Questions & Answers

Are you able to use it with PS Vue?

For the past month, I've been using it to watch PS Vue, so it definitely works. You will have no problems using the buttons and functions.

How does it work with Netflix?

Yes, I agree! I've been using it for years with Netflix, Amazon, etc. It's the cheapest and most efficient way to watch Netflix, and you can still use it on all the other platforms. Directly connected to the TV was my choice. The WiFi connection will work if the band width is enough. Since I do not have more than six, I use direct line equipment. I have two units and I find them to be very effective.

To sync the new remote with your PS3, do you need a functioning controller?

There's no direct connection for the PS3 it picks it up on an exclusive

It is necessary to have a PS3 remote
5/5

Like this controller has been on my wishlist for a very long time. As part of my pre-school program, I use the PS3 that is connected to the TV We can stream Netflix and Amazon video for three girls and play Blueray movies for them in the master suite. This was one of the things I hated about the PS3. In the event that the girls touched the controller in any way, the movie would pause, fast forward, or do something I didn't understand. Even getting wrapped in one of their blankets caused the controller to go batshit crazy. The experience was horrible to me. one day we got a remote like this for the PS4 and I realized I couldn't live without them and I had to get one for my daughter's The remote was easy to set up, easy to use, and included a great deal of functionality that makes watching streaming videos and blueray content on a PS3 There will be no more remote mishaps that send the girls into a tizzy when they accidentally hit it during their favorite scenes in Disney's Frozen or Trolls. The player will no longer have to panic while trying to find the controller in the chaos created by tangled blankets. I've been using it perfectly so far, and it has made life easier when it comes to girls' entertainment time. I can't speak to durability as I haven't had it for too long, but if I do run into any issues I'll let you know.

Next time I will likely clean it before using it
3/5

I bought a used remote, so no need to buy a new one if a used one will do. As a used item I do not mind the scratches or dings, as I fully understand that they are normal. In any case. Ideally, the seller would have cleaned it up with some isopropyl alcohol if he had taken an extra 3 minutes. It has a yuckiness to If you do it again, just make sure you clean it up, someone is paying. However, just because they aren't able to see it until after they have paid for it doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention.

This remote is a great one for the In order to use the PS button function on a PS3, I had to purchase this remote after noticing that my PS4 controllers are incompatible when connected to my In the past, this prevented us from being able to restart games or go back to the home screen, as well as changing discs of PS1 titles The build of this controller feels a bit cheap, but apparently it is not likely to break anytime Considering the type of use this remote is typically put to, it shouldn't be an issue
4/5

I will briefly highlight some pros and cons that stand out to me.

Pros Please note - A simple to use set up*br A simple and easy to use interface - It's light weight, but it has a few disadvantages A lack of additional features. The only way to operate the PS3 using a single remote so that you don't have to use more remotes - It would be more affordable if you got what you paid for
- There is an absence of a high-quality build in this remote

At this point, I would recommend it to anyone who wants solely Because it is not compatible with the PS4 or whatever may follow, this is a limited system. In summary, I believe this is a useful tool and would buy it Depending on your schedule, you might be able to find prime day or black Friday deals.

It's a good remote, and I use it for everything
4/5

It has one flaw, which is why I only gave it four instead of five stars. The "start" button, which is the main control you use for virtually everything on the remote, is very large. The problem with this is that, while it is easy to find, it is also large enough that, if you lean over it, you could hit it accidentally, which would pause your movie. A drop hits the floor, and there is silence. The PS3 button is tiny and not at all obvious, plus it is surrounded by a giant "start" button. Although it comes with two design flaws, it's a good product. I haven't had any problems with the quality. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and the batteries it comes with are good. So far, I have had no issues with any of the programs I use on my PS3.

It was exactly what I expected
4/5

I needed it as a replacement for one that broke. It is exactly what was described. As I knew exactly what I was getting, I have no complaints. Even if it isn't the cheapest (at the very same price point it is not), it should at the very least be cheaper than a new PS4 Remote Control.

I like this remote very much
5/5

It is very nice to have another remote for my PS3. I am happy to have been able to get it. Setting up the system is easy. I was impressed with how well it was *BD* I used to have one of those Sony PS3 universal remotes, but it stopped working. Unlike your TV or cable box, your PS3 will not be controlled by the new remote, but it should work great with it. A second thing I like is the shape of it. The buttons are easier to reach one-handed because it's thicker than my old remote and shorter than my old remote.
