PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Black)

..my previous outlook on this controller is at the very bottom. this is part 2,notice the difference in paint quality, lets get on with this. ..well well... it has been a sojourn. it has been an oddessy mixed with knotted veins on the forhead and rewards nary so valuable, with this controller. at last for the past two days since the accessories arrived ive been working with this controller;charge/play cable,blue tooth dongles, and wireless keypad all together. for what its worth.. despite the small wear-and-tear i can see on the wireless ps3 device, its in good working condition-ill just state to the court before going on that it would not have survived if i had owned this at age 10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/or 22- and everything works well.. that said.. the illusion that it or parts of it dont work, is mind boggling. for the last couple weeks as ive tested this..feww[...] i came..THIS 99%/99% close, to asking for a refund for the controller, and then subsequently asking for a refund for the wireless keypad, dongles and wire, as i was sure this had become a wasted time and money fiasco because that was the way it was. ..but.. if you have the will, and the patience, not to reach for the steel bat nexr to you in your room you feel so very much like bringing right down on this controller with all your might-keep this in mind; ..there is, if at all, very little being done for this kind of hardware. thats the price of an entity like sony who sold every fiber of themselves to the fiery down below for as much wealth as possible.and WHAT IS being done, is being worked on by third party people(and what a party, let me tell you) who without the massive rebobinar funds like sony unfortunatly has, work on the existing software slooooowly. motion joy.. xpadder... if you have these.. they are not bugged. they are not glitched(most of the time).. they are full of quirks. yet they are like the cells powering your body. you cant run this controller without them. it is an obstacle with these programs combined with this hardware-its impossible without them. patience. if you should ever come across this difficult terrain as i have and conquered, patitience will prevent you oh buyer from flinging every part of this things hardware back at its sellers from far across every part of the world. the wireless ps3 controller sold here-at least the one i got- is by no means a fraud. a fake. a sham. nah(although it does seem like they get these from the used asian goodwill store, dont fret though) as someone who uses this controller soley for the computer, the dongles cable and wireless keypad ive purchased all work. on a pc laptop. i will be posting similar reviews in all the seperate components i bought particularly, which you can see under my name, as they all work for this wireless ps3 controller.when using this with a pc, you need motion joy and xpadder which will work.(avoid the updates. yove been warned about that now) old republic here i come. five star rating. making the bottom review old and void. end communcation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [..going to write another review but the following account of woe is as follows. please read this very thoroughly and carefully to understand the 1 star rating. on the date of writing this review i joyously ripped open my weak and silly metal mail box to find what ive been waiting for, for days-the ps3 wireless controller. awsome, no? i take it back to my house, thinking of playing alone in the dark and soon old republic with this, and oh the memories that will come. i open the package, pull out the controller- and air follows after. um.. theres.. nothing to connect it to the computer. n.o.t.h.i.n.g. air. zip. nata. squat. ralvmungio. so..why bother sending the ps3 controller..if you never had anything to connect it to...? a usb piece thing?... a cable perhaps..? it makes the very thought of the saying ''until tommorow'',all the more tickly, in my fist. theres..nothing but the controller in the bag. i could raise an ant farm in there and theyd never find anything but the air that comes after they open the bottom. heres how it goes. until i find that cable-usb whatever you use to connect a ps3 wireless controller to a pc or playstation 3-whatever- my rating for this product is 1%, and i suggest to not buy it. however should i find whatever you need(a..cable? its..wireless. wireless. wheres the usb part. i bought this..because its supposed to be WIRELESS!!!!!!!) to make this work.. ill raise that to a 5 star restaurant rating. until then.. consider this my current evalutation until the last part of this god forsaken story comes to a close the way it was meant to be. ..but seriously. dont off-handedly include anything about a usb cable unless its included. jesus crist.. (when i get the last part whatever it may be, the second review makes this one ineffective at that point, so read this very carefully] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product: Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller, by Sony. Rating: 4 1/2 stars LIKES: * QUALITY: In my experience, when it comes to controllers for the PS3, you pretty much get what you pay for. Over the years, I've owned a PS1, a PS2, and a PS3, and at various times I've tried 3rd party controllers in an attempt to add multiplayer capability at a more reasonable price ... and unfortunately, I've rarely been happy. As long as you can afford it, this seems to be the best controller you can get for the PS3 ... it has the best balance of heft, solid construction, good tactile resistance in the buttons and thumbsticks, excellent durability, good vibration feel, good communication range, reasonably fast charge time (2.5 hrs or less), and a long-lived battery. NITS: * Price: Authentic Sony controllers are expensive ... but as mentioned above, you generally get what you pay for. * Charging Cord not included: You'd think that in purchasing a spare/replacement controller that it would come with a charging cord, right ? Nope. Sony deliberately omits it, and instead instructs customers to "use the one that comes with your PS3". I recently purchased a charging station to eliminate that bottleneck ... which was probably Sony's goal in witholding charging cords from their spare controllers. * Minor design issues: (a) when putting the controller down during active play, there's an occasional tendency for one of the L2/R2 buttons to activate if you're not gentle. A pair of small support feet on the front of the controller, placed just behind and below those 2 buttons, would solve that. (b) I wish the charging cord connector port was indented slightly, to be self-guiding, to make connections faster and more eyes-free. (c) L3 & R3 are too easily unintentionally activated while using the sticks for movement in many games ... case in point is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where you FREQUENTLY end up squatting in mid-combat, while maneuvering during a melee, which is very frustrating. They need to increase the activation pressure for L3/R3 slightly in order to solve that. Bottom line: I've tried several other brands, and even though the Sony controller is the most expensive among them, it's also the best. Highly Recommended.

