Am I the only one who hates the L2, R2 buttons and the mushroom sticks?

I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 since launch and I never realize how stupid the L2 and R2 buttons really are. I had the chance to play the exact same game on my friend's 360 and the control is just so much better. the 360 trigger works better for firing, and the top shoulder button didn't have any delay when you want to use equipments and even the analog sticks fit your thumbs better than the mushroom design on the Dual Shock 3. When i got home I tried to configure the R2 trigger for firing and it sucks, huge delay and doesn't work well at all.

No wonder there's a madcatz made a controller just for this game, I think I have enough reason to buy it already.

Well you have a few options

1. Buy a pair of these. Real Triggers
2. Buy a 360
3. Take the risk with the madcatz controller. I heard that they had terrible products though.

Apparently so...

Yeah, I love my PS3 and all, but I never did like the controller. I like the fact its smaller than the 360 controllers but I had the mushroom stick tops and I find their location to be a pain as they force your thumbs to the side as opposed to a more natural virtical position. I find the controller fine for most action adventure games but really awkward for shooters. I did go out and get the Madcatz MW2 controller and I can say it is a pretty decent one at that. It feels durable, the L2 and R2 buttons have way more spring to them and the rubber side gripping is a bonus. Only faults with it are the L1 and R1 buttons have a flimsy feel to them and they are very easy to decompress. This means many times I went to to aim down my sights only to jump back to the crosshairs because my finger lifted just a slight bit. This became so annoying that I switched my control scheme to tactical, which I found works alot better. The other thingI dont like is that they still chose the mushroom tops for the control sticks which have a slicker feel than the offical controllers and become very slippery once your thumbs get moist. I have MW2 for both my PS3 and 360 but I prefer to play the 360 version because I like the controller better and more people have mics.

I thought the way they made the R2 and L2 buttons "dip" for the PS3 was a poor choice for Sony. It was better on the PS2, in my opinion.get-ka12

well the L2 & R2 triggers are no problem for me, but you are right about the analog sticks.

pretty much what ravenSquad said as far as the concave and had better grip..then they would be perfect.

I use the R1 and L1 buttines in FPS games formy PS3, seems alot faster then the 360 triggers imo. And i preer the ps3 sticks, the staggered 360 sticks just feel odd.

The analog sticks could definitely be better.

That is awesome. It works just like the show lol.

play bad company shoot and aim is L1/R1

I have no problems with L2 R2 triggers. I actually like'em especially when shooting. ''Mushroom'' sticks are very ergonomic. Mythumbs always feel relaxed and comfortable on those ''mushrooms''.

I know people have their own views on things. BUT anyone that thinks the toggles are fine is kidding themselves. Sony toggles have always been their downfall. They are far too sensitive and the "mushroom" tops are horrible after just a few minutes of playing. My thumbs have always slid off them.

People sticking up for a developers controllers knowing they have faults is like me sticking up for the DUKE , the original Xbox controller. I always "loved" it and swore it was just fine and I still love it..BUT truth be told I got the S-controller as soon as it came out and never looked back.

Xbox controllers are better as far as the toggles go shape and sensitivity wise...

Nope i prefer the Dualshock 3. It just feels more comfortable than the 360 one.JustWiicredible

the only thing i dont like about the ds3 is the analog sticks there should be a crater in them like the 360"s but u can take the rubbers off and go buy new rubbers with craters in them cause the shroom stixs are just to slippery

Hey dont get me wrong...THE 360 toggles need to be angled instead of straight..My thumbs dont rest on toggles straight up and down. THey are always at an angle and end up hurting. So no controller is perfect. N64/Gamecube controllers IM TALKING TO YOU BOTH ALSO!!..

I'm usually good with L1 and R1 as aim and shoot. I have issues with L1 though because like someone else mentioned it tends to ease up and go back to not using the crosshairs. R1 is perfect though.

The sticks definitely could benefit from a concave design though, and possibly more grip. raven_squad

i love my ps3 but the controllers a little small.the xbox360 controller is the most comfortable for me. if the d pad on the 360 controller wasnt so crappy it would be the greatest controler imho!

The ps3 controller fits me better then the xbox the only problem is the shooting button on the ps3 r2 would be better then r1

I don't have a problem playing any games with the Dualshock 3.. I think people may be using them wrong..

I like the sticks on the PS3 more than the 360, don't ask me why, but the precision and control and accuracy I have on PS3 is better than what I have on the 360, as for the L2 and R2 they are better than the buttons on the dualshock 2 but still worse than the 360.

Get a pair of real triggers and your L2 R2 problem will be solved. But since it sounds like you can't stand the award winning design thats been the staple of the PS brand. I suggest you do a internet search on how to mod a 360 controller to work on a PS3 it might be a pain to do though.

if my r2 button is partly broken will the real triggers work?

I also like the PS3 controller over the 360. Although neither one is bad. :)
