Next gen - update PS3 controller?

I was just thinking - with the next gen, would you like to see the current PS3 controller updated? Made more ergonomic, comfortable, etc? Or do you like the current controller? Post your thoughts.

I think its perfect the way it is.

i dont know the controller isnt terrible, the only real complaint i have on the controller is the anolog sticks, they seem to break very quick, i thought i was just because of call of duty, but i bought a new one and didnt play a single shooter on it and still the same thing, they start squeaking and getting stuck, SO yeah sony if here reading this fix that and i will still love you, LOL

No way, it's been relatively the same forever. Changing it would through people off. Like how nintendo changes their controller every other couple of years.

I notice that the PS3 controller is made out of a more weaker materiel. I liked the PS2's controller's quality better .The PS4 controller better be made out of a better quality material.

I would hope that sony will change it as I am not a big fan of the analogue placement or the triggers. They could also make it a tad more comfortable to hold as I find it doesn't sit in the hands nearly as well as the 360 controller. Main face buttons and Dpad are perfect though imo.

i want better trigger button designed!

If it works so well why change it?

Yes, I'd like both of the thumbsticks to move forward about an inch and for the controller to be about a half an inch wider from the middle. If the batteries can be made smaller now while still having a long charge, it'd be good for it to be lighter too. For my part, they could do away with the sixaxis motion to do that.

Not so sensitive L3, R3 analogs. While playing COD I have the tendency in the heat of battle of pressing R3 which initiate's the knife swing when I mean to be aiming my gun with R3.

If they made the sticks a little more durable and reworked the R2/L2 triggers a little, I'd still be happy with everything else.

I would like to see L2 and R2 be more "touch" sensitive.it seems like there is a bit offree movement which creates a lag on the relay for me.Thats it!

I agree. The L2/R2 is the DS3's greatest weakness.

It doesn't need a major overhaul, but there are certainly improvements that could be made.DJ_Lae

Exactly my thoughts.

They could definitely make some minor changes. My fingers are always slipping off the analog sticks when I try to do certain things like drive a car. Maybe they could make them concave, or just give them a much softer, grippier surface. The L1 and R1 buttons are also too high - my fingers naturally fall over the L2 and R2 buttons.

No, I love the controller design as it is.

List of changes for next gen :

1. The ring around which the analog stick moves ( the plastic part of the body that it touches ) as well as the stick part ( not the top pad ) need to be METAL.

And thats it. Nothing else. If you play frequently the stick rubbing against that ring of plastic will grind off plastic shavings as well as carve a groove around the stick part of the analog ....stick.

With the above change they would last essentially forever which = less controllers purchased which = this will never happen.

I would never want the ps controller changed. It's the best controller desgin I've ever played with.

If it ain't broken don't try to fix it.

All it needs are improved analogue sticks & better triggers. Job done.

Sony should let EA design their next controller! (Seriously!)

Buy one of these:
EA Sports: Comfort Play Pack

I bought one of these and sweet jesus was it the best thing ive ever bought for my PS3! It makes the controller alot bigger and makes the triggers well triggers... I cant use the DS3 without this pack now!
