What are the L2/R2 buttons like on this controller? I feel like my fingers are always slipping off the ones on the Dual Shock 3.

Can I use this on my PC?

Just purchase a set of these and I promise you will no longer have any problems with your fingers slipping off the triggers:

Amazon provides them for $5 shipped. I have a set for each of my controllers and I can't go without them.

I use these. They work great. A PS3 controller doesn't feel right to me anymore without these on.

Cool, I'll check those out. Thanks.

So is this thing wireless or corded?

MY God do people just not have the time to click on Page 1 and then click on the link to find product description? Sheesh all the questions that get posted that could be answered in 3 seconds just clicking on the link. Dont be that lazy.

I'll be picking mine up in about a hour here. Grandma took the boy today so I'll have some time to play with it. I'll be sure to chime in with my feelings about it.

I ended up getting the Mini Pro Elite by Power A, and while it is a little pricier, it is just fantastic. Here is my review of it on Amazon, titled "Excellent Controller, BUT.." Be sure to check out that video review there as well, really helped me. I like this controller even better than the original 360 controller, which is (or I guess was) my favorite controller. You could also check out the Batarang style controller by Power A, same 360 layout. My friend uses the Afterglow PS3 controller with the 360 layout and says its very good also

Thanks I looked into all three. The batarang looks really cool hahaha. But all the reviews say they have dead zones so I think I'll have to pass. Do all 3rd party controllers have this problem?

Meanie. You coulda just answered the redundant question instead of being a douchebag in the time it took you to type up this response.

/sarcasm

My favorite controller back with the ps2. Not sure I'll bite because of the cord though I understand it's needed to power the fans.

I also use these triggers on my controllers. I was playing Castlevania: LOS and you have to hold the R2 button a lot and my fingers kept slipping. This is a good product and I highly recommend them.

When does the extra 50% trade in start at best buy? And has anyone else noticed that the best buy trade in thread completely disappeared?

You must not have looked hard enough for the BB trade thread cuz here it is: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=312640

And the 50% promo started the day after the 100% one ended, which was last Saturday.

I look forward to it.

My little bro bought one for the 360 and loves it.

I bought a Mad catz Black Ops PS3 controller and it was crap, so I'm very interested to see if this will be any better.

I playe through a level on Killzone 3 just a little bit ago. I am loving it! I'm not getting any dead spots, I did need to turn up the sensitivity a bit. I really dont have any gripes with it, the cord may be a little short for some people (10ft), My tv is about 9 ft from the couch so I think victory laps around the coffee table may be out of the question. I highly recommend it for anyone that likes the xbox controller over the ps3 controller. I can finally play competitive shooters on my ps3 now with out getting raped.

Picked this up this morning and played some Borderlands and I have to admit, it feels pretty solid. The triggers have a bit of a resistance but I'm sure once I get used to the new controller, everything will feel right. Blue LED lights are pretty nice, as is the built-in fan. I say this is definitely a good buy, considering it's only 9.99. I have the COD: Black Ops PS3 controller and I would say I prefer this controller to the Black Ops one. Hopefully my review helps someone make up their mind if they are on the fence about it.

Oh yeah, forgot to add. I have no issues with the dead spot zones, as Daz is so that's two people without any problems. Hopefully more people can chime in.

I don't like wires but this is a deal for those who can take it.

Cord kills it. I'm sure the kids would be tripping on it and wouldn't understand why a controller needs a cord. lol
