Customers are dissatisfied with the buttons on the video game controller. They mention that the buttons and joysticks would momentarily stick when fully pressed, the PS button gets stuck frequently, and the buttons become unresponsive during gameplay. The joystick is springy and the analog sticks feel stiff. However, some customers report that the analog buttons will eventually break off their mounts. The rumble feature feels awkward and a bit 1980's.

"...Buttons fail, batteries die, and the controller becomes unusable...." Read more

"...be clear and fair: I press the L1 button, and while it wiggles and is noisy, it does work. It has worked the first time and every time since...." Read more

"...The analog sticks feel a bit firmer, which can be a good thing...." Read more

***Not a review of shipping or packaging*** ***Picture only for example purposes***I will say this up front; I am not reviewing the shipping/packaging. I am reviewing the fact that I ordered a new controller which usually comes in its' own case/container , i.e. Sony logos, PS3 box, plastic covering etc.What I received was a controller; nothing else. I am not even sure this is a "real" PS3 controller since it does not look like the one I have for my PS3. It does not have the similar information/placement for model number, barcodes, etc. When I hooked it up to my PS3 it would only operate when attached via charging cable; even after charging for 2 hours.I will continue using the controller but not sure it was worth the price. Buyer beware, maybe Amazon should include an "in the original box/container" for electronic equipment such as this.Again this is not a review of the shipping/packaging; the picture is to show evidence of how I received it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works nicely !
Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2022
I was anxious for years not knowing why my game was glitching (Franklin in GTA 5 not being able to drive a car, his cell always coming out, walking slowly (slow motion), my PS3 player or my DVD game itself, well it was the joystick! The other 2 I had were making a rattling sound when shaken so they were both broken (being dropped/thrown against the wall countless times, yes I have anger issues, I hate myself for that and I am trying not to get mad when I play GT5 now, a little older at 54). I enjoy playing with just Franklin listening to his rap in a stolen car, smoking his bong , driving mad, hitting pedestrians, stealing their $, going in the gun shop and kill all the cops until I run out of bullets and get shot. Thx Amazon and the seller who sold me the joystick, I deprived myself of playing for so long, the joystick is on top of my piano (I practiced classical for hours, time 2 play GTA 5 !
