It comes off as a great priced controller at ten bucks...but you get exactly what you pay for in this case: a cheap third party controller(if you can even call it that) that will work for a couple weeks if you have better luck than myself. This controller had quite a few problems, but a few big ones. First Off, this controller is a PS3 controller and it has no PS button, so you have no access to the main menu (XMB) while in-game, and sometimes you need to access the XMB for online games for inviting friends and etc. Then there is the buttons and analog sticks, the buttons require you to press way to hard down on them to process a button hit and they feel very poorly put into the controller almost as if they can just fall right out. Not to mention the controller is an exact replica of a PS2 controller and not a PS3 one. A few of the minor problems: the cord is way too short, likely the length of a standard USB cable. It is very light to the point that it literally feels as if there is nothing inside it. I took the cheap route to try and get a decent controller and I should have known better. Its only 10 bucks so its not exactly the end of the world, but most certainly dont look this way for a controller purchase. I dont even think PS3 knows of this controller. It's so cheap that is actually says "Compatible with P3 game system", yes P3. Sometimes you just have to pay a little more if you want decent hardware. That's the case here.

This is the single worst controller I have ever used. First off, it's so light and cheap in your hands that it feels like it will break. The cord is so painfully short that you nearly have to sit with the system in your lap (it's maybe 18 inches long; shorter than the recharge cable for the system). The buttons don't visibly appear to stick, but their functions inside do. When you press a button while playing a game, there's a fair chance that it will stick and your character will keep doing the pressed action, like jumping (for a face button) or turning (for one of the joysticks). If you press more than one button at a time, the controller barely seems capable of handling multiple functions and one of them just might not work. I was playing Trine and about 80% of the time I couldn't jump or move at the same time. I had to choose one or the other! Also, sometimes it would seemingly lose it's connection to the PS3 even with the cord plugged completely in; it would just lose the signal. I know it's not the PS3, because I just bought it brand new a week and a half ago and the Dualshock 3 that came with it and the second Dualshock 3 that I bought work like a dream.

I purchased this so I could have a third controller without shelling out $50 like I did for the second one, but no. No. This piece of junk isn't even worth $0.99. At least with $0.99 you could buy a burrito at Taco Bell and that would assuredly be the better value. Trust me when I say that you're better off with no controllers than with this one. It's a huge waste of money and will only serve to infuriate you. I am seriously going to look into some quality control issues on Amazon to see if you can get products banned, because this -should NOTbe on the market. It may as well be considered theft.

The one time I make a purchase without 1st reading reviews, and it really bit me in the ass. Can't remember the last I was so disappointed in an amazon purchase. Of course, the obvious complaint about the controller is the lack of the PS button, but it also plays stiff as hell!!! You practically fracture your thumbs trying to use the thing effectively. I'd love to have been able to send the thing right back, but I let my temper get the best of me and ended up shattering the thing in frustration...

I guess it's really my own fault for neglecting to read reviews, and being blinded by the cheap price. damn though, times are hard!!!

I guess the moral of the story is, if something looks to good to be true...well, you know the rest.
