One thing I honestly can't get past about the PS3

Call me nitpicky but I simply can't get over how uncomfortable the PS3 controller is compared to the 360. I don't know why, but the 360 one just feels right, and the PS3 doesn't. Anyone else feel the same way?

I like the ps3 controller better.. maybe Im just used to it since Ive been using it since ps1 days.

Both controllers are just fine for me. I did however have issues with the amount of noise the 360 emitted.

If you've been playing since PSone and PS2 I'm pretty sure you would get use to the DS3 since it's the same controller design.

Same here.

I'd like to build my own controller

• dualshake 3 d-pad
• dualshake 3sticks and placement
• 360 overall shape
• sixaxis weight - I like it light
• ps2 shoulder buttons (don't like "triggers" on either) , but with the squishiness of the ps3's instead of the ps2's

I can't play Madden without it.

DS3 feels very plastic like, the 360 is the messiah of gaming controllers right now... ill rather play the Wiimote quiet honestly than the PS3 controller.

No, i like the PS3 controller alot better.djsifer01

I feel the same way.

You again... Quit with the whole messiah thing......

if you have really small girl hands or you are a forigner or maybe was born with a flipper the ps3 controller is probably the right one for you

ok, i don't really think that... it's just that i miss the old funny sw and thought i'd answer that way just so you guys could remember how it used to be

Have no problem with the DS3, though I do like the 360 controller better (is there an official name for the 360 controller btw?)

I know the biggest issue people have is with the left analog stick, but I dont get how people's thumbs manage to touch each other, my thumbs are always angled upwards.

I like both controllers. I use the PS3 one more and the 360 one feels fine too when I pick it up. I don't see why this is such a barrier :|.

I find it terrible for first-person shooters. The triggers and analog placement just don't work for them. I even tried "real triggers" and wasn't satisfied. For everything else, I have no problem with it.

Strange, I feel the opposite. Love how comfortable the Dualshock 3 is and can't stand the 360 controller for more than half an hour.

the "loose"ness of the analog sticks on PS3 controller is better for aiming. i can get 2x more head shots than on 360

I prefer the Dual Shock, it works better for pretty much all games.

i just hate the thumbsticks and the horrid L/R2 buttons. it's not bad on my hands at all

that left thumbstick placement just feels weird always has to me, also the sticks are like mushrooms so it's easier for me to have my thumb slide off

same here, the analogs are too close together and my thumbs ALWAYS graze eachother during FPS games, it just sucks. mtron32

You must have massive hands.

I love the PS3 controller and it got better once I bought the real triggers for 4.99 for the R2 and L2 buttons. The controller feels perfect now.

Absolutely.

I realize that Sony is full of pride, and thinks that the Dual Shock is God's gift to gamers are far as controller design goes. It's not, and it never was.

The 'prongs' are too short and stubby to be of any use ergonomically, the sticks are too loose, too short, and convex, the controller itself is a bit too small, and the triggers are quite possibly the worst triggers I've ever used. They have the crappy feel of the Gamecube triggers, but at least Nintendo managed to get the shape right.

I'd hate to see a handgun designed by Sony.

I'm total opposite, can't play the x360 controller for more than an hour before my hands start to cramp up. bugs the hell out of me why they would put one analog stick up higher on the controller than the other. With the DS3 everything is just so symmetrical, everything just feels right.

Yea, although I don't think the controller would stop me from buying one, i agree

You should've tried the duke from the old xbox. That would've drove you insane.

i feel the same way but its the xbox360 controller that i think sucks and if u look at the button placement they copied it from the ps2 controller

I can't get over how awkward the bumper buttons are on the 360 controller, and don't get me started on the d-pad (worse than a after market pelican controller.) Dualshock design is the most imitated design ever. Why fix what aint broke?
