NO RUMBLE and NO SIXAXIS. I don't understand why Psyclone didn't include at least the rumbling feature. A lot of people where blasting sony for not including it in the original sixaxis. Really disappointing because I really like the way it feels in my hand and the triggers. The triggers are some of the best designed on any controller in my opinion. They move so smoothly. They offer hardly any resistance. Kind of reminds me of my Springfield XD 45 in a way. I wish I could take the insides of the dualshock and put them in this controller. It would be perfect for me. It also has a on/off switch which is nice. The aluminum on the controller feels really nice especially if its cold. I would keep this controller if it just had rumble in it. I can do without the sixaxis but not the rumble. Psyclone had a good idea with this item but just failed to out do the dualshock. The analog sticks are stiffer then sony's but I actually found myself enjoying their stiffness. If you don't need the rumbling feature or sixaxis then this would be a great product for you. Oh yeah this is a RF controller so it won't turn on your PS3 but it does have a home button.

I was foolish enough to get two of these.

As others have stated, this controller does not connect via Bluetooth, but with a USB receiver that must be plugged into the front of the PlayStation 3. For the first controller, this connection worked perfectly for the first month or so (this is why I invested in the second controller). But after a while, the controller would occasionally fail to connect to the receiver, making it unusable. As time went on, the number of lucky chances where a connection was made became fewer and fewer, until the controller now simply refuses to connect at any time. I have tried following the instructions word for word, tried Googling answers, tried every possible combination of the "connect" button on the controller and the button on the receiver-pressing one then the other, holding one and pressing the other, pressing both at the same time, holding both-as well as every possible combination of "connect", "home", "start", "X", et cetera. It's obvious that some type of signal is being sent, since pressing the "connect" button on the controller will make the light on the receiver flash, and vice versa. But nothing I can possibly do will actually make this controller work.

The second controller skipped the month of functionality and refused to connect straight out of the box-and yes, I have tried both controllers separately to make sure they are not interfering with each others' signals, and I have been sure not to get the two USB receivers confused. Neither controller will connect. They're paperweights.

This controller does not connect to the ps3 via Blutooth. It uses a small usb adapter. To connect, you must push a series of buttons on the usb receiver and the controller, which never works correctly on the first try. I can confirm that the R1 and L1 buttons must be mashed down to sense the push (Tested using Uncharted). The triggers have an empty and loose feel when you press them and my right trigger squeaks every time. Just do not buy this controller for any reason because it's terrible, and if you cant afford the Sony brand, there are far superior controllers by reliable companies like Mad Catz.

The controller is very hard to connect you have to go through multiple steps just to get it to work The controls are stiff and unresponsive. I bought this since it was the only one at the store with a turbo function. The turbo key is a nuisance you don't know which button is on turbo and is hard getting them to turn on and off. Also this is not turbo hold just turbo, which means i wasted my money and it will sit in a box till my other controllers break.

Got this at Target for $20 on clearance. Since I play COD:WaW with this controller, I can't say the same for other games. I like it. Controller works. The sticks a little stiff but does the job. Online gaming, the right stick was a bit unresponsive but maybe because I haven't broken it in yet. I like the RF connector on teh ps3, it doesn't look like a regular USB plug, it camouflage itself well. I can definitely see myself buying another one (for $20) and have only ONE official ps3 controller. COD seem to have broken the left stick on both my official ps3 controller.

MY problem is with the R1/L1 button. Aiming with the L1, I can't just lightly tap it, I have to hold it down firm. Lightly tapping it down, my player would aim for 2 3 sec and release the aim. If I held it down tight, it doesn't happen. Maybe it needs to be broken in too. Same thing with the R1. Sometime, my firing would cease and I have to repeatedly tap the R1 button. Great with semi and/or single shot, BAD with auto and machine gun.

My FIX: Change the button layout from Default to Default Flip (xbox360 config) which change the aim/shoot to the trigger and swap teh grenades to R1/L1. The triggers were awesome.

Will update soon regarding R1/L1 sensitivity. (Oh yeah, I try changing the game sensitivity up but that got me dizzy. LOL. Back to medium sensitivity).
