5 out of 5 stars White Controller   March 13, 2010
MrJBot (Waynesboro, PA)
I recently bought the white controller (at wal-mart because at the time the price was the same as here, sorry amazonians) and it looks absolutely sharp. I personally think it's the best looking PS3 controller out of all of them. It definitely stands out due to the dark buttons. Go get one!


5 out of 5 stars Solid Red Plastic Looks Great   March 13, 2010
J. Reed (Oregon, United States)
I was so pleased to learn that Sony resolved their legal issue with "Dual Shock" rumble. Now this feels so much like the controller I have grown used to. It has a good weight to it now and the rumble and new six axis features work very well together. Actually I had a Wii and the six axis features of the Wiimote (like in MarioKart) seem to be not as precise or user friendly as Sony's are.

As for the red color, I was worried it was painted, but no the plastic is through and through red, solid red. And the red is the God of War red (in my opinion) so it is pleasant on the eye.

I am still not very pleased with the L3 and R3 buttons, they feel awkward, but I couldn't really tell you how to better implement these extra buttons either.



5 out of 5 stars works like a charm..   March 13, 2010

i wanted the white controller originally, but amazon didn't have it in stock at the time. oh well. the color doesn't make it work better than it already does.


4 out of 5 stars Kind of a no-brainer   March 10, 2010
tomahagne (Elkridge, MD)
In my experience, no controller works quite as well as the original. Yes, the Sony DualShock is pricier than the third parties', but no one, not even Logitech, seems to be as well-polished as the tried and true DualShock.

I've been burned (not physically) by bad controllers enough times to know better now. Sure, I can buy a Nyko or Mad Catz for half the price, and take the gamble. Or, I can just buy the sure thing.

I think that assurance is money well spent.

That said, I will admit that the ergonomics are not (and has never been) quite right for the Sony controllers. Some complain that the grip angles are wrong or too slim. I personally don't take issue with either, but I can't figure out why they round the top of the analog sticks. They're textured and grippy enough for dry thumbs, but after a while, your thumbs will build up a little sweat. And a little is all you need for it to get slippery. This isn't as unusual a scenario as it may sound. When you're resting your thumbs against a rubbery plastic surface, they will get a little warm and become just slightly moist. The only way to maintain contact is to occasionally wipe your thumbs.

That seems a bit silly to me. This minor design flaw is most noticeable during intense first-person shooters. It's even a bit frustrating when playing easy-going games like LittleBigPlanet which uses the analogs almost exclusively.

If they would implement a more aggressive texture (like skateboard tape) or depressions (like Xbox controllers) this would be perfect.

Fortunately, there are some easy add-on solutions that work very well:
FPS Freek
SpeedFreek
PS3 Dual Triggers

Yes, that means spending a few more dollars on top of your $50+ controller, but they're worth it.
