Rumbles as expected
Adjusted to the controller movements quickly and now I don't even notice. Still in good working condition after 3 months of daily play. Not much else to say - all works smoothly - the buttons, the sticks, and the vibrating. It's taken a hard knock or two falling to the floor and hasn't been affected - a definite plus.

Original Equipment Rocks
Nothing says Christmas for my boys like video games. Unfortunately, each year is pretty rough on their controllers, but count on Amazon to always have replacements. These are Original equipment from Sony so they are as durable as you'd expect them to be unlike many of the cheap substitutes that just don't work for more than a week or two.

Great controller
Great controller. Actually there aren't many choices out there. I got scared away from the reviews of the other non-Sony controllers. Since this is on sale from Amazon, it was only a bit more expensive than the others, so the decision to buy this was easy.

Best controller for the PS3
Product: Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller, by Sony.Rating: 4 1/2 starsLIKES:* QUALITY: In my experience, when it comes to controllers for the PS3, you pretty much get what you pay for. Over the years, I've owned a PS1, a PS2, and a PS3, and at various times I've tried 3rd party controllers in an attempt to add multiplayer capability at a more reasonable price ... and unfortunately, I've rarely been happy. As long as you can afford it, this seems to be the best controller you can get for the PS3 ... it has the best balance of heft, solid construction, good tactile resistance in the buttons and thumbsticks, excellent durability, good vibration feel, good communication range, reasonably fast charge time (2.5 hrs or less), and a long-lived battery.NITS:* Price: Authentic Sony controllers are expensive ... but as mentioned above, you generally get what you pay for.* Charging Cord not included: You'd think that in purchasing a spare/replacement controller that it would come with a charging cord, right ? Nope. Sony deliberately omits it, and instead instructs customers to "use the one that comes with your PS3". I recently purchased a charging station to eliminate that bottleneck ... which was probably Sony's goal in witholding charging cords from their spare controllers.* Minor design issues:(a) when putting the controller down during active play, there's an occasional tendency for one of the L2/R2 buttons to activate if you're not gentle. A pair of small support feet on the front of the controller, placed just behind and below those 2 buttons, would solve that.(b) I wish the charging cord connector port was indented slightly, to be self-guiding, to make connections faster and more eyes-free.(c) L3 & R3 are too easily unintentionally activated while using the sticks for movement in many games ... case in point is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where you FREQUENTLY end up squatting in mid-combat, while maneuvering during a melee, which is very frustrating. They need to increase the activation pressure for L3/R3 slightly in order to solve that.Bottom line: I've tried several other brands, and even though the Sony controller is the most expensive among them, it's also the best. Highly Recommended.

Comfortable, ergonomic design, rumble- Fun!
This controller is a fine addition to your gaming rig. It is identical to the one that comes with your PS3 system. I have tried off-brand ones and they feel cheap and kind of flimsy when playing with them. I recommend buying the Sony one because it feels "right". Sofar we have put hundreds of gaming hours on this controller and have yet to see it misfire once. I also recommend buying the Playstation 3 Energizer Power & Play Charging System . The price for the charger is really cheap and holds 2 of these controllers.Pros:>> OEM feel and function>> Wireless controller with the PS3Cons:>> Some wear noted around the L3 and L2 joystick (maybe lube with graphite dust).All in all a fine addition to your PS3.Thanks for reading my review.

You should think first!
Well, I bought this controlled few months ago and I am using it for both PC and Mac. If you want to use it in PCs then its perfectly fine and handle almost all the games. I also tried to used it on mac book, but some of the games like Assassins Creed does not support controller for Mac Book. So, you must be careful before you purchase it. If your sole purpose is for gaming in Mac then see if the game that you are interested supports controller in Mac. Have fun! Overall this products is great if your game supports it.

Great item.
The controller has a heavier feel to it than the issued one for PS3. What can I say that wasn't mentioned on other reviews. This product works great. My only gripe is that PS3 should have made the dualshock the issued controller.

Just What I Wanted
It was very affordable, with free shipping, and came before the estimated delivery date, which makes me giddy! It feels great in my hands, the buttons all work and click properly and it came damage-free. I'd totally buy from them again if I needed a secondary controller!Edit: After I had a few days to play with it, I found that buttons are stiff, slow to respond and the left joystick has funtional errors when fully moving left in certain games. The R2 button made annoying clicking sounds and the controller shuts off after 3 minutes of inactivity. I WON'T buy another one used from China!

