I’m not sure if this would ever work, but in theory it seems doable and cheap!

Has any 1 every done such a “hack”?
They’re functionality as a remote itself, actually from all ps4 remotes have been terrible. Makes their pcbs suspect but worth tge effort if you happen to have one.
Maybe if Sony releases their own.
ordered one was $9 with shipping so i’ll give it a try
Is it radio frequency or Infra red?
Never mind - Bluetooth
Does it work outside of the DVD/Bluray player portion of the Console and does it work with games?
I’ll tell ya when I get one =) “Estimated delivery May 18, 2015 - Jun 11, 2015”
New assembly of the Media Remote for PS4 Game accessories
ⅠIntroduction
This product adopts Bluetooth 3.0 technology. When ps4 console is connected with the remote, you can touch the key on the remote to control ps4 in host DVD disc. You can perform fast forward, rewind, play, pause, HOME, OPTION, TOP MENU, up, down, left, right direction key functions. The fastest distance is up to 10 meters. You don’t need to worry about control it. You just need to aim at the console to avoid some problem of the infrared remote control.
The remote panel adopts inner screen printing. No matter how long you use, the pattern and the symbol will never fade. Just insert two AAA 1.5V batteries to supply power. This product has secondary connection function, which is really convenient for use next time.
Ⅱ Feature
This product adopts Bluetooth 3.0 technology, which is stable and reliable.
The buttons adopt PVC material, with inner screen printing technology. No matter how long you use, the pattern and the symbol will never fade.
Direct remote control distance is up to 10 meters.
The remote will fall in sleep automatically when you don’t use it for 10 minutes. In dormant state, you can press the remote power key to wake it up, then it will connect to PS4 console automatically.
Interesting idea, could be a game changer if it works.
I highly doubt it
It definitely not be tournament legal, Also I see no R1, R2, L1 & L2 buttons.
As a TV remote two AAA batteries is not bad but as a PCB to a game controller I see the batteries dying pretty quickly.
Yeah but what if someone somehow guts the chip off it or taps into it just to get around the 8 minute timeout thing? I’m thinking optimistically here lol.
What 8 minuet time out? We are not talking about the PS360+.
Doesn’t the 8 minute timeout on any of the faked PS4 compatibility things happen because they need to use a Bluetooth check? Am I crazy or did I hear rumors of Akishop potentially adding in a Bluetooth chip to the PS360+ to give it that functionality.
Using a BT remote for that is pointless, we already have things that can get past the timeout, but they need to have a DS4 board connected as use the BlueTooth signal from that. The advantage of these however is that the DS4 can be connected to by USB, which simplifies the process. With the remotes, the only way to talk to them is via BlueTooth.
