    I bought this to local multiplay and was not disappointed. The glow of the remote made it a hit with the family. The only snag, kill zone 3 has a task that requires you to tilt the remote, it does not work with the afterglow remote. Otherwise, great product

    It works great. I was hesitant to buy it, I thought there was a catch for the low price. Only drawback is I can't use it to turn the PlayStation on and off. But can't complain for the low price compared to other controllers.

    I never needed to buy an extra controller for the PS3 until my son was old enough to play Lego Dimensions. Normally a PC guy but that was not available. The controller works great and has vibration which is pretty cool. The great this is that this controller will work with my PC. Note, it uses 2 AA batteries. I am using Energizer rechargeable batteries.

    I have used this controller for a few months, with normal use. The batteries are still good. Although I keep the fancy blue LED lights turned off when possible, which probably helps. The controller works great, just like the original equipment. I really appreciate that it is wireless, and for a pretty good distance from the playstation.

    Bought this for my 11 year old son and now it's the only controller he will use. When his friends came over and used it, they asked their parents to buy them one. Again, a Great Controller!

    My kids purchased this afterglow controller and it has not given them any trouble. They use it almost every other day especially on the weekends since it is still summer vacation.

    good and irritating

    very heavy duty feeling, shock vibrations are great, but left toggle seems to go out very quickly and causes screen to keep panning...frustrating for call of duty. battery life is terrific...really the irritating con is in which the ease of the toggles wearing out. This is the 3rd one of these I have purchased and all have the same types of issues regardless of the users. I would recommend the after shock as number one and this one as an emergency stand in while the original is getting replaced.

    This is great for when you are playing in the dark

    This special Afterglow is great when you want to play in the dark, I feel that this special controller makes my gaming experience a little bit better. I think this would be great for first-person games, however this isn't great for horror games (Because it is better to play when the whole room is dark).

    I bought it as a back up controller, but it's so cool I'm using as my primary controller. Don't even need the light on in my room. So AWESOME.

    Returned the product because it did not work with PS tv. My fault. Did not realize I needed bluetooth like PS3 and PS4 controllers. Ended up buying a PS4 controller instead.

    Works as well as the original. It took a little while to get used to as it is slightly bigger than the original controller.

    This controller looks great in person. The quality is good. But, if you're aggressive with the joy sticks, it will break.

    Does what it's supposed to. The only negative is needs batteries. Didn't realize when I bought it. Works good though.