Purchased these in July 2014, updated my review in May 2015.These are original Sony PS3 controllers and they work great, they have fallen and gotten their fair share of abuse and they are still working.NOTE: Don't buy the cheap imitation stuff from China. I made that mistake on eBay and the batteries lasted only 2 months and the remotes broke within 3 months.

I followed another reviewers advice-if you want a REAL sony controller, just look for a plain black one and spend the 40 + $ ( an investment, my fellows.) Also, get a silicone skin to protect your investment! Then it will last for you.

Not much to say, it does what it was made for.
Good thing about this, is that it’s available in different colors.And if you only have one controller, like any other wifi device that receives a lot of usage, you MUST get a second one so you could have on standby when the other runs out of juice.

Works as expected
I bought this to replace my original stock PS3 six axis controller from way back when. Works exactly as expected, albeit it's a bit heavier than the six axis due to the added rumble feature. Buying first party accessories is always the way to go, IMO.

PS3 No Wires!!!
Love these controllers. I have two of them, and they work fantastic. Battery life is really good, especially if you set them to turn off after 5-10 minutes of no use via the PS3 accessory menu.I also love the ergonomics of the controller. Its fits nice and secure in your hand. Cant go wrong with black. Mine still look new!

No other charger comes close to the actual sony brand. It is not cheap, but worth the extra expense. SIXAXIS is the way to go, other controllers don't come close for control, especially in shooter games.

Works now and has worked perfectly since I bought it although I don't use it anymore
The controller is good for what it is. Still works perfectly even when I leave it sitting, getting dusty. Clean it off, charge it and works as it should. The controller in general however is so uncomfortable. I've always hated the dualshock controllers until the PS4. Sony released an update that allows you to wirelessly use a dualshock 4 controller on PS3 so now that I have two dualshock 4 controllers, my new one is for my PS4 and my old one is only used for PS3 now. This controller is sitting in the back of a drawer and probably will forever.

Got this for my son and husband, as they needed a second remote for our PS3 and it works great. It's matte so the feel is very smooth. It connected right to our PS3 when we plugged it in and works really well wirelessly. I'm glad we decided to go with this one because I read a lot of bad reviews beforehand, about other remotes on Amazon and felt that this one is the best one. And it really is!

PS3 Controller
Bought this as an extra so I could charge it while I was gaming... that way I do not have to wait for my controller to charge and pause at the good parts of the game (which is always when they die). For some reason, the handle parts feel different, but overall I am happy with my purchase!

GREATEST CONTROLLER ON THE MARKET!
Hey guys! I have been buying these controllers a lot! Do not I repeat DO NOT buy the controller from stores at all! The stores have completely updated and recent controllers! This one is an older version, it is built to last. ONLY BUY THIS CONTROLLER.PROS:1. EASILY FITS YOUR HANDS!(The PS3 controller is by far the most comfortable I've used since the N64 Console. Controller has few buttons compared to some I have seen. Buttons are easily reachable, in the right position. Handling the controller is very easy, I can play for hours and not get hand cramps. LOVE THE PS3 CONTROLLER. EMBRACE ITS POWER.2. DURABILITY!(Man oh man is this bad boy built to last! Don't worry about Dropping it!!!! I have dropped it 100+ times on a non carpeted floor and still works perfectly fine! Left and Right toggle will last a long time depending how much you use them. Mostly depending on which game you're playing, whether it being Need for Speed or NHL 14!)3. BATTERY LIFE!(I was a skeptic when I first heard of WIRELESS CONTROLLERS. Always questioning the battery life. Then I finally bought a PS3 in November 2012. First fully charged my controller, Played 36 hours straight and still had battery life with two bars out of three. I was like Holy Hell! I've been playing that long, and it doesn't need to be charged yet?)CONS:1. NONE WHAT SO EVER! PRICE SHOULD GO DOWN THOUGH, CONSIDERING THE NEW AWAITED PS4 IS OUT.

