Well… has anyone else found out the standard, recommended controllers to be very poor when you look at them in a long term use?Sad

Personally, i ended up with 4 sixaxis controllers before the release of the dualshock controllers, and 3 of them are virtually impossible to use. i have problems with sticking analog sticks, L2 and R2 buttons, unregistering buttons etc. because of this, i bought a dualshock controller, and i'm glad to say no problems yet, and has had a lot of use since christmas (when it was bought) Just wanting 2 no, any1 else had problems with controllers, or even any other hardware, i know headsets can be dodgy, and i must say my official sony one is far from perfect Sad lol Fools

My first sixaxis i had kept getting the left analogue stick wedged up for some reason, also R2 button was dodgy (but i did sit on it by accident…..) but i now have 2 dualshocks and each work fine, and have had no problems with either (one i bought last summer!)

all of my controllers have been continually perfect for use. no problems in either the sixaxxis, nor the ds3.

my first ps3 controller (got the ps3 at launch) was good, just the left stick got stuck in the up direction sometimes… other than that, my controllers have been perfect, sixaxis and DS3.

well, he is correct in a sense.

Pick up a Sixaxis. It weighs NOTHING!! there is no poundage to it. When you pick up a Dualshock 3, it is A LOT heavier. It is still very light, but it heavier than the sixaxis.
