Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Several problems with this. First off, this is the official remote, but it's not a Sony product. It's licensed. The build quality is less than the old PS3 remote. It's skinnier, lighter, and less comfortable. The texture on the plastic is not the same as on the controllers. The buttons are tiny. Second, the number keys don't work in PS4 mode. So if you have an app like Plex where you need to enter a PIN, you have to do that with the arrow keys.... so everybody can see your pin while you're typing it in. Third, it's short on buttons. No L1,2,3 or R1,2,3, etc. So if you have an app that isn't specifically programmed to respond to a remote's FF/RW buttons, but uses L2 and R2 instead, you have to go back to the controller. Fourth, it has a volume punch through feature, but it only works with the "TV" mode. So it will send the volume keys to your TV in PS4 mode, but you can't make it send the volume to AMP or CBL. So if you have any sort of home theater setup and your audio doesn't go through your TV, you're plain out of luck. Lastly, it didn't come with batteries.