Works out of the box with Mac OS X Lion!
Okay, so there are already more than a thousand reviews for this product. I just wanted to add that this works great as a wireless (Bluetooth) joypad for playing games on the Mac.I've had both an original PlayStation and a PS2, and the controllers have always been great. I wasn't crazy about the thought of buying some unfamiliar gamepad for use with some emulated games, but I was relieved to find that it works with Mac OS X Lion out of the box! I really like that it charges over USB (although you apparently need a USB host on the other side, not just a 5V power source like a wall adapter), and has an internal battery.Oh, and I'm sure it works great as a PS3 controller, too. :)

HOW2 USE PS4 CNTRL WITH BLUTTH TO PS3 GUIDE... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work)
HOW2 USE PS4 CNTRL WITH BLUTTH TO PS3 GUIDE... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work)YEAH... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work), the PS4 controller lasts much longer, is more solid and just plays much better than the Sony PS3 Controller.So, the last 2 of the Official Sony PS3 Controllers lasted about a month before they started dropping from connection and powering off constantly on their own and the joysticks go sloppy (it works, but just useless, aiming is lost)! The one that came with my PS3 barely lasted a year before it completely fell apart!I'm now using a PS4 controller (which I got over a year ago and it still feels very good), which is far superior, it feels much better, I feel I have much more control, though I'd definitely do some design changes if this were my product to make it much better, like very short joy stick stems (maybe no stem at all) and options to disable buttons and etc....Anyway.... The PS4 controller is much better, though with a Sony PS3 Playstation (that's right, I'm using it with my PS3 - THREE).... the vibrate doesn't work (I don't really miss that though) and the Sony Playstation (PS) button doesn't work.... I only play Battlefield 4 on my PS3, so no big deal, you can't quit out of BattleField 4 with the PS4 controller, you have to power off and power on the PS3, or use a PS3 controller to quit games (you can use a PS3 controller that only the PS button works, like an old broken one... which is what I do). So if you want to quit out of BF4 and want to use YouTube, or Netflix, you have to power off, or use a PS3 controller and it's PS button.HERE'S HOW TO CONNECT A PS4 CONTROLLER AS WIRELESS BLUETOOTH TO A SONY PLAYSTATION PS31) Using a PS3 Controller (or other means) POWER UP YOUR PS3 (PS buttons powers up the PS3, it does not have to be plugged into PS3, you can power up wirelessly with bluetooth) and at the PS3 main menu, scroll over left to SETTINGS.2) scroll down to ACCESSORY SETTINGS3) scroll down to MANAGE BLUETOOTH DEVICES4) scroll down to REGISTER NEW DEVICE and hit ENTER (X)5) a window will open on the PS3 that says START SCANNING, hit ENTER (X), a SCANNING PLEASE WAIT sign is displayed5) on the PS4 Controller hold down the SHARE + PS BUTTON until the front large flat light starts to flash quickly (you need to hold both buttons for a while, like 3 to 5, maybe even 10 seconds), it should connect almost immediately and display on the PS3 - WIRELESS CONTROLLER once it's found your PS4 controller.6) on the PS3 Controller hit ENTER (X), it should display REGISTER COMPLETE and that's it! NOW YOU CAN USE EITHER CONTROLLER TO WIRELESSLY CONTROL YOUR PS3 (though on the PS4, the PS Button and Vibrate don't work... not big deal, right?).That's about it!Robert MooreSilicon Beach Design Studio @ JOHNAVATAR.comSilicon Beach, CA 90402Email: JohnAvatar@JohnAvatar.com#MiRADIO #MiCLOCK #MiMUSIC (at the Apple App Store and on Twitter...)

NO complaints.
I have purchased about 8 of these during my time of owning a Ps3. My only complaint is that they cannot withstand being destroyed by an angry drunk. They always come working as they should. They even withstand being thrown repeatedly around the house. I can usually fix them if stuff comes out. But there are those days (not recently) where they end up in more than one piece and i just can't fix that...

After charging the controller, it works right out of the box. The dual shock works great and stays charged for a LONG time before putting it back on the charger. Some don't have the PS button on front middle, but this one does. It is truly a Sony controller.

Great extra controller
My husband already has one of these that came with his system, but I got him this as a second for when the first dies or playing 2 player games. I was a little surprised to see that it doesn't come with the cord, but that's the way it is sold in stores, too, so I guess they will have to charge separately. I don't foresee this being a huge problem, and better than buying an additional cord that won't be used often. These stay charged really well and charge relatively quickly. I ordered the black to match the other controller my husband has, as well as his system. The packaging for the controller looks great and has never been opened, and I received this very quickly after ordering it (I live in Hawaii, so quick shipping is ALWAYS a plus). 5 stars all around!

