Customer Ratings & Reviews

The controller stopped working after 3 months. Not sure what went wrong with it.

Using the control you feel like the buttons are glued to the control, this gives you a bad experience.

This newer controller in the Dualshock series is better than the rest due to the fact that the shell or casing for the parts has a better grip so when your palms sweat, the controller won't get all slick as the previous versions. When it drops, the casing doesn't break and never gets a scratch unless it is from a real high place. The rumble device inside is better than ever so you may feel liek you are in the game. A disadvantage is that this controller is a bit pricey and may leave a dent in your wallet where you could have gotten a video game for. You are paying for though great quality that no other controller has.

I may be omly 18 years old and live in a dorm but im pretty sure i know what im talking about when i say that this controller is the best. The dark blue color is boss and I always know that its mine when I play with my roommate and our friends. I have a blue, red, white and black we all bought our own and all chipped in for the ps3. The white always gets dirty because of our dirty hand, the red has the annoying red light that shins through it and the black is just so plain becuase like who dosent have one of those unless they got rid of it for a better one like we will be doing soon, once we get our pay checks at the end of the month. If you are looking for the right controll this is the one for you as long as you like the color blue and you are a BOSS!!!!!!

I love this thing! You never need batteries for it. All you gotta do is charge it and im totally fine with that. Ive dropped this thing a couple times and it hasnt given me any problems. I need to get another cause i only have one but the problem is that its freaking $55!!! I could buy a freaking brand new realease game for just $5 more. It should be like $40 at least. But whatever what are you gonna do! The thing rocks!

I've been playing playstation systems and xbox systems since they were released and the biggest complaint I have is 3 party remote controls never working right. So this time I did it right, I bought a Sony brand controller identical to the stock one except blue, and tried it out. Works perfect, no problems, no regrets. It was a little bit more expensive but its well worth it.

Yes, these are a little pricy, but keep in mind most controllers sold on the auction sites are counterfeit. I wanted the real deal at a reasonable price, so I took advantage of BB's new price matching policy and bought these locally. I didn't want any 3rd party controllers, and these are obviously Sony originals. The setup could not be easier - plug it in using your PS3's USB cord, hit the PS button and you are ready to go. On the downside, the batteries are not charged out of the box, so budget an hour or two to get them fully charged and ready to use. Also, my kids (age 5 and 3) occasionally have a tough time with all the button ergonomics, but it's more a function of their little hands than the controller. Overall, these are the only controllers I would ever dream of buying for my PS3. I now own four of these and they have served me well.

This is the controller that now goes standard with the Sony ps3 and tell you one thing, amazing. Egronomics may not be as comfortable as the xbox 360's controllers for some but those *the xbox* contorllers are not good for your hands and fingers having your thumbs in 2 different postions for long periods of time. Also the durability on these is superb! Trust me, i of all people should know. i tend to have that 'Call Of Duty' temper and have thrown it at a wall several times and no damage. i am strong and threw this a good 40 mph, no joke and only till the recent throw did it crack down the seam, yet still works. Astonishing product and is put down at a price good enough to have 2-4 to play with friends. One last thing, the battery lasts a VERY long time for game-play and the blutooth connection is great! BUY NO OTHER CONTROLLER FOR PS3! ONLY A FOOL WOULD DO SO!

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.

We had three other controllers for a really long time and they've been dropped on our tiled floor multiple times over the past two-ish years but didn't have any problems until recently (joystick kept getting stuck). Purchased these to replace the older ones! Great product!

You just can't get a third-party controller. Unless we're talking about fight sticks or other peripherals, first-party is the way to go. If you have a PS3, get this. If you want a controller for your PC, maybe look into the Xbone controller.

Sony Dual Shock 3 controller. The newest addition to the Sony collection. It has many features to offer. What I love about the controller is that its wireless. No, more tangles or tripping over cords. Also the charge ability. Once the controller is charge it last for a great deal of time. For me personally weeks on end Also the six axis feature is awesome. Its like a steering an invisible wheel. Then you can play from a long distance. Being able to access the menu and turn the PlayStation off form the controller as well. Check it out.

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.

Great controller. it is a great feeling to finally be able to play my favorite games from anywhere in the room, wireless. This controller offers much and allows comfortable play, however, the price is too high.

This is the best controller for ps3. the only thing not great about this controller is the price, but you get what you pay for. it is better than cheaper knock off brands, because it does not have dead zones on the analog pads. a dead zone is a small area where the joy stick does not respond. i would say if you pay more for the better controller you will get the better product, so buy this controller.

For all your PS3 gaming needs, the Dual Shock 3 Wireless is the controller to have. Playstation enthusiasts will love falling right into the comfort of the controller they have known for years. Rumble and button positioning is kept mostly intact. The difference in this iteration is the six-axis control scheme that is implemented here and there. Great potential. The best features by far are the easy-to-set-up, far-reaching wireless capability (with charging done through the PS3's provided USB cable) and the surprisingly lengthy battery life. If you're a gamer like me with a distaste for battery replacement, this is a must-have. My only gripe is the MRP of $54.99, but this is a standard distaste during this generation of consoles and comparable to the price of a Wii remote + nunchuk combo or the Xbox 360 wireless controller. For the gamer in need of comfort, wireless, and good battery life, the Sony DS3 wireless controller should top his or her list.

controller is just like the one it came with except the color blue. the only downside and the reason for only 4 stars is that it will not charge on my old charger base. I have to connect it to the cord that is attached to the PS3 for it to charge.

I got an extra controller when I bought my PS3 & I'm glad I did. It works out great when getting into a long gaming session online with friends to have a backup. The PS3 charges one while I'm playing so I'm always good to go. I'm glad it was on sale because the regular price is just too much! I would have had to buy an aftermarket controller & really haven't had good luck with any in the past!

I actually have 4 controllers. Glad I have 2 systems cause it seems playstation is stepping away from family played games.Or the companies that make the games for them are.The controllers last a while,I got a table charger for 2 controllers at a time and it works great .Keeps all 4 charged and usable.I have big hands so I must admit I like the original xbox design the best for systems.It was big enough to keep my hands comfortable for much longer time.Not much changed in playstations paddle designs ,but still enjoy them greatly.2 of my paddles are atleast 3 years old and still keep a great charge and work perfect.

What can I say? The best controller for the best console in the last decade. My wife needed one to join in the fun so I picked up another.
