Customer Reviews

You get what you pay for a cheap wired controller
 

I dont recommened buy this controller. When I got it I think it was
style programmed to factory default so I could use all of the buttons expect the PS button. Also I need to keep its cord plugged into the ps3 to use it because the PS button does not connect it to the PS3. The controller I got you could disconnect the the mini usb end from the controller as all wireless controllers, but as I said you would not be able to connect it to the ps3.

the controller is alright the buttons are clunky and the joy sticks are hard, they get stuck. but i guess you get what you pay for.

ok, but not perfect
 

This contoller only works on simpler games (star wars republic hero is one) but the more complex games like Ghost Recon and Final Fantasy, it is more glitchy on. The game just doesn't read the signals right and it isn't really worth playing. We find it a nice option for our children who want to play and they know the difference between a control that is plugged in and one that is not :) And it is inexpensive, so we don't have to worry about them breaking a controller that costs a bunch. Be careful what you are buying it for, since you really won't know what games it will work on until you try it.

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.