Good controller, definitely worth getting instead of knockoffs
First off I have to say those looking at other controllers online seeing them for 20 dollars or less, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER BUYING THEM! Though some may look very similar to real brand name, these knockoffs are cheap Chinese creations that often perform only as good as their quality allows; which is not much. I would recommend that you put the extra cash into getting this official ps3 controller. It performs great, the battery is long lived, at around 4-6 hours of play (and I play alot), the weight is little hefty but feels good in your hands. Just make sure you already have a usb charging cable for them, or get one when you buy it. I also like the feature if you hold down the PS button with a already connected controller, it will power on the ps3 if it is off. Also the wireless version is worth it, no wires gives you so much freedom to move where you want, how you want, and no worrying about pulling out cords accidently or tripping over them (I used to always do this with my ps2 lol).Overall I highly recommend this controller over any others, worth every penny.

Received a "Knock-Off" Product
I have to admit, it did almost convince me it was an official Sony controller. At a glance, you'd never know the difference.Once I used it, however...the buttons are abnormally hard to press down (enough that I noticed it immediately), and the sticks are not calibrated correctly. You can press forward perfectly straight 12 'o clock, and the result will be as though you pressed it forward anywhere between 10 'o clock and 2 'o clock. This will be a MASSIVE annoyance in virtually any game.Upon closer inspection, and comparing it to another genuine Sony PS3 controller I have, I noticed a dead give-away: the serial numbers are nothing alike.My recommendation would be to buy from a different seller. This one is selling fakes (and not even good ones).

Ohhh yea its back!
It may have took a little over a year but Sony finally released a true PS3 controller. One of the things I like about the DS3 is that it seems much more sturdier and durable unlike the cheap feeling six-axis. I am currently playing gta4 and the rumble works great in it. The only downside is that not every game supports the rumble like Call of Duty 4 but that doesn't matter to me that much because the feel is what brings it all together for me. It's everything I hoped for in a controller.

The lowest price for official Sony controllers
When I purchased my 2 controllers they were only 35 a piece, which was a huge savings over buying them in a brick and mortar store. They are much higher quality than the 3rd party knockoffs, and will last a long time as long you don't spill anything on them, which is how I ruined my original controller (oops). I actually like storing them in the plastic molds they were shipped in, to keep them protected from dust and toddler hands when not in use.

Awesome
My ps3 controller was starting to malfunction, so I decided it was time for a new one. I checked Wal-Mart and they were around 50 bucks! Same with game stores. So I checked amazon and once I saw they were sold here for much cheaper I decided to buy one. It came earlier than expected. It's not a knock off if any of you are wondering. But beware, there is no charger cord. That wasn't a problem for me because I already have one. But anyone buying one should know. I'll probably but another one soon.

Awesome Controller and Everything is Perfect How is Was Made!!!
This controller is the best normal device used for the PS3 ever created. I love everything about it. Fits in hands very smoothly and evenly. The shape and structural design is perfectly symmetric. The buttons and analog sticks are placed at perfect locations making it easy and convenient to press. Extremely lightweight and easy to connect to your PS3. Problem is that you need to re-sync it to your system every time if it connects to another different system before. The battery on this lasts quite a while though. I like these controllers a lot and glad I bought the genuine SONY one.

Still the best design out there. Buy from a reputable store. Lots of fakes out there
This is the perfect replacement if you are looking to add or replace. I would caution you against anything priced less than $39 however. I tried, and I got a fake one. Go for this one, and it will connect immediately, the battery lasts a long long time, and there is no delay between the command and the game as there is in the fake ones.

Great Product!
PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller Product is as described on site. I enjoyed the Dualshock 2 controllers on the PS2 and I greatly enjoy the new Dualshock 3 controllers. Awesome having the wireless capability that is compatible with PS2 games as well. A charge lasts relatively long (about 5 days playing a lot). For some reason to me, the Dualshock 3 controllers feel cheaper in quality because they are matted. The Dualshock 2 controllers had a glossy finish to it and it felt sturdier. This is just me being very picky. Overall, great product, the only true controller for the PS3. Hope they don't change the signature controller.

Works great
I've had this controller for just under two years now. Still works great. The "action" is still good. Very pleased that it has lasted this long. I guess it is used about an average amount. There are so many devices and games the kids use now.

So sad when my old one broke...so happy when this got to my house. It's so strange having a controller that holds a charge for more than half an hour.

No Cord
I bought this for the cable, as much as for the controller. Even though it implies it comes with a cable, "To Connect or Charge the Controller use the USB Cable", it does NOT come with a cable. This controller works great and is fully compatible with the PS Three.

