system ;) The PS4 functionality makes it so much easier than picking up a DS4 to do anything other than play a game. I love the real PS4 buttons on the remote. This is a very well made and sleek looking remote. Love the colored soft keys and official PS keys. Good feel to it. I can now control my entire enterntainment complex with this single remote.

I came back to update this review after a few months of heavy use. I never had to reconnect, reprogram or do anything, it is still working flawlessly. I am baffled by the bad reviews I honestly think either the person is simply beyond being able to even program a remote, or they are by competitors. Some have legitimate problems that messaged me in the ��غ�� answers thing and I have found most issues are with those super cheap no name brand TVs (like even worse than Hisense).

Realmente muy bien . Tenía el de la ps3 y me dió un muy buen servicio usándolo para netflix y yomvi (movistar +) . Este es similar, quizás un punto por debajo del de Sony para ps3 (por algún pequeño detalle sin importancia) pero en conjunto funciona muy bien.

Muy recomendable para aquellos que anden hartos de recargar el mando de ps4 para ver tv o blurays cada dos por tres, y muy recomendable también para aquellos que esten hartos de ver como en plena reproducción de movistar+ si le das sin querer al r2 o l2 te avanza a velocidad rápida la reproducción.
