1 out of 5 stars NOT the greatest controller in the world   July 20, 2008
I bought this thing because my brother-in-law had one and he said it was great for Tiger Woods Golf because the left joystick was so stiff it would deliver a perfect swing. I think what happened was he just ended up getting a one in a million controller that had a beneficial malfunction because the one I got sucked at it. The infra red wirless remote thing sucks too. My PS3 is in an entertainment center with an opague glass. The infra red receptor doesn't always pick up the signal through the opaque glass and I can't leave it open because I have a 3 year old daughter who doesn't realize the difference between a PS3 and a beachball yet (But she is still my Li'l Angel). In my opinion you'd be much better off sticking with the Sony wireless controller.


3 out of 5 stars Not bad, some small flaws   July 16, 2008
Quality is not the same as Sony, but not out of line w/ the 3rd party pricing (these run as low as $25). However, the buttons (especially the D-pad) don't feel as solid as a Sixaxis, and the USB dongle sucks up a port (whereas the Sony controller does not).


4 out of 5 stars Actually it is Good ... surprising but true   July 2, 2008
I already have two DualShock 3's; a black and a white one.
Bought from ebay before they made it officially here.
I thought that they would be enough.

I kept looking at the Nyco and thinking, meh no power on.


And yet, I decided to get it.

I believe that it was worth every cent.
Yes, the version I got HAS VIBRATION.

And with the new In-Game XMB, I can access all I need with it.
Besides, my PS3 Bluetooth DVD remote that sits on the coffee table can serve that (crucial) initial on; or I can walk (goodness :-) up to the PS3 and power up.

Truly the most important aspect of the Nyko is being a must for big, tall all whatever guys. I am 6'2" and around 200lbs.

The DualShocks (and the SixAxis before that) just don't feel as good in my hands as this one. More grippy, less slippery, easier for longer sessions. And all that translates to better gameplay; I was able to clear events that I was not able to with the DualShocks.

All I can say it, it's worth giving it a try; you may not be dissappointed; just like me. Thanks for reading.



1 out of 5 stars Rubbish   May 18, 2008
I got this since I am no big fan of the siaxis controller but rather miss my xbox controlers.
At the time this seemed like a decent alternative but then one of the control sticks just snapped, I wasnt even putting that much force on it (was hiding under a table at a stripclub shooting at some cops) and still it snapped right off. Another thing, there is a big red infrared dongle that is a never ending hassle to conect in order to get the controler working...

My advice: DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLER!
And if you still think you want it at least try your luck with the silver one, course the black one (the one I got) does NOT have the rumble function (the silver one has a button on the pic that say VIB. on it, that button does not exist on the black controler).

I would wait for a different alternative to the siaxis instead.



4 out of 5 stars Good alternative if you don't Sony's PS3 controller   May 8, 2008
First things firsts, for all you people who are complaining that it doesn't turn on the PS3 system need to be quiet, GET UP AND TURN THE SYSTEM ON YOURSELF ITS REALLY NOT THAT HARD. Anyways the controller works well and if you don't like PS3's controller and enjoy holding a 360 controller more than you should like using this one. The d-pad is pretty loose but it still works fine. I would not recommend buying this for more than $40 since you can get a regular PS3 one for less. I got two from ebay, one was $23 and the other was $35. So give ebay a look.