Genuine PS3 controller works as well as one would hope.
I bought this controller as a 2nd controller for a refurbished machine which included only one refurbished controller. Not being a stranger to controllers for Playstation consoles it's every bit as good as any OEM Playstation controller that I've ever handled.A few of the interesting details that I noticed is that the "Charcoal Black" finish is slightly textured and matches the body of the slim PS3 very nicely—though it may eventually wear smooth where the hands contact it within a few years). Also, I've noticed that the battery on this is extremely good and outlasts the 6-8 hours of use that the refurbished controller lasts so I find myself charging it a lot less frequently than the refurbished one.One thing that I found a bit unfortunate is that my particular unit—this may just be how mine was assembled or how the plastic was polished—was that creaks a little when the grips are squeezed with moderate force. It's really a minor thing, but other people's OEM PS3 controllers haven't made any creaking what so ever and neither does the refurbished one. It'll likely settle in a bit and stop creaking as the controller gets used a bit more.Overall it's really hard to beat an OEM Playstation controller in terms of build quality and overall feel—I've yet to find an aftermarket controller with a similar button layout that feels as good in my hands.

FAKE CONTROLLER. Worth 5 bucks.
The reviews here seemed pretty back and forth about whether or not it is real, and I've came to the conclusion that most of these sold are fake. It really is impressive how well they hid it though, since they look genuine from the logo to the overall quality of the controller. The only big thing that stuck out was that they were using the Japanese packaging when the dualshock 3 first launched, instead of the newer 2013+ packaging that looks fairly similar to the Dualshock 4's packaging. That, and the label on the back is not the same kind of sticker material the genuine controllers use, they also contain different info. Other than that it looks almost identical (with some very minor things different).The controller wont charge, even after been connected for hours t the PS3. aste of money , dont buy.Final verdict is that if you're looking for a dualshock 3, your best bet is probably going through an actual store, since all the ones here on amazon seem to be either 3rd party controllers or most likely a chinese ripoff, which I find really weird odd the PS3 is still alive and well. Of course, these controllers should work, but if you're already paying 45-60 dollars on one, then get a genuine one instead of this.

You have to get OEM, these always work great!
Nice OEM controller to replace a old worn out one. This is a OEM SONY CONTROLLER and in my book worth every penny when you need one. Cheap controllers last a fraction of the time and then usually have connection issues, not this one - it's PERFECT every time. Price is competitive and as always Amazon ships FAST!!

thanks, china. it worked 31 days. too long to return, not long enough to enjoy my favorite games. money gone.
well, good job, china. you have now taken the confidence out of anything remotely electronic. this thing worked for just a bit longer than the return policy. has to be a fake because if sony themselves flooded the world with unreliable crap like this we would all be buying xboxes. so. $35 gone down the toilet. ill have to go to a brick and mortar store and hope that they get theirs from sony. don't do it unless you have money extra, to burn, in which case ill give you my address and you can mail me a check and ill send you the same crap youll get from this order.

Excellant except No USB 2.0 Included
Only thing its missing is usb cable 2.0 for re-charging that you have to buy,if you lost original that came with PS3 system ,or can use any other usb 2.0 you saved somewhere. if you have played PS1 ,PS2 and now PS3 .Shape of PS3 controller isn`t changed and sony kept its originality but made a lot of tech. advancement within it to make it perfect for wireless connection with long battery life.Still Retail stores are selling it arround 60 bucks so amazon is way to go to save money.

Good Quality controller
What else can be said of the product other than it is good quality workmanship. To think that we are now heading to the PS5 and I still have this controller working without a problem speaks volumes about the quality of it. I bought this as an extra controller because my other one, the battery would die and I would have to wait until it charged again, not anymore! The buttons and ergonomic layout of the controller feels comfortable in hand and makes the gaming experience that much sweeter. Highly recommend, if you're in need of a controller for your PS3.

Almost perfect
This controller works very well and has a long battery life. I've always liked the placement of the buttons on the PS2/PS3 controllers as it feels more natural to me than the XBOX controller. I love that you can charge the controllers through the USB port in the PS3 and seems to be a better value and less confusing than the XBOX controllers (wired, battery powered wireless, chargeable battery pack wireless). However, I think the XBOX controller's trigger is better because the trigger is curved like a trigger. I bought these triggers ( PS3 Dual Triggers ) and they make these ps3 controllers perfect. I've never tried 3rd party controllers with the PS3 (I have never bought any 3rd party controllers since having bad experiences with the SNES and Sega Genesis).
