L2 and R2 buttons at a 45° angle, the LEDs are terrible. The controller is made from cheap plastic. The home button is glued on there ( the piece fell off after a month or so). I deem this the worst PS3 controller available.

For an $25 controller, it is not bad. i like the slick design, besides the L2 & R2 buttons. not to good if the game involves those two alot like call of duty. it is really hard to use. the wired part of the controller doesnt make a difference that much. but the placement of those two buttons parallel to the top ones would make it an excellant controller. i play ps3 day to day and it fustrates me when i die. but other that that it is good. below is what i recommend.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
This was the first controller I was able to buy for my PS3. I initially liked the clear, somewhat-lightweight design, but the buttons were aesthetically lacking (read: everything looks crooked except the GameStop logo on the faceplate), and the triggers are awkwardly pointed inward at 45 degree angles. Granted, that wasn't a problem for me the same way that it would be a -major- problem for COD players or fans of any other console shooter, but the triggers also have really awful, low-quality springs that you can see through the controller itself. The other buttons seemed sluggish, but solid. The bumpers were the primary offenders beyond the trigger buttons, but I had no noticeable issues with the analog sticks or D-pad.
After about 10 hours of use spaced out over a couple of days, the right trigger (R2) completely locked inward. By comparison, my GameStop-brand wired Xbox 360 controller (purchased in 2009) lasted me about 8 months of continuous play, and I'd usually log anywhere from 2-6 hours a day of playtime. Even then, its functionality had only ceased due to a wire shortage...not a broken button.
This could very well be the worst peripheral GameStop has directly attached their name to in the past decade, and it frustrates me that a company who has generally provided solid third-party peripheral solutions in the past has had such a dip in quality with this product.

NYKO Raven
Posted 1/12/12
I am updating my previous review to include a great alternative for a cheap PS3 controller. I recently found and purchased a NYKO Raven controller for a comparable price to this controller. It's wireless and rechargeable. It's not perfect and not a DualShock3 either, but it's probably a better alternative. I checked this site at http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessories/ps3-raven-wireless-controller/78240 and it's currently not available, but it can be found online elsewhere. I personally prefer buying items in-store, but I'm glad I found and bought that controller online.

I got this controller a while back so I could play co-op games with my brother, which is the aspect of gaming that appeals most to me. I had it for about a year and never liked it. Performance in-game wasn't too bad, but aiming with the right analog stick in shooters like Army of Two: The 40th Day and Borderlands was definitely not as smooth as with the DualShock3 that came with the system. Also, I never liked the feel of the controller in my hand. It seemed too narrow and brought my hands too close together. The buttons were small and the triggers were offset, so design gets really low marks from me. Maybe the design is good for a kid's smaller hands, but that would be a major problem given the next problem I have with it: the durability. My brother and I are not the type of players who abuse controllers, so I was disappointed with the rate this controller fell apart. All the buttons got sticky within about 6 months. The spring back in the L2 button actually stopped working and we had to pop the button off and operate the arm inside the controller manually via a twist tie. Also, using fairly reasonable grip pressure, the controller seemed to always have new hair-line cracks in the plastic. The cracking eventually led to the controller literally breaking open my brothers hand while he was playing. We taped it back together and did so again every time a new break occurred. Eventually the handles were terribly out of form and we had to trash the thing.
Now on to the worst aspect of the controller: I have to recommend it by default because there aren't any viable alternates short of the DualShock3 for $20+ more dollars. Ideally I'd like a more durable and wireless controller for $20 - $30 but that's not going to happen. Other cheaper controllers will likely have similar durability issues and the wireless ones are total battery hogs. On a positive note, this controller seems slightly better than the knock-offs from the DualShock2 era. When I go in to replace the one I just trashed, I can either shell out the money for a DualShock3, or get another one of these and hope to get more than a year out of it.

When I saw this controller, I thought " Man, this is awesome." It was, for about 30 minuets. After figuring out where I put the USB (About 29 of the 30 minuets), I was going to COD online. That's when I noticed the triggers. When I got on, the R3 button didn't work. So, I got shot multiple times, and crushed the fricken thing.It might seem unrealistic, but its true.

I Just Bought This Yesterday And I Don't Like It. My Other Controllers Broke So i Went To Go Get a New Controller And i Saw This On This On The Wall And I Thought This Would Be An Great Controller But Once I Got Home To Play Black Ops I Could Luckily Get a Single Kill And Don't Get Me Started With The Trigers. I Just Hate The R1 R2 L1 L2 The Controller Is Too Big In "MY" Hand So I Can Hardly Shoot. And When I Try To Snipe It Just Moves To The Side Or I Get a Another Hit Marker. The Only Thing Its Good For Is Browsing The Dash Board. So Over All I Do Not Recommend This To And That Plays Hard Core Games.

Friend of mine bought this controller. It did not go so well. While he was playing a game he was gripping the end parts a bit hard like always and eventually in the game they broke.I would not suggest this for any hardcore gamers.Or use for any kind of racing game.Or for any who might throw or drop the controller if get angry at a game.It will break.I would suggest going for Either the Afterglow controller or perhaps any other of the controllers besides this one.Even a Pre-owned Dualshock Controller would work just fine.
