    I read some bad reviews on this specific controller but for the price I wanted to give it a try. To my surprise I love it. Love the glowing lights. My son and his neighbor were fighting over who get to use the controller. Easy to set up. Downside is you can't charge the controller like the previous version and also you have to manually power on the PS3 before u can use the controller. Unlike the original controller u press power and turns on PS3. Not a big flow but need to walk up to my PS3 to power on. Pro: easy to set up and love the glow Con: need to manually power on PS3 and can't charge controller. Have to just replace battery.

    Great controller overall. It's clear, lights up and has a great feel. Minor issues: 1. You can't charge it with the base station and 2. You can't turn the system off via the controller.

    Very good quality. Especially at the price I paid, $10. Just wish it had a rechargeable battery. But then again.... The price.

    This is so much better than paying $50 for a dual-shock controller. Its a little big but its cheap $19.99 and its wireless.

    Kids needed two more controllers to play a game for 4 people and I only had two controllers. I bought these two controllers which was noted as 19.99 but rang up as 29.99. Best Buy quickly made the change and my kids use these controllers before the Playstation 3 wireless ones. The only drawback is they run on batteries and a wireless connection, so if batteries run out, or if the wireless connection is loss, you're stuck.

    Was nervous at first with it taking batteries but no problem as of yet and it was easy to sync to the ps3. Cheaper than buying ps3 controllers and even has lights on it. Kids love it .

    Haven't really had any problems using it on PC. The light up is nice, but I turned it off. It's a little small, and the buttons feel alright. Picked it up cheap, and I'm happy overall!

    I bought this controller because my kids keep breaking the more expensive ones. They think it's great and love that it lights up. Only complaint is that I can only use 2 at time because Sony/PS3 only has 2 ports so you have to have more expensive controllers with Bluetooth. (that more of a negative for Sony)

    I bought this for my son, but I have used it quite a bit myself. First the controller is wireless which is awesome, no wires to deal with. I'm not into gaming much, but even with my lack of knowledge, I had no problem getting the controller working with the Playstation3. I put new batteries in the controller when we got it. The controller gets used a lot and we have yet to change them. The battery usage / life seems to be good also. We do not keep the blue L.E.D.'s burning so that may help with the battery life. I can't say anything negative. This has been a great controller for our family.

    Works great, but not very durable.

    This controller was great while it was functioning properly. However, it seems to be very fragile, and it can break easily. I dropped it once, literally fell from the coffee table, and I started to have problems with the joystick. While it was my fault for dropping it, I would expect much higher durability.

    This is a great controller. It feels solid and it has worked since the time I hooked it up. Just note there are 2 things that this controller cannot do that the Sony brand controllers can: 1. It cannot turn your system on 2. It does not have the motion sensors. While none of these features is a big deal, just be aware.

    I was very surprised by this product. i thought it as going to suck but it was a pleasant surprise and all, the batteries lasted a good amount of time, not as much as I would have liked, the the controller worked well. Be careful because switching the buttons can happen on accident

    LOVE THIS CONTROLLER. LOVE THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE JOYSTICKS LOCATED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE ORIGINAL PS3 CONTROLLER BECAUSE IT'S EASIER ON MY THUMB MUSCLES. LOVE THE LIGHT UP FEATURE ALTHOUGH I DONT USE IT VERY MUCH AND I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH IT DRAINS THE BATTERY.

    It's a good budget controller for the PS3. It works, and it lights up in three separate modes (off, on, or flashing when the controller vibrates). It's blue and does not have options for other colors. It's really nothing special but it works. Also it was cheap.
