Limited functionality

Great idea but the functionality falls short for something even this affordable.



I use my PS4 for media more than gaming so i was looking for a cheap remote to navigate Netflix and the media player without draining my game controller battery. First off the remote does not turn on the PS4 so you have to turn on your regular game controller anyway. Second, the remote has all the right buttons (or so you would think) but hardly any of them work for my applications. I cannot use it to exit Netflix and choose something from the home menu for example. Basically it's only use for me is to pause and un-pause shows.



PROS: Affordable and can be used to pause and un-pause media.



CONS: Just not as functional as the official remote. Even at this price it should be able to exit an application and select a new one.
