    absolutely worth the money, it is one of the best controllers out there and come in several different led colors. The kids really enjoy the new controllers.They are easy to charge and setup for game time. I highly recommend this product.

    My brother and I needed a controller for a PS3, so we went to our local Best Buy. We saw this generic game controller. The best part, half the price. We didn't even know this product existed, if we hadn't gone that day. All in all it works beautifully. I quickly realized that this controller had potential when I google the reviews on several websites, including Best Buys. Honestly, great alternative to an original controller. It also lights up blue with its led switch. The only con is that the navigation trckpad is the opposite of the real Sony ps3 controller. Other than that I would buy another one and recommend this product to all.

    This controller does everything the original controllers do, at a fraction of the price. Easy setup, and long battery life. I recommend these highly... Save your money, unless you just have to have the Sony name on your gear.

    I looked forward to getting this replacement PS3 controller for the controller that I broke this year accidentally(dang-it!), but all that was good about this controller was the cool red lights that lit up after charging it for several hours. After disconnecting the power/charge usb cable the controller kept flashing where the power on indicator was, and zero response from any buttons to navigate the PS3 game menu. I tried many times to reset or shut the controller on/off many times and still it didn't work. It wouldn't let me navigate the PS3 menus at all. All the buttons were unresponsive. I was going to return it to get a replacement or refund but I opened the box after the 14 day return policy. Problem solved! I just bought the original Black Sony PS3 controller for $50 and it works & let's me navigate the game menus and play my games. A bummer, but this didn't work out for me. The red lights sure were purdy & bright though! :-P

    We bought our boys a new (to us) PS3 and it came with one controller, so had to buy a second. This was a good choice... Except I wish we had two of these. The boys argued about who got which. Now they take turns.

    I really like the feel of this controller. It feels a little smaller than the PlayStation controller, and a little like the Xbox controller. The analog sticks are a little off centered which gives it the Xbox feel

    Its a comfortable, affordable controller. It glows a cool green that has 3 different settings, which is awesome. Fits into your grip nicely. The coolest thing is you can see the components inside.
