Selected User Reviews For PS-3 Controller Wireless, PS-3 Controller Gamepad Compatible with Play-Station 3, Double Vibration Controller with Charging Cable (Black Circuit Pattern)
It has a more ergonomic handle and feels similar to the original PS3 controller. The functions of the buttons, joysticks, and other controls are identical to those on the original PS3 controller. The button has a lovely minimalist design, and the controller is devoid of any brand logos. The battery has a life of A. This is due to the controller's automatic shutdown feature, which turns it off after five minutes of inactivity. The price is less than half that of the original PS3 controller, making it the best deal around!.
DualShock 3 can be found somewhere. I realize I'm in the minority, but I still play my PS3 on occasion. One DualShock controller has completely died on me, while the other is slowly dying. As a result, I've been on the lookout for a suitable companion/replacement for the DS I still have. The issue is that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find an unopened OG DS3 for less than $50 in 2020. There is a used market, but I always run the risk of the controller being on its last legs as well. As a result, I've decided to go with a third-party solution. It's no better, of course, because it's a land of "varying quality," but at least I have a better chance of returning the item for a "defect. " br>br>Now, I've had my fair share of bad experiences with manufacturers. I've purchased controllers for as little as $10 only to have the battery die or arrive dead on arrival, the sixaxis be barely responsive or non-existent, and the sticks lack 16 points of direction (which translates to jerky motion). I currently have two third-party controllers that work: This controller, as well as a white one with only eight directions and no six axes. br>br>For the money, this comes as close to the old DS3 in terms of function and quality as you can get. I can't guarantee that every unit will perform as well as mine, but I'm happy with mine. Sixaxis is a great system to use. Rumble is active, and it feels just like it does on the DS3. It has curved triggers and slightly tighter joysticks than the DS3, making it feel more like the DS4. The battery life of the controller has yet to be determined, but it came with a charge and was still fully charged after 50 minutes of play. The protrusion of the d-pad is my only complaint about this controller. Buttons on the pad and on the face It does let me know that I am pressing them, but they aren't as pleasant to press. Particularly in fighting games, this is true. The d- Smooth circular motions or semi-circular motions are not possible with this pad. For games that require them, circular motions are used; Street Fighter, Tekken, and even MK are some of the most popular fighting games on the market. For the most part, this is a good controller, as long as the manufacturer maintains a high level of quality. br>br>One thing I haven't tested (for those who care), is whether the buttons have pressure sensitive functionality. Some games, such as MGS5, Gran Turismo, and Wipeout, do not require this feature. If this controller comes with it, it's a bargain!.
I've been using this control for a week and it's fantastic; it's a fraction of the price of the original, it works flawlessly and is of excellent quality, the battery lasts a long time, and the sensitivity is excellent; I'm very pleased with my purchase.
First, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the outer plastic shell (I didn't even realize it had a design when I purchased it). I like it. )br>br>For a while, everything worked fine, and I was able to play a few games with it. Everything went smoothly. Then I used a trick I use in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion: In Oblivion, I spend about 30 minutes holding the left joystick up to raise my sneak higher than it should be at the start of the game. I'm not holding my breath, just walking your character forward, and I've noticed that it doesn't like going left, so I have to rotate the joystick up and then left to get it to move left. I've tried it in other places as well, and even the menu requires three or four presses of the joystick left to scroll over. Because I don't play many FPS games, it's still enjoyable for me. That, however, should not have been the cause of the failure. Connections at a low cost Second, the controller's battery life is comparable to that of a standard Sony PS3 controller, if not slightly longer, but it cannot be used while charging. With the Sony controllers, you might be able to do so.
However, is it possible to fix it? Before I even use my new PS3 controller, it appears to be broken or defective. It quickly became second nature; I installed a game (Dragon's Dogma), and the right analog joy stick kept moving to the left. The camera in the game is controlled by the right stick, so the camera was always rotating to the left around my character. I used a needle to press the controller reset button on the back of the controller. Now everything appears to be in order. Will give it a week or two and return for a refund if the same issue arises, but for the time being, it's working perfectly. All of the buttons work properly, and there appears to be no input lag. After a few weeks, I'll revise this review. If the controller continues to function properly, I will award it a five-star rating. To be honest, I had a hissy fit when the right stick started acting up right away, but once I reset the controller, everything was fine, and if it stays that way, it'll be a great value for the money I spent.
I'm trying to catch up on my PS3 and PS4 backlog while I wait for PS5s to become more widely available (ha). However, my last Dualshock 3 has reached the end of its useful life. While DS4s can be used on a PS3, the PS button is disabled, and LT and RT are not always functional. br>br>So I got this, and for the price, I haven't had any complaints thus far. Charge it, connect it to your console, and start playing.
The dead area on analog sticks is enormous. I had to return this because it was a disaster when I tried to play a game that required precise analog control with it. The large dead area of the analog sticks prevented me from making precise movements. Every time the home button was pressed, it became stuck in the controller's casing. br>While the home button may be overlooked, the analog sticks are a deal-breaker.
The controller functions well for the most part, but I have encountered one issue that others may encounter if they purchase this controller. I'm currently playing NCAA football, and the icons will sometimes move on their own, while the select boxes in the menu will move all over the place, and my players will move on their own. Again, it's most likely just my controller, but it's a good controller in general.
