ET8801 Controller for Ps-3, PC Wired Controller, Wireless Bluetooth Controller Gamepad Joystick Double Vibrating Controller for p-s-3 with Charger Cable Cord Thump Grips,Black

Arrived on time in good order .exactly what I ordered. It works OK. I will update in a few weeks to see how it's going .

I bought this as the PS4 DualShock isn't supported on some older PS3 titles, and I needed it to help assist with some multiplayer trophies without the hassle of looking for boosting partners online. A quick look around the web and it appears Sony don't seem to be selling the original one anymore (or it's harder to find).This was listed for £12.99 at the time of purchase with a 5% promotional discount, that alone makes it an absolute bargain considering the PS3 DualShock cost upwards of £50.The controller seems lighter than the original, definitely not as heavy as a DualShock 3 and more akin to the original SixAxis, but it connected to my PS3 and charged immediately and I was away after a couple of hours. All buttons feel sturdy, had no lag (playing an FPS game), very responsive and there is a decent vibration function too. My only gripe would be the thumb sticks are a little stiffer than my other controllers, though it may just be that my primary PS3 controller is approaching 13 years of wear and tear.I managed to platinum Resistance 3 using it in tandem with my main controller and it lasted the full 2 hour session, with battery status still at full when I turned the system off. I've just switched my controller on several days after last using it and it's still at full health. Time will tell just how it holds up in terms of durability and battery life, but initial reactions i'm pleasantly surprised, you just can't go wrong for less than £13.

The controller came with the cable and paired to the console very easily, although before pairing I ran it through a test routine on another machine and it initially came up as an xbox controller, then a generic gamepad, after pairing I tried it again and it came straight up as ps3 controller and passed all relevant tests. The buttons and thumb controls feel reasonable and are responsive enough. The advert states “ with Charger Cable Cord Thump Grips” ok, there is a cable for charging but what thumb grips? There is no extra grips or covers in the box so this line is a little confusing. All in all, a decent item for a sensible price, not oem quality but not £50 either. Recommend this for a low cost replacement or second controller.

Perfect replacement controller for PS3 at a decent price.

Right analog stick sensor stuck down so unable to play any games due to camera angle panning down constantly.

Needed another controller for my PS3. I don't use it often so didn't want to spend a lot on an official controller. This has acted as a great budget alternative.Design is very similar with only noticeable difference in feel are notches on the back of the handles which comfortable fit your fingers and give something for your fingers to grip onto which is a design improvement over the official. Buttons are clicky and give good feedback when pressed and joysticks are smooth as expected. Controller is lighter than the official which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your preference.Only slight drawback is the battery life of the controller seems slightly less than the official one. I may be wrong as this is purely anecdotal and I've not completed any proper tests or benchmarks. Given the price it's only a minor drawback however, hence the 5 stars as it's definitely value for money.

On the whole, for the price this is a decent alternative to the now rare-as-hens-teeth original DualShock 3 controllers (which I am using to compare this controller against). It feels quite sturdily put together, looks neat, and functions well enough for the most part.The main issue I have is that the trigger sensitivity reaches 100% when the trigger is depressed by only around a third of its total travel. That means for racing games like Gran Turismo, you'll be constantly lighting up the rear tyres, or locking the brakes. The joysticks are better, but not by much - still reaching 100% before the extremities of their travel.Lastly, the vibration intensity on the controller I have received is pretty poor. Other reviews and question answers praise theirs, and maybe mine will loosen up after a few hours of use, but out of the box I can barely feel it.

works well, lets see how long it lasts.
