Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is not the same quality or make as the one that comes with the PS3 unit. I've heard that manufacturers included better quality controllers/units as part of the set and standalone products aren't quite up to the same standard. The controller works fine, but feels a bit less hefty than the one that came with the unit. Don't know how long it'll last but has been good so far!

Works as you'd expect. My only issue with the controller is that it feels too light. Overall 5/7

I had to replace my original PS3 controller and this one does the job. It feels lighter than the original, but that's fine with me. Would surely recommend as a replacement or additional controller.

You can't go wrong with a Playstation brand. It is just like the one you get when you buy a Playstation. This dual shock feels lighter than previous versions.

Looks and works as the original controllers. Feels lighter but works the same.

A bit heavier than previous controller but feels comfortable. Rumble function is lots of fun with supported games and feedback experience occurs in real-time. PS3 controllers are pricey but compared to previous one, extra cost of upgrading is worth it.

This second generation controller is much nicer with the added weight from the vibration parts that are inside. The first controller just seemed too light and very fragile but this one feels much more like the PS2 controller. The battery life seems to be very good and being Blutooth is very nice if you are very far away from your PS3 or if you have it hidden away within an enterntainment center. The larger shoulder buttons are not the most comfortable and sometimes get in the way and are not as responsive due to their size.

this controller is nice to have if you have friend or family over but its a little expensive for a controller and its a little heavier than the old one. it doesn't matter to me, but some of my friends don't like really like the extra weight. the only reason i would recommend it is because its the best feeling controller and the other ones are hard to get use too.

It's a great controller. My only gripe is the weight of it. It's not heavy but I feel like it can break if dropped on a tile floor or something so be careful with it. It's really sensitive which helps out in games that require accuracy and precision like in shooting games.

This controller feels a bit lighter compared to the ps2 dualshock but heavier than the six axis controller. I recommend getting a charge station for it so you don't have to remember to plug in the USB cord to charge it while you're not playing or have an extra controller charged up. It just sucks when you're ready to dish out a few good hours of playtime when your controller dies and you have to sit close to the system because you can only play with the USB cord connected.

This is a great upgrade from the regular six axis controller. The six axis was very very light, and there was no rumble. With the Dual Shock 3 it actually feels like a controller and there is rumble now. The only downfall about the controllers are the triggers. The triggers feel like mush. Specially compared to the xbox 360 triggers. Also there is not enough rumble. But other than that this is a very nice controller.

This controller would be great if it was designed better & not so light, with this said it breaks easy even on carpet...My 360 controllers take more punishment than these on a hard surface
