So which one do you use mostly for fps games?...L1 aim and R1 to shoot or L2 aim and R2 to shoot?

L2 and R2. I was so use to playing on the 360 before I got my PS3. I hated the L1,R2 setup. The only game I can tolorate that in is Bad Company.

L1 R1 because my fingers strain easily and it doesn't need much pressure.

L1 & R1 are better on PS3. 360 is better to use the triggers.

This would have made a decent poll. L1 R1 personally. Guess thats just because I'm so used to CoD now.

At first, I went with the default L1 R1. I got those real triggerz lately and they feel so great I switched to using L2 R2 instead.

Anyone who wants a more comfortable grip and feel for the L2/R2 buttons go buy a pair of real triggerz.

L1 and R1. Seeing as my index fingers are also my trigger fingers it makes sense.

Besides only a badass pulls the trigger with his middle finger.:P

L1 and R1. I used to prefer L2 and R2, but like many I find the SixAxis's convex triggers to be rather awkward.

L1 R1? Com on people. They are simple buttons, You have no control over firing, an or other features. They are not pressure sensitive. I think a lot of the reason what people think L1 and R1 is better because they never had a real chance playing the natural way, you know with triggers?

L1, R1 setup is more natural for the un-ergonomic design of the dualshock controllers. L1 R1 is deff the sweet spot it just feels better, R2 and L2 make the analog sticks feel like I have less control on my character plus the triggers aren't too satisfying for shooting. GTA did it well though.

I prefer L1 and R1 because if there is a Semi-auto gun its much easier and faster to use the button where you have to push less ;) L2 and R2 i find work well with driving games because you can press the button less and you can go slower and push it down all the way to go faster

I think the reason people prefer L1 R1 is because we shoot with our index fingers and if we need to use the triggers L2 R2, you can use our middle fingers or slide your fingers down without needing to change your grip.

L1 to aim

R1 to shoot

But if PS3 controllers have triggers like the 360, I would use the right trigger to shoot.

That's an awesome control configuration. All the important buttons, right there on the top of the controller.

Either! I bought these little attachments to make the L2 and R2 buttons better, so your fingers don't slip off them. Get em for 99p from HMV.
