Powerextra Wireless Controller Compatible with PS-3, 2 Pack High Performance Gaming Controller with Upgraded Joystick for Play-Station 3 (Black)

To be honest, I didnt buy these controllers to use as intended or even to use on a PS3. But I think theyre the most affordable way to build your own custom controller. They work well in Windows and Linux as typical PS3 controllers, and the board is easy to solder to. One thing to watch out for is that there are two common grounds, so be sure to use one ground for L3/R3, Start, Select, PS, and another ground for Triangle, Circle, Square, Cross, D-Up, D-Left, D-Right, D-Down. See my attached pictures for the circuit schematics on how to do that properly.

The response time on the buttons is terrible and super laggy on FPS games. Would not recommend

Both controllers are exactly just like the Sony brand. Only difference is that these are all jet black without any logos.

Hi, they both looked used and repacked. One controllers left joysticks press is faulty. The other one was okay but seemed used. Seller addressed the problem there updating the review.

Works like they said

Batteries dont last long an if you pause game an walk away for a minute they disconnect

It’s only charging to 1 light instead of normally all 4 lights lit up. I have to keep it connected via usb

Given the price of these controllers - and particularly since they come in a 2 pack - I wasnt so sure about what Id be getting. So upon receiving the controllers, I was pleasantly surprised. While they certainly feel light (think about the difference between the original PS3 controller, the SIXAXIS, with the later DualShock3 - if the SIXAXIS is lighter than the DS3, these are lighter still), the controllers do feel good in the hand, button presses are solid as is the d-pad and the sticks have good movement and feel, neither too firm nor too loose. They pair with the PS3 easily and charge fine. I havent had the chance to test the motion controls, so I cant comment on the functionality of those.

The controllers don’t communicate well with the PlayStation. I would not recommend.

Gaming playing Dark Souls II when in play mode on one controller it keeps looking upward in gaming mode. But the other controller works just fine.
