PS3 controller
At first I was really happy with this product , I got it for my son for Christmas. it was priced cheap and was here in time for christmas..... But after my son started to use the controller, it has already fell apart and broke...... the thumb controllers will not work at all,,,,,, so overall was a total waste of money.
Please, I beg you to reconsider buying this!
This is the single worst controller I have ever used. First off, it's so light and cheap in your hands that it feels like it will break. The cord is so painfully short that you nearly have to sit with the system in your lap (it's maybe 18 inches long; shorter than the recharge cable for the system). The buttons don't visibly appear to stick, but their functions inside do. When you press a button while playing a game, there's a fair chance that it will stick and your character will keep doing the pressed action, like jumping (for a face button) or turning (for one of the joysticks). If you press more than one button at a time, the controller barely seems capable of handling multiple functions and one of them just might not work. I was playing Trine and about 80% of the time I couldn't jump or move at the same time. I had to choose one or the other! Also, sometimes it would seemingly lose it's connection to the PS3 even with the cord plugged completely in; it would just lose the signal. I know it's not the PS3, because I just bought it brand new a week and a half ago and the Dualshock 3 that came with it and the second Dualshock 3 that I bought work like a dream. I purchased this so I could have a third controller without shelling out $50 like I did for the second one, but no. No. This piece of junk isn't even worth $0.99. At least with $0.99 you could buy a burrito at Taco Bell and that would assuredly be the better value. Trust me when I say that you're better off with no controllers than with this one. It's a huge waste of money and will only serve to infuriate you. I am seriously going to look into some quality control issues on Amazon to see if you can get products banned, because this -should NOT- be on the market. It may as well be considered theft.
WTF was i thinking?!
The one time I make a purchase without 1st reading reviews, and it really bit me in the ass. Can't remember the last I was so disappointed in an amazon purchase. Of course, the obvious complaint about the controller is the lack of the PS button, but it also plays stiff as hell!!! You practically fracture your thumbs trying to use the thing effectively. I'd love to have been able to send the thing right back, but I let my temper get the best of me and ended up shattering the thing in frustration... I guess it's really my own fault for neglecting to read reviews, and being blinded by the cheap price. damn though, times are hard!!! I guess the moral of the story is, if something looks to good to be true...well, you know the rest.
Not bad at all!
I bought this wired controller a few months ago and have had very little problems. I have just found that I need to have it plugged into my ps3 before i start it up or else it will not function correctly, but considering it is not a sony product, I do not see this has a major pitfall. Other than that, it has worked just as well as my wireless ps3 controller during gameplay.
This controller DOES NOT WORK!
Although this controller is advertised as a "PS3" Wired Controller, it arrives as a "P3" controller, designed for "P3 Games," whatever those are. Bottom line: It DID NOT WORK with my Playstation 3. The instructions are lousy and unhelpful. I sent it back after a frustrating day of trying to get it to work and bought the Sony-branded controller. It's just not worth the trouble. It's a bad sign for your product when one of Amazon's suggested tags for the item is "garbage." On the upside, Amazon's return policy is fabulous!