I'm always skeptical when buying replacement parts for a console, and was dreading buying a second PS3 controller, due to the highly sensitive SIXAXIS function and the joysticks. So, after a looooong deliberation and not willing to fork over $90 at a store, I purchased this one as it seemed reputable and fairly priced. When it arrived, I put it through the paces by trialing it with Lair, which is predominantly SIXAXIS controlled, and was extremely impressed with the responsiveness. It also passed the Heavy Rain challenge - which is joystick-sensitive reliant - so I really can't fault the controller as a whole. My original controller (OC) came from China, and this controller (TC) was manufactured in Canada, and while they both play identically, there are some cosmetic differences between the 2. The main differences being: *High gloss finish on OC, except on joysticks and R1/R2/L1/L2 buttons -- Matte finish on TC, including all buttons. *OC is slightly heavier, and seems to have additional weighting in the hand grips -- TC is center-weighted and gives a lighter feel. *R2/L2 & R3/L3 on TC are less brush-sensitive and have a more definitive "click" (this can be beneficial or detrimental depending on what game you're playing). *OC and TC both turn on at around 11 seconds at system start-up, but OC takes about 3 seconds when activating as second controller, whereby TC only takes 1 second. I haven't opened both controllers to compare the guts of them but the apparent differences are so negligible, I wouldn't even bother. I do swap controllers depending on the style of game I'm playing, and will use TC for games that require more sensitive or specific button control, like Mortal Kombat, Lair or Heavy Rain, but also know I can rely on it for any game when my OC runs flat! Top-notch product.

First off I have to say those looking at other controllers online seeing them for 20 dollars or less, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING THEM! Though some may look very similar to real brand name, these knockoffs are cheap Chinese creations that often perform only as good as their quality allows; which is not much. I would recommend that you put the extra cash into getting this official ps3 controller. It performs great, the battery is long lived, at around 4-6 hours of play (and I play alot), the weight is little hefty but feels good in your hands. Just make sure you already have a usb charging cable for them, or get one when you buy it. I also like the feature if you hold down the PS button with a already connected controller, it will power on the ps3 if it is off. Also the wireless version is worth it, no wires gives you so much freedom to move where you want, how you want, and no worrying about pulling out cords accidently or tripping over them (I used to always do this with my ps2 lol). Overall I highly recommend this controller over any others, worth every penny.

