Who is not happy for ps3 controllers?

PS3's sony controllers they look and feel great, but after a month or 2. It has problems. Like doesnt function properly (white and silver ones).

Then the plastic on r3 button gets ripped. If you use r3 as a run button it gets screwed after a while. If you use r2 alot it gets so soft. The controls are specially important in sports games. It really effects. Im not even playin alot but saw all these problems. They need to make it better. May be they dont want too, they want us to buy and pay controllers every 3 months..thats not good.

Sure make something out of nothing.

yea i wish devs wouldnt use L3 for a sprint button it messed up my sixaxis after playing call of duty 4 alot. I havent had problems with my dualshock thoughGatCloudX

I think the PS controllers are terrible, but not because of button placement or layout. They are just too damn small for my hands. I'm not even that big of a guy and they make my hands ache after an hour or so. If I was a child or a small person they would be fine, but for your average adult male gamer they are way, way too small to be comfortable. If only I could use the 360 controller with a PS3, I'd probably never stop playing Metal Gear.sixgears2

I don't really like them. I also don't like Sony' arrogant "If it ain't broke" mentality, since the Dual Shock 2 was not the perfect controller and the Dual Shock 3 makes some things worse. The triggers are atrocious. I guess some of it might be personal preference, but I cannot see how anyone could prefer the mushy, improperly curved triggers to the 360 pad (or hell, even the Dreamcast). Games that downplay them are fine, but when you need the triggers in a racing game, it becomes amazingly obvious how horrible they are. The sticks shouldn't be convex. The sticks should be tighter - they were on the Dual Shock 2, I don't know what went wrong. Part of it seems to be the implementation of the R3/L3 buttons, since I can yank the sticks up far more than I should be able to and I'm sure that contributes to the looseness. The prongs or handles are too small. They end about halfway down my palms and along with the triggers contribute to the controller's ergonomic nightmare. The build quality is questionable. I've only had my PS3 for seven, maybe eight months and my X button already sticks and squeaks. My right trigger also squeaks. The rumble motors are exceptionally loud and provide remarkably weak feedback - don't know if the design is different, but the 360's rumble is a lot stronger and the only noise it makes is the sound of the controller housing shaking like mad, not the motors themselves. I've got very little against the PS3 itself, but the controller is garbage.DJ_Lae

I have 2 Sixaxis controllers and don't have any problems with them. They work as they should,

Personally, I've always had a strong preference towards the Sony controllers. They feel very comfortable in my hands, which are very small, and I've always liked the button scheme and the feel of the joysticks. Other controllers I've used or tried in the past have always given me problems. Most controllers are murder to small hands, they feel very large and clunky, and often the shape itself is uncomfortable. N64, Gamecube, both XBoxes, the Dreamcast...I can honestly say I've never liked those controllers. They don't look or feel good to me :?

I'm on my 5 controller right now. I've broken 2 of them having it be my fault, but one of the the L2 button grew really soft after playing GTA4 a lot and the button would stay pressed down no matter what. The other one fell from a couch cushion and landed on a carpet floor and the R1 and R2 popped out. I put the buttons back in but they still like to fall out. Their just not very durable. The ps2 controllers I own have been used since I bought my ps2 and i I never had problems with them.

Sony needs to make the controllers tougher though. I don't see why they would though since they have made $200 off me just from controllers.

the playstation controller is contained in the preamble of the unwritten gamer's constitution.

I'm a Playstation gamer since the PS1, no problems at all... i hear some complaints from those who came from other consoles...its just a matter of getting used to it.

The only issue I had with my (white) DS3 is that after a couple of months, the spring that holds up the L2 button snapped making it loose. I ended up taking apart my DS3 and replacing the spring with one from my Sixaxis since I don't use it anymore. Other than that i haven't had any issues. IMO the controller is great. I have pretty big hands (can palm a basketball pretty easily) and I think it's size is perfect, not to big not to small.

The two things I would change is the analog sticks. I like how the 063 xobX analog sticks are contoured, which helps prevent your thumbs from slipping. And i keep the L/R2 buttons the same size, but also make them contoured for the same reasons as the analog sticks.

The only problem I've ever had was with non-Sony controllers back in the day of the PS1. After a few that broke or were generally rubbish I just bought a second official one and that lasted for the lifespan of my machine. My PS2 came with two controllers which both still work fine. My original PS3 controller and the DS one I bought are both fine.

I like the design, find them comfortable and responsive. Never had any issues with any offical Sony controller.
