🎮 PDP Gaming Cloud Media Remote Control: Bluetooth Enabled for Playstation 4 and TV Review

09 Nov 18 update. The battery is junk. The two AAA batteries I used last three weeks and three days. Pretty rubbish for a remote when normal remotes last 6 months to a year. Of course I understand that it uses Bluetooth instead of IR. For now it's pretty reliable for what I need. Unfortunately, battery life can be terrible. I've been using it for two weeks and the battery icon has already shrunk to two bars. Also the volume button doesn't work with my Sony TV and Sony Soundbar setup. Kind of…

This is a great remote control for PS4 and TVs connected to it. However, the remote does have a few flaws and here's a fix for one that other reviews have mentioned. After much searching and troubleshooting, I found that when the remote stops giving control on PS4, you need to unplug it instead of fixing the remote. I had to search the internet for instructions on how to do this, but I was able to do it. Aside from one technical glitch, the remote works decently, which is why I'm leaving my…

Batteries not included so I had to deduct a star for that. Likewise! I see this problem often and here is how to fix it. Yes, the remote does not adjust the volume. But this is only because at the first stage of pairing, the remote is connected and that's it. You need to download the remote PDP app from the PSN store. You can then scan to connect the remote to control the TV with the power button and the volume works too. I received a remote control to recognize and control my Playstation 3D…

This is a big improvement over the first option available for PS4. But the buttons are cumbersome. I never got around to using it without looking at it. About a year later it just stopped working. The TV controls work all the time (power and volume) but as soon as you turn on the PS4 the PS4 controls work for about 10 seconds and then stop. If you take out and replace the battery, it will work for another 10 seconds. Even with new batteries. It's just frustrating. Why can't Sony just make a…

This remote is similar to the one designed by Sony, with the same bottom structure as the DualShock 4 and convenient front buttons that work as expected for menu control and app control, but the buttons don't work in games that I tried, it doesn't work. It even has an IR blaster for TV control, allowing you to adjust the TV volume, turn the device on/off and select the input. I haven't been able to find a way to use this to control my Edifier speakers, but there might be a way if any of the…

Okay, first things first; it is NOT "difficult" to set up. Just follow the instructions. it's incredibly easy. People give low ratings because they can't set it up properly. There is a special place in the afterlife for people like you. Now for the actual review: I've been looking for something like this for a long time. My TV's remote controlled RELATIVELY some of the basic functions of my PS4, and I've come to terms with that; But after connecting my computer to my TV, I lost that…

While the build quality may seem a little below average compared to the last attempt at remote media access, this remote is at least serviceable. The original version of the stick from a few years ago still works perfectly, but it looks cheap and is cluttered with useless buttons. The cloud remote allows you to control the TV (sound, power, input) which the last media remote could not. I have 3 complaints about the new cloud remote: 1) There is no stop button, only pause. Most of us use PS4 to…
