Review on Bluetooth Enabled Remote Control Playstation 4 by Maria Hanson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Updated review 18 months later

Original review: As another reviewer said, the keys are very close together in the center, but once you get used to the alignment the user should be fine. The backlight would have been nice too for $24.99, but it eliminates the need to use a PS4 controller for playback. The pairing is perfect and instant, the range is excellent and the response time is very fast. It's not perfect, but it definitely serves its purpose and gets the job done. UPDATED February 27, 2019: So I had to buy another one of these remotes in late September/early October 2018. I bought the original in August 2018. In 2017 it stopped working and I thought it was just an accident, maybe poor workmanship so I bought another one. While the original worked for about a year, the latest one literally stopped working and refused to respond as I type this review. This remote control didn't even last 6 full months. I originally endorsed this product thinking it would be a great PS4 accessory especially for people who use it for media, but now I have to say that this is a poorly made device and you shouldn't waste your money. It looks like I can't return Revain or send me a file for a replacement. January 29th would be the last day for that. interesting time. In any case, I'd like to recommend it because it's pretty useful when it works, but the potential downsides outweigh the usefulness and definitely don't make it worth the $25 price tag. Thank you for your attention, good luck in finding a reliable remote control. Sony, please make a legally licensed PS4 remote similar to the original PS3 remote!
