This is a great controller, I'm going to start with the good things and the bad things

the good things: it has sweet LED lights, it has 2 rumble pads (it vibrates), the controller feels so natural in my hands, you can enable turbo fire by pressing any button and then pressing the button on top of the PS button,

the bad things: there is only one bad thing that is a big yet a small problem, the dead zone, for you who do not know what a dead zone is, it is the amount of space you can move an analog stick before it will respond. The dead zone is huge on the controller and if you are used to the original PS3 controller then it will take a week or two to get used to.And one more thing, if you press the PS button it wont turn on the PS3.

HOW TO USE: it will come with a usb thing (sorry i dont know what its called), you get the usb and stick it into your PS3, and press connect until the light flickers really fast then press the controller's Ps button until it flickers really fast and it will connect,

if you already had it connected and turned your PS3 off, when you turn it on , just turn the button behind the controller to 'ON' and then it should automatically turn on

I hope you decide to buy thing controller AS IT IS AWESOME, great for first person shooters, like call of duty

and i hope you enjoyed my review

I really liked this controller when I first saw it and decided to get it because it was cheaper than the actual Sony controller and it glowed my favorite color. The only thing that disappointed me was that it wasn't completely wireless.. meaning it has a separate receiver to plug in but is still wireless, and that it isn't motion sensitive which isn't stated in the first place. The trigger buttons are a little more firm, and it doesn't turn on the system by itself, oh and you need some AAA batteries to run it, but other than that, it's pros outweigh the cons, it's still wireless, you can get rechargeable batteries, and the closer buttons make them easier to hit more than one especially on games where you need them. The LEDs are really bright and work great, and it works just like a regular controller. Good buy.

FYI, I bought this controller at a local game shop, not Amazon.

When I bought my PS3, I knew I needed an extra controller. The Sony brands were selling in store for over $50, and the dreamGear DGPS3-1372 was about $30.

Pros:

I like the feel of the dreamGear controller better than the Sony Dualshock. The DGPS3-1372 is slightly larger than the Sony Dualshock, most notably the "handles" are a bit longer, fitting my hands better. The dreamGear has a more solid feel. The plastic shell seems harder and stiffer, so it feels more substantial.

Cons:

Since it uses a separate USB dongle for wireless connectivity, it will use up one of your USB ports (my PS3 only has 2 USB ports, so that is significant).

It cannot be used to turn on the PS3. The dreamGear uses USB, the Dualshock uses Bluetooth. The USB doesn't have power until the PS3 is already turned on, so it can't be used to turn on the console.

No rechargeable battery. The dreamGear uses AAA batteries. They're easy to find, easy to replace, but the cost adds up. In the 9 months that I've had mine, I've easily spent $15 on batteries, probably closer to 20. So the total cost of the dreamGear may be higher in the long run.

After 9 months the "X" button spring has worn out. I've played on the controller for many hours, so wear and tear is to be expected. The button still works, but doesn't spring back up quickly. For games that require you to quickly press the button, you're out of luck.

So now I need a replacement. And in spite of my list of Cons, I'm seriously considering buying another dreamGear. I like playing games on this controller. It has a good feel.
