Review: Best controller for the PS3 - Product: Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller, by Sony. Rating: 4 1/2 stars LIKES: * QUALITY: In my experience, when it comes to controllers for the PS3, you pretty much get what you pay for. Over the years, I've owned a PS1, a PS2, and a PS3, and at various times I've tried 3rd party controllers in an attempt to add multiplayer capability at a more reasonable price ... and unfortunately, I've rarely been happy. As long as you can afford it, this seems to be the best controller you can get for the PS3 ... it has the best balance of heft, solid construction, good tactile resistance in the buttons and thumbsticks, excellent durability, good vibration feel, good communication range, reasonably fast charge time (2.5 hrs or less), and a long-lived battery. NITS: * Price: Authentic Sony controllers are expensive ... but as mentioned above, you generally get what you pay for. * Charging Cord not included: You'd think that in purchasing a spare/replacement controller that it would come with a charging cord, right ? Nope. Sony deliberately omits it, and instead instructs customers to "use the one that comes with your PS3". I recently purchased a charging station to eliminate that bottleneck ... which was probably Sony's goal in witholding charging cords from their spare controllers. * Minor design issues: (a) when putting the controller down during active play, there's an occasional tendency for one of the L2/R2 buttons to activate if you're not gentle. A pair of small support feet on the front of the controller, placed just behind and below those 2 buttons, would solve that. (b) I wish the charging cord connector port was indented slightly, to be self-guiding, to make connections faster and more eyes-free. (c) L3 & R3 are too easily unintentionally activated while using the sticks for movement in many games ... case in point is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where you FREQUENTLY end up squatting in mid-combat, while maneuvering during a melee, which is very frustrating. They need to increase the activation pressure for L3/R3 slightly in order to solve that. Bottom line: I've tried several other brands, and even though the Sony controller is the most expensive among them, it's also the best. Highly Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this bring the charger?**
A: For every controller I've purchased on Amazon - it does not come with the charger unless they list that in the description.

**Q: after charging with the charger i have how will i pair this with my console. just push the ps button or what?**
A: To pair the controller, you'll need to plug it into the console using a USB cable, then press the PS button and wait for the system to recognize it.
Once it's been paired, you can activate it anytime by pressing the PS button without the USB cable attached.

**Q: Does this have a usb port. I have a person in prison and they would not let him have it . is there a wireless controller that is not blue tooth or usb**
A: I have an Afterglow brand controller that worked great for 8 years. It ONLY takes 2 AA batteries. It has NO PORTS at all AND it's all perfectly clear for easy inspection. It has cool lightning effects with LEDs throughout its interior, which get old after 10 minutes but it's inspectable.  Turn the lighting effects off for battery life, of course.
   No ports, only AA batteries and they really last a long, long time. All clear. Fantastic and perfect for your situation.
    I don't see them here. Try GameStop. I got mine there. If not there, go web wide. I'm sure somebody must sell them in some corner of the world. They're too good to just discontinue. No ports, crystal clear. AA batteries and it works exactly like a Sony.
   Please excuse the other folks in here. They just don't know how corrupt the justice system is in America. 
  Our criminal justice system is broken. This country has 25% of the world's incarcerated but 4% of the population. It's privatized, meaning people are being PAID to fill prisons. These are the criminals. They go unnoticed because they're warned before inspections.

**Q: Just received a new one. Took it out of the package, plugged the charger cord in, and the controller didn't turn on. What do I do?**
A: Just leave it plugged in for a while until the charging indicator lights come on.  Usually charge about 2 hours for mine.  If still unresponsive then it could be defective so just request a return with amazon and ship it back for a new one.
