" ... We use it now just to turn on the tv and control the volume. ... "
" ... Terrible design as obviously the PS4 has no volume, so why wouldn't the volume buttons remain dedicated to the TV? ... "
" ... Tried holding share and PS buttons . ... "
" ... Then you have to switch between PS and TV inputs to change volume. ... "
" ... Unfortunately, if you're a half hour into your show and want to refill your popcorn you can't just hit the pause button. ... You have to either hit the PS4 input button at the top or the PS button in the middle which both kick you out of whatever it is that you are watching. ... Second, There are no R1, R2, R3 or L1, L2, L3 buttons on the remote. ... For most operations this doesn't matter but there are a few programs which use those buttons. ... "
" ... It also does not have the R1, R2, L1, and L2 button features. ... "
" ... Also don't like that the volume buttons don't work on PS4 mode. ... "
" ... On the PS3 remote, I could simply hit any button, pause, for example, and if it had disconnected, it would reconnect and then send the pause. ... If it's disconnected, it won't reconnect simply because you hit a pause button. ... It requires you to hit the "PS4" device selection button first to get it to reconnect. ... I use the pause button as an example because it's a very common use case--the phone or doorbell rings, or you hear something in the background and you want to silence the show you're watching NOW. ... But you hit pause, nothing happens, then go through the reconnect sequence and it can take over 10s to do what you wanted. ... "

" ... It's a crappy remote that serves almost no purpose it's supposed to serve as in controlling the ps4. ... "
" ... Not a great remote. ... "
" ... Second, There are no R1, R2, R3 or L1, L2, L3 buttons on the remote. ... "
" ... But in order to do this, the remote has to "stay connected" and this requires maintaining a signal, which takes power unlike an IR remote, which simply has to send a code after you press a button. ... But this is where the PS4 remote fails over the PS3's ... On the PS3 remote, I could simply hit any button, pause, for example, and if it had disconnected, it would reconnect and then send the pause. ... The amount of fumbling around with the remote that this causes is extremely annoying. ... "
" ... This remote is the worse, the function keys don't really work, I have to use it in conjunction with the controller. ... "
" ... Worst remote ever! ... "
