This controller sets up easily and provides all of the same functions as a traditional ps3 controller. Price was the most appealing part, great alternative for those who dont want to pay for a name branded ps3 controller.

This controller has a setting to shut off during inactivity and has lights inside it. One drawback is it uses a USB chip to connect wirelessly to the ps3. Other than that the gadget is really great.

Part of the fun of this controller is that it lights up. I think the blue color is awesome and works as well as the name brand product for a better price.

This controller works fine. Cool looks, good performance. Slightly odd button placement but I got used to it fairly quickly. Overall a good purchase.

Bought this controller so that friends and family could play together and for the price it's great. I tried using it myself and found that it's just not the same; I know that the layout and size are different but honestly didn't think it would be such a challenge; works great for kids though so I'm happy.

Works as a less expensive alternative to the Sony branded one. I only got it so my girlfriend could play with me and she likes it, so thats a plus.

This PS3 controller is awesome! Yes, it lights up. Yes, it's wireless (sadly, it's with a USB dongle, not bluetooth). But the BEST thing this controller offers is the joystick placement. I'm used to playing a lot of Xbox, and I honestly prefer the Xbox controller. This controller switches the left joystick and the D-Pad so it mimics the Xbox controller layout. It's very comfortable to me. There are several negatives to this controller. First, the controller won't turn on your PS3. Second, the controller has an auto-off to save battery life that's just a tad too short. Third, the controller build feels cheap and flimsy. However, despite the fact there are drawbacks to this controller, I prefer playing with this controller rather than a DUALSHOCK 3. That says a lot. I think I received this controller randomly and I don't know if all these colors are the same. If you prefer an Xbox 360 controller, you owe it to yourself to pick up this controller!

This is a great replacement controller at a great price. Haven't had any issues with it. It has an extra long cord for charging, storage space for usb attachment is on the controller so it won't get lost and the light is cool. Have one in green as well and have been happy with it also. A+

Works great - power saving mode when idle

This was a great replacement for my old controller. It's really hard these days to find a controller for a PS3, and not only is it affordable, but it exceeded my expectations for gameplay. The power saving mode is also an excellent feature when you are watching movies. It is easy to switch back on and it does not need to be recharged as often as the Sony controllers.
The only drawback is that it takes up a USB port, but that's minor compared to how great it works, and that's negligible considering I don't really use that feature if I'm using two controllers (because I do plan on replacing my other controller in the future).

This remote has great grip on the analog sticks and gives you a comfortable feel on the hands. It glows the color you buy and will help if you're playing in the dark, I give this remote a 5 star because I have had it for a few weeks and haven't had to charge it once.

I love this controller the glow of it just adda to the experience for some reason. The vibration it has is more pronounced then the ones that comes with the console. It is totally worth the price which is better than a lot of others of lesser quality.
