I got one of these this past christmas as a gift. Though it wasn't an official PS3 controller, I was willing to give it a shot ( even with the odd apparently "better" location of the left stick) as I know controllers are ridiculously over priced. It worked fine up until just now. The right stick started getting stuck in the left, down, and right position and the only thing I could safely do was push it up...not very helpful. It didn't last very long and to be honest, I wasn't a fan of the left stick being shifted (didn't feel right). Not terribly happy with this controller. It looks cool with the lights but that doesn't really matter if it doesn't work.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me

2 years ago I wanted to buy a new ps3 controller. I decided to get this one because it was cheaper and the idea of glow-in-the-dark looked cool because I play in the dark. I got the green one (even though I wanted the red one). It was great. It was responsive, and every time the lights worked. One day I was playing Black Ops. I wanted to throw a flashbang so I pressed L2. Then the L2 button broke off. That made the rest of the round a little harder. Now, whenever I want to throw a tactical item, I have to reach into the slot and push a little trigger. The product is still good overall though.

I purchased one of these controllers for my PC (in blue). It was detected as an Xbox360 controller without issue. I use it primarily for driving as a kb/mouse just doesn't cut it for me. It's been in use for several months without issues. Feels good in your hand, decent weight. I wouldn't suggest throwing it at a wall though. The switching of the controller stick/pad set up is no big deal. If you can't adapt you fail. I discovered an interesting feature that I haven't seen mentioned. My LED's were not lighting up. While trying to figure out the problem I noticed a button on the bottom of the controller. Thinking it was some form of reset button and hoping it would fix my problem, I pressed it. Lo and behold it was a switch to turn the LED's On/Off. Amazing! If your LED's are not working, depress the switch on the bottom and see if that doesn't fix it.

Enjoy! ;)

SWEET, IT LIGHTS UP!!!! Oh, wait, NOT sweet: the left joystick and the D-pad are switched! This makes playing with it difficult at first unless you're already used to the X-box 360 controls which is exactly the same. If you have a PS3 but not a 360 like me, playing 2 player with a friend who has a 360 but not a PS3 will become an even match if an afterglow controller is being used by player 2 because both players will be used to the controls. THERE ARE 4 MAIN DRAWBACKS: 1) GETTING BEAT DOWN BY FRIENDS USED TO THE X-BOX 2) The lights are a bit TOO BRIGHT (in my opinion) 3) GETTING USED TO THE NEW SET UP of your new controller 4) THE PLASTIC IS WEAKER AND BREAKS EASIER in order to let the light shine through.

I own 3 of these in different colors. Whenever my wireless dies I can just plug this baby in and continue my game. I don't play Battlefield or MW but playing games like mass effect and skyrim I can't tell the difference. Except that its plugged in. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 10. I have had mine for a year and not one LED is gone.

Not Too bad.

Posted 3/22/12

This controller is not all that bad, but playing Mortal Kombat is kind a hard, if you want to do special moves, or Fatalties, plus you're always jumping.

i try to use this while playing mw3, and i did terrible, its not a good controller for any fps or cod or bf3, i tried using this for another game and it worked fine, the only problem is the button lay out , the d-pad is like an xbox controller, so the anaologs are like xbox, but other then that not to bad, but not the best.

I have owned two of these so far in the past, And they are great if you need a replacement controller. Yes the light can be a little blinding at times but its overall a good controller, lasts about 7 months, depending on the gamers playstyle.

It's fine for netflix and stuff like that, but for games (especially COD, MW2, MW3) it's way too hard to control. Not to mention the arrows and the joystick for the left hand were reversed. Very confusing when you're used to a regular ps3 remote control. I thought it would be better to buy the cheaper controller as an extra, but it's not worth it. Get the ps3 controller; so much better.
