PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller with Rumble <<< more detail ::

By K. Yang (USA) - reviews

- This controller feels great in my hands. I like how the left analog stick and the d-pad locations are swapped. Biggest selling point for me as I prefer it for most of the games I play. I've got nothing against the Dualshock 3(great for SF4).

- The quality of this controller is top notch. The rubber exterior feels good.

- The sticks and buttons feel great. The sticks have a good resistance to them. Not too loose and not too hard.

- Built in rechargeable battery is very nice. Recharges like the DS3. Battery lasts for dozens of hours(haven't timed it yet).

- Good wireless connectivity. Can sit up to about 25-30 ft away.

The Not-so-good:

- The "enhanced" triggers on this controllers aren't really enhanced. Sure they curve out instead in curving in but the travel distance is half of the DS3. On some games, you have to press them all the way down to register the press.

- There is no Sixaxis controls so you'll have to switch controllers for games that utilize Sixaxis controls.

- I wish it was Bluetooth. Can't start up the PS3 by pressing the "Home" button.

- Clicking down on the sticks is louder than most controllers(Just me being nitpicky).

- The USB receiver is a bit too big for my liking. Again, me nitpicking.

- D-pad isn't that great. Not as good as the DS3 but better than the 360 d-pad.

- I wish the tops of the analog stick were concave(360) instead of convex(DS3).

Overall, a great alternative for those who prefer the 360 layout to the DS3. Highly recommended.
