PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Classic White)

I love the controller, and the price on Amazon made it a heck of a bargain compared to local stores in my area. HOWEVER, the item description (to me) gave the impression that the controller came with the charging cord. It did not, so I had to buy one separately. Since I had to spend extra money on the cord, I really didn't save any money versus if I had bought the controller at my local Walmart or Gamestop (which would have came with the cord to start with).The controller itself is very nice. Love the white color. It is a nice compliment to my black console. Controller works great just like it should. I definitely recommend buying the actual Sony controllers because they are pretty much guaranteed to work-- with the knockoff controllers, you are taking a gamble.

SONY DUALSHOCK 3 CONTROLLER FOR PLAYSTATION 3This controller is no doubt the best for the Playstation.DESIGN - 8/10The design fits perfectly for most people. I am a person with relatively small hands (I'm 5' 4" and 15 years old), and the shape of the controller seems to be built for me. The two handles are compactly cradled in my two palms, and the plastic is smooth and feels nice.The two analog sticks are a bit too close to each other in my opinion--if you move both to the center of the controller, your thumb tips will touch.The R2 and L2 buttons are a bit wonky--they are curved inwards, so if you put the controller on the floor, the two buttons might accidentally activate.I personally think that the XBOX360 controller is better in the ergonomics for most people, but don't get me wrong--the DualShock fits great and looks great as well.USAGE - 10/10The thing about the DualShock 3 is that it's the best controller for consoles--the deadzone is near non-existant. This means that you will be able to make precise and small movements with the analog sticks, which is great for first person shooters and many others.The D-Pad is also best in class. The arrow buttons are actually on a single disk being pressed, but when using it, it feels like they are real buttons. I have to say, hands down--the PS3 controller is better than the XBOX controller in terms of technology.DURABILITY/CONSTRUCTION - 10/10The DualShock's construction is once again, incredibly well done. The plastic is VERY hard, and has sustained from at least ten 5' drops. I would prefer not to drop it at all, though.The controller is relatively easy to open for repairs.Battery lasts me about 15 hours at minimum each charge. I play about 3 hours a day, and it has once lasted me an entire week. Amazing for such a small battery pack.This truly is one of the best in class controllers for gaming. They could have done better on ergonomics and design, but the hardware and construction outweigh the cons. 10/10.

Adding this review to address numerous Amazon comments regarding white counterfeit Dualshock 3's...Purchased this controller to accompany my lone OEM six-axis controller that came with the PS3 - was not satisfied using a wireless Logitech PC game pad not designed for the system as my second controller.I ordered the Classic White Dualshock 3, sold by Sony Computer Entertainment/Amazon LLC*, and everything seems to work fine. I've been scouring the web watching videos and reading forums discussing the elements that indicate a counterfeit controller and I'll post annotated images of my controller including the label area. So far I can't find anything wrong with this controller except at one attempt to turn on the PS3, it went into all 4 LEDs flashing after the system booted. I just had to press the reset button on the underside to fix.**Controller inspection:+Silkscreen SONY labels and button markings are aligned, printed smooth/cleanly, and match the colors of my OEM six-axis controller.+LED lights are flush with the front side of the controller.+Seams between top half and bottom are clean and not sharp, and flashing from the plastic mold on the analog sticks are clean.+Buttons, analog stick, and d-pad all work fine. I can press the L3/R3 analog stick buttons down while they are moved.+Label on back is aligned and flush with label area. No spelling errors, missing punctuations, or extra spacing (Enter tainment).+Reset button needed to be used, so it's not a functionless hole on the underside.+While inspecting label, I could not locate any 6th counterfeit screw hole under the label.-I do see the red LEDs illuminating faintly through the face of the controller, not sure if that's normal.Been paranoid and hesitant while deciding on this purchase, but I'm happy so far with my controller. Will edit my review if I find otherwise.==EDIT==*Looking back at my order, it says it was fulfilled by "J&R Music and Computer World."**The controller seems to have trouble assigning itself to a controller number when used wirelessly to turn on the system. I tried resetting and making sure it was the only controller plugged in via USB and was able to sync it after some on/off testing. But if I wait a day and try to turn it on, I get the same blinking set of LEDs after the PS3 turns on. Have to plug it into USB wire or keep a paperclip handy, so I'm docking one star off for this inconvenience.

Pros:- Sixaxis- Dualshock 3- Good QualityCons:- Price- Does not come with a charging cableI ordered both a white and blue controller to go with my red one that I have had for years. I was only disappointed when I opened these when I found that they did not come with a charging cable. I paid good money for a controller, and Sony can't even throw in an extremely cheap USB to miniUSB cable? I thought that was a little messed up. But, in terms of the controllers themselves, these are very solid controllers. The red one I have been using for years and several thousand hours of gaming still feels almost exactly like the new ones I ordered, the only difference being that the new ones have more knobbies and texture on them.When I needed more controllers for my PS3, I decided to spend the money to get a couple good controllers that I knew would last a long time and not give me any problems. Overall, these are great controllers and I definitely recommend them. Just be sure to order a charging cable when you order one of these.

J'ai reçu le produit un mois après la date prévue de livraison. Deuxième déception, la manette n'est pas une originale Sony comme le montre la photo du produit, fausse représentation. Troisième déception, elle ne fonctionne pas sans le fil. Quatrième déception, le produit a fonctionné 2 semaines et puis plus rien. C'est le genre d'expérience qui va me faire réfléchir avant de retourner acheter un produit sur Amazon. Got the controller 1 month after the expected delivery date. Second issue, not a Sony brand controller as shown on the product picture. Third issue, the controller does not work without the cable. Fourth issue, after 2 weeks only the controller is dead. This is the kind of experience that will make me think twice prior ordering again on Amazon. Very disappointed. Oh and I don`t think it deserve the 1 star, I had to put one to complete my comment....

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  La batterie e ko, funziona solamente in carica usb, togliendo il cavo si spegne il tutto, la batterie e andata.Comunque a onor del vero tramite chat amazon mi ha fatto un buono per la sostituzione della Batteria anche se devo io smontre il joystick nuovo e sostituirla, oramai i joystick originali sony per la ps3 non si trovano quasi più quindi alla fine va bene così !!!!!!!!

The OEM controller functioned perfectly one day, started acting up the next. Time to replace. Of course, everything's PS4 now, and trying to find a local replacement PS3 controller was actually impossible. When I did find one, over twice the price of this replacement product. Decision made, product purchased, received it in about a month. Works perfectly, paired up the the PS3 console first try. Nice to feel solid, crisp controls again.Cool feature; like a cordless mouse it hibernates if you leave it alone for a period of time. You have to press the PS button to re-connect and continue operations. My OEM controller never did that. Hopefully make the battery last longer between charges.Liking it so much, glad I bought 2. Even coming to like the white colour; a bit easier to find in the dark.

This is not an original Sony controller, it is an arguably well-made replica that works but has an auto-off feature of around 20mins which makes it annoying to use as a controller for Netflix which only requires the odd pause or menu every several minutes. I'd return it if not for the fact that it came straight from Asia and took more than a month to get here. Overall disappointment.

Fonctionne très bien. Juste une chose, sur la photo on voit le logo Sony qu'en réalité, il y en a pas et ce qui confirme que c'est une copie et non un original comme il est dit dans la désignation.
