Should I buy a ps4 controller for my ps3?

It works with nearly every game

BUT I believe you have to keep the controller plugged into the console at all times

Have you used it? I think I've read somewhere that it can be used wirelessly but the ps button doesn't work.

Still I ask people here because I'd rather here someone's actual experience with the DS4

I have done this. I bought a DS4 to replace a DS3 about 2 months before I got a PS4.

Works well, and wirelessly, see here:

The things I noticed mainly were that the PS button doesn't quite work and with no light indicator, you sometimes can't tell which controller port it's set to. It was set to 3 for me once, didn't realise until I switch controllers a few times. If you can get one cheap enough and in prep for one day getting a PS4 it may be worth it.