I, like many of you, have gone through countless controllers from numerous versions of consoles over the years. Buttons fail, batteries die, and the controller becomes unusable. Thankfully, this PS3 controller was built a bit better than those older controllers. I've had these two controllers for well over 4 years now and everything still works fine. Battery charge is still acceptable (I use the Energizer two-remote charger, also located here on Amazon) and doesn't seem to drain very fast. The buttons and analog sticks are still tight and function as expected. Add to the fact that this remote works through Bluetooth and you have a fairly nice package. No wires to fuss with and nothing to fray (or gnawed on by your pet). The controller itself, however, isn't the most comfortable over long periods of time. Yes, it is better than the big and bulky XBOX controller - sorry for you XBOX controller fans - that thing is the size of a brick. This controller, however, slowly becomes uncomfortable as you hold it. I find myself shaking one hand or the other out during gameplay as my fingers begin to tense up. I'm not saying it is a bad design - just not ergonomic for the long gaming sessions. I'm not sure how they could make it better - but I am holding out hope that the PS4 controller is better to hold for extended periods. Overall, I'd recommend this remote vs some of the cheaper 3rd party remotes, as it works and works well without any issue. I've not always said that in the past for other gaming consoles (I have owned numerous 3rd party remotes, as the one released with the gaming console was inferior) but can say that Sony came up with a reliable and useful remote that isn't designed to fail after some use. That being said - these are a bit more expensive than 3rd party remotes, but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for.

HOW2 USE PS4 CNTRL WITH BLUTTH TO PS3 GUIDE... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work) YEAH... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work), the PS4 controller lasts much longer, is more solid and just plays much better than the Sony PS3 Controller. So, the last 2 of the Official Sony PS3 Controllers lasted about a month before they started dropping from connection and powering off constantly on their own and the joysticks go sloppy (it works, but just useless, aiming is lost)! The one that came with my PS3 barely lasted a year before it completely fell apart! I'm now using a PS4 controller (which I got over a year ago and it still feels very good), which is far superior, it feels much better, I feel I have much more control, though I'd definitely do some design changes if this were my product to make it much better, like very short joy stick stems (maybe no stem at all) and options to disable buttons and etc.... Anyway.... The PS4 controller is much better, though with a Sony PS3 Playstation (that's right, I'm using it with my PS3 - THREE).... the vibrate doesn't work (I don't really miss that though) and the Sony Playstation (PS) button doesn't work.... I only play Battlefield 4 on my PS3, so no big deal, you can't quit out of BattleField 4 with the PS4 controller, you have to power off and power on the PS3, or use a PS3 controller to quit games (you can use a PS3 controller that only the PS button works, like an old broken one... which is what I do). So if you want to quit out of BF4 and want to use YouTube, or Netflix, you have to power off, or use a PS3 controller and it's PS button. HERE'S HOW TO CONNECT A PS4 CONTROLLER AS WIRELESS BLUETOOTH TO A SONY PLAYSTATION PS3 1) Using a PS3 Controller (or other means) POWER UP YOUR PS3 (PS buttons powers up the PS3, it does not have to be plugged into PS3, you can power up wirelessly with bluetooth) and at the PS3 main menu, scroll over left to SETTINGS. 2) scroll down to ACCESSORY SETTINGS 3) scroll down to MANAGE BLUETOOTH DEVICES 4) scroll down to REGISTER NEW DEVICE and hit ENTER (X) 5) a window will open on the PS3 that says START SCANNING, hit ENTER (X), a SCANNING PLEASE WAIT sign is displayed 5) on the PS4 Controller hold down the SHARE + PS BUTTON until the front large flat light starts to flash quickly (you need to hold both buttons for a while, like 3 to 5, maybe even 10 seconds), it should connect almost immediately and display on the PS3 - WIRELESS CONTROLLER once it's found your PS4 controller. 6) on the PS3 Controller hit ENTER (X), it should display REGISTER COMPLETE and that's it! NOW YOU CAN USE EITHER CONTROLLER TO WIRELESSLY CONTROL YOUR PS3 (though on the PS4, the PS Button and Vibrate don't work... not big deal, right?). That's about it!

