  • True wireless PS2 experience
The controller came with these minor surface scratches across its whole face (it's more visible in person). First, it was a BIG downer since I paid 21% extra import tax to get this controller and it's tough to get rid of scratches on matte surfaces. But thanks to my OCD acting up, I managed to reduce/remove some scratches just by "polishing" it with skin on my finger and ordinary cloth :D the surface is easy to scratch but is of good material. The packaging was really good so I'm not sure how these minor scratches appeared on the controller, but it could happen while shipping I guess. Other than that I'm completely satisfied with the controller: - vibrations are good, only slightly weaker than dualshock. That could be a good thing sometimes, cause some games vibrate way to much even it cut scenes and then your hands feel funky with this strong dualshock rumble - I saw people complaining about 2-stage button sensitivity but I compared it with DualShock 2 on GTA San Andreas and with Defender it was easier to accelerate the car at 4 different levels of speed... It was actually quite hard to mimic with DualShock in my opinion... So they are definitely NOT 2-way switches and the motion seems nice and analog... maybe even better than DS. People saying it's 2 way switch probably test on bad games. - On PC where you can adjust sensitivity the analog sticks are fine. But on PS2 where it's not possible they are way too sensitive (they are still good and you can get used to it with practice). It would be PERFECT IF they had a wider range of motion.. the full throttle activates too soon. - R2/L2 triggers are too sensitive and R1/L1 are too hard :D soft ones are prone to accident presses and hard ones are prone to accident de-presses. For example in metal gear solid 3 I couldn't stay in the first person while shooting, because when I focus on pressure sensitive button I also slightly lose pressure on the R1 trigger which deactivates first-person mode. If those triggers were a little softer, it wouldn't be a slight problem. - D-pad is not that bad. I like how it feels. - Minor pro: I saw that the DsHidMini driver plans to also support RF Defender :) wonder if I'll still need my USB dongle or if it will be possible to connect to the PC even without dongle (for example if I lost it, that would be a super cool last option) ... show more

  • A must need for a retro game collector
This paddle is a must for.and retro gamer who wants the modern accommodation of a wireless paddle. Charges fast. I mainly use it to play my PlayStation2 but it can also be used on steam link as well. I feels like a Xbox controller which is feels better than a small cramped old game controller.

  • Exceeds all expectations
Best aftermarket ps3 controller I’ve ever used. I’d also recommend it to someone looking for a PlayStation style PC controller. Wireless USB connection works a million times better than comparable Bluetooth models

  • It's fantastic, but a bit cheap feeling
This product is great, but it is a bit cheapy

  • Very good on PS2, quite bad on PC.
Works really well on the Playstation 2, as you'd expect from a controller, nothing extraordinary about it. Using on PC was a bad experience for me. The controller has very poor range, will quite often lag and have a very long input delay, it will randomly disconnect and often times just stop working completely, where my inputs won't be accepted and the only way to fix it is having to restart my whole PC and then it starts working again, only for later on to display the same symptoms. ... show more

  • Very nice controllers
These controllers are great! They are well made with long battery life. I also bought the Retro Fighters model for my Nintendo 64, they are actually much better than the N64 original ones. Can't recommend these enough.

  • The Best PS3 Controller
Outstanding performance, works great and is really comfortable. Although this is the no six axis version, works amazing.

  • Better than junky controllers, but it's finicky to connect
If you care at all about gaming on retro consoles, you know that third-party controllers are usually trash. I really wanted to give this one five stars, but "doesn't suck" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement... It's wireless, which is nice, but the shape of it is kind of odd, and it'll really put up a fight connecting to its own wireless receiver sometimes. ... show more
