I bought this controller because I highly prefer the 360's controller design, but currently only own a PS3. I read reviews for the 360 version and how many actually liked that version more than the official 360 controller, so I figured I should give it a shot. I am incredibly glad that I did. Don't be mistaken, this controller does have a couple of faults (which I will address later), but I can't express highly enough that they do not outweigh the benefits it provides, especially if you want a 360 controller design on the PS3. Many places on the internet you'll see reviews that mention the crazy high quality of the packaging, this is incredibly true. I've noticed since using this controller that I am playing first person games like Modern Warfare 3 with better precision and slightly superior end results as well.
The analog sticks on this controller are very nice, they have a wider base and end, but they also offer less resistance than either the 360 or PS3 controller. I think this adds to the precision your thumbs can aim with. I also enjoy the fact that it came with a separate pair of grips, I've used the rubber ones since I opened it. The only fault I feel that this controller has is the fact that it's wired (though the cable is incredibly long and durably braided). I think that being wired is actually a benefit as well though, because it feels more responsive than a Dualshock.
Now, onto the pleasant surprise of this controller, along with my PS3 I also own a gaming PC which I have hooked up most often to a 50 inch television. This controller is plug and play with Windows 8. As soon as you plug it in Windows finds the drivers for "Wired Tournament Controller for PS3". If you couple this with a key mapping program like Joy to Key or Xpadder, you can emulate keystrokes seamlessly. If you use a 360 controller emulator (like this tocaedit) you can even directly emulate a 360 controller in games which support it. In the end, I highly prefer this controller to any I have ever used, even though the price was steep. I just hope that the build quality is as good as it feels. Overall this is a fantastic product that I cannot suggest enough if you are willing to spend the money.

I want to start off by saying I just can't stand the PS3 Dual Shock controller anymore. The reason being is that my thumbs are HUGE. When Im playing BF3 I constantly keep hitting the D pad and instead of shooting the person I like either throw an ammo crate at them or health pack or switch to rpg. And when im playing NHL 13 EASHL with my friends I hit the D pad as well, changing the plays which causes my firiends to yell at me lol. I am a huge fan of the xbox controller. The controller layout is better than any controller. That being said I wanted a new controller for my PS3 that has a similar layout to the xbox controller. I researched different ones making sure I read about dead zones and stumbled upon this one. Aside from the fancy design, this controller was a perfect match to the xbox controller. I don't mind it being a wired controller because I don't have to worry about charging the dam thing all the time. It has a pretty nice long cord that is threaded. I really like how it has LED lights in the thumb stick area that you can change colors. Theres like no deadzone. Only problem is that of course with most games, I don't know why they don't change this but you can't switch the L1/L2 and R1/R2. I really hope in the future every shooter game does this.
