[PS3] anyone ever use 3rd party controllers?

[Maynard]

specifically these ps3 controllers that are designed like the 360 controller

this one seems to be the best option because the others i saw all seem to have dead spots where this one is generally reviewed as responsive

Why the fuck would someone want a PS3 controller shaped like an XBOX controller? The reason PlayStation is awesome is the controller is so easy to hold.

not really the point is it...but if you really want to know the answer start your own thread and ask

If you really want to know the answer to your question, you could look up some reviews online. But instead you came to VSN.

No.

I think you're better off with the Dualshock. 3rd party controllers NEVER have longevity or durability.

did u miss the part of my post where i discussed reviews i saw?

arent u a CM? arent you supposed to be promoting discussion instead of derailing it? or are u too pre occupied with coming up with a clever name change

and people wonder why this site sucks and there is no gaming community to speak of....hey lets add north to the long list of retards who add no value to this site....yeah buddy

next time just save everyone the time and stfu

yeah but i am looking to have something that uses the 360 analog scheme so i started looking around and see only like 3 choices.

I did generate discussion. You asked a question, I gave a response. My opinion is that the 360 controller layout sucks, so no, I've never used a 3rd party fake XBOX controller.

You asked a question, I answered it. Sorry if you didn't like it. If this site sucks so bad, you can leave, because god knows your awful grammar and curmudgeonly bitchfits won't be missed.

You really thanked this post? This was good information? Common knowledge is what you were looking for? Okay, well here goes then ... An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Is that thankworthy too?

I don't have small hands, I just like the comfort level I have with the Sony product.

aaaand thread officially derailed. If you want to talk about generating discussion, this thread has about 8x the posts thanks to me actually making it interesting.

You posted a shitty topic, it got derailed ... boo hoo. That is what happens to shitty topics at VSN. You should already know damn well that 3rd party controllers suck, so why even start the thread?

Did you think someone would disagree with common knowledge just so you could justify your cheapskate purchase? If you don't like the PS3 controller, don't buy a PS3.

What a fucking asshole.....just go away.

Anyway I also like the 360 controller 10 fold over the PS3. I havent tried any 3rd party ones. I think the ones you are looking at are wired correct? I hate wired controllers.

I thought someone made something that made 360 controllers work for the ps3?

Maybe wrong but I thought I saw that somewhere.

Thanks for making three consecutive posts, two of which were useless.

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I like both systems' controllers but anyways

The Power A that jms posted seems to be the recommended one from offtopic, as well as the first one you posted Maynard

I'm not a fan of 3rd party accessories at all. I thought the 360 controller was the perfect design, but I am fine with the PS3 controller.