Works perfectly, love it, and will probably order another one soon.

Controller assolutamente originale,arriva ben imballato e nello scatolo azzurro marchiato Sony! Si nota che è l'originale già dal peso che è identico a quello che trovai nella PS3 e inoltre i comandi sono fatti allo stesso modo e rispondono immediatamente non appena si vanno ad usare,l'ho già provato su alcuni titoli sparatutto. Anche la batteria funziona benissimo,ho utilizzato il cavo usb del vecchio controller e la carica è durata all'incirca 130 minuti,esattamente come l'originale! (solitamente dura 2 ore esatte,ma perchè spesso mettevo a caricare il vecchio controller non appena appariva il messaggio di inserire l'usb e quindi c'era già quel 10-15% di carica). Come ha già anticipato qualcuno,le 2 levette analogiche in effetti sono un po rigide da muovere,ma secondo me solo perchè il controller è nuovo,man mano che verranno usate tenderanno ad ammorbidirsi un po. Se può essere d'aiuto per altri utenti io ho acquistato il controller venduto da GOLDEALS e spedito da Amazon,quindi se qualcuno ha ricevuto un fake molto probabilmente dipende dal venditore,perchè il mio è l'originale. L'unica pecca a mio avviso è il prezzo,perchè comunque la PS3 sta da oltre 10 anni e il controller viene venduto a prezzo pieno,ma non avevo altra scelta in quanto in negozio è sempre più difficile trovare i modelli originali. Spedizione rapidissima nonostante il venditore straniero,incredibile!

Grand habitué du dual shock, je n'ai que du bon à dire sur la manette officielle Sony. Petites surprises quand même en déballant le produit : - la manette est plus légère que les précédentes versions. On sent moins son poids en main. Selon que vous appréciez les manettes légères ou pas, vous préfèrerez cette version allégée ou pas. Moi j'ai mis un peu de mal à m'y faire. - le corps est en plastique très légèrement texturé, et non lisse comme les modèles précédents. Je trouve l'idée moyenne, dans la mesure où la texture n'est pas suffisante pour offrir un vrai caractère anti-dérappant. Avec un revêtement en caoutchouc ou une texture plus marquée, ça aurait été mieux. En l'état, ça ne fait que rendre le contact un peu granuleux, ce que je n'aime pas particulièrement. Heureusement c'est très léger, on finit par s'y faire.

他のレビューされている方も指摘しているとおり、正規品ではありません。また、Amazonからの垢BANを避ける為に「商品をお受け取り後、万が一商品の不備・疑問点等ございましたら評価をされる前に当メールにご返信下さいませ。」などとメールされてきます。本当に許せない!!!(怒)

I was anxious for years not knowing why my game was glitching (Franklin in GTA 5 not being able to drive a car, his cell always coming out, walking slowly (slow motion), my PS3 player or my DVD game itself, well it was the joystick! The other 2 I had were making a rattling sound when shaken so they were both broken (being dropped/thrown against the wall countless times, yes I have anger issues, I hate myself for that and I am trying not to get mad when I play GT5 now, a little older at 54). I enjoy playing with just Franklin listening to his rap in a stolen car, smoking his bong , driving mad, hitting pedestrians, stealing their $, going in the gun shop and kill all the cops until I run out of bullets and get shot. Thx Amazon and the seller who sold me the joystick, I deprived myself of playing for so long, the joystick is on top of my piano (I practiced classical for hours, time 2 play GTA 5 !
