    Purchased for my 15 year old son. His old one was no longer working. He loves the color in a dark room. It looks pretty sweet. Controller works just like any other PS3 controller, but has cool lights.

    I can't complain about this affordable and wireless playstation 3 controller. It also lights up which is pretty nice and has the feature to turn off the vibration. Worth the purchase!

    The controller works great. The price made my decision for me. I've been happy with the controller and didn't lose any functionality.

    It's really easy to use and the shape fits your hand perfectly. The red light makes it easy to find in the dark and its wireless so I can sit on the couch and watch Netflix !!!

    These are perfectly good, inexpensive controllers that I bought for a little gaming center in my office. They've been working well so far for the dozens of people who have played with them since I got them.

    Purchased this as a replacement for the PS3 controller. But it ALSO works as a fine computer game controller. Love it!! The way it lights up is really neat, too! Responsive and accurate! I was skeptical because it wasn't a Sony product, but my misgivings were quite unfounded. Great bargain, Great product!!

    My original controller stopped charging so i got this as a cheaper replacement. So far it has queued very well and the glow feature is nice, especially when you have it switched to pulse mode which syncs it Auth the vibration of the games you are playing.

    I have a few different afterglow products and though their shape compared to the original is sometimes different to get used to, I haven't had any issues with them, and this PS3 controller was no different. Great products, great price, decent design.

    Super cool controllers that light up. They work really well. Only drawback is they don't automatically link up. You have to put the dongle in the PS3

    The Afterglow AP.2 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 3 is a mediocre replacement controller compared to the Sony Dual Shock 3. The lights are cool to look at and the vibration function is cool also!

    I recently purchased this after reading many reviews. this is a great replacement controller for the PS3. My first one experienced an issue with a stuck thumb button, but bestbuy replaced this with no issues. very easy to use if not better than the OEM controller for the PS3
