Everything so true.

My fingers slip off the Dualshock's R2 Button as well, but I hate to shoot with R1 because it feels so good on the 360 controller so I force myself to change the controls in many PS3 games.

i find that my fingers slip off the trigger on the dualshock whenever i play a fps which usually involves me getting shot plus i find it 2 light

And I feel the gamepad is too heavy. Guess its more to do with what you are used to. I play the ps3 more so am used to the sixaxis/dualshock. The part with the aiming using the right stick is interesting though.

Yeah they are good, but these are standard controls which you will find in most FPS. TPS are always a bit more difficult to control.

The placement of the sticks is why the 360 is preferred for FPS games. No-body cares about dead-zones.

Ive played on both for so long now i cant even really tell a difference.


subconciously i make adjustments.

but i had to choose one for design,id go with the dualshock 3.

Was playing Socom today on my PS3 and my new Duel Shock Controller..

All I was thinking was "I wish I could use my 360 Controller"

The Analog Sticks on the 360 are lower then the PS3's, meaning more comfort for my thumbs.

Also the 360 Analog Sticks have indents to them and gives better placement for my thumbs, as the PS3's are rounded and my thumbs just don't feel the comfort as I do with a 360's controller.

Not to mention the placement of the left Analog Stick on the 360 controller is just a no brainier.

But thats my take on my controllers, and everyone has their own take on their own controllers.

I prefer the xbox controller, concave triggers and sticks so you're fingers have better control and grip, the sticks have little dots that help you feel your way to dead front (usefull in bowling or golf games where precision is key) and the overall shape fits in your hands better.

But the Ps3 buttons are a better shape and push down better, especially the D-pad. But liked mentioned above the original controller was good, the sticks just tacked on. Funnily enough I find the six axis more accurate at measureing my movement than the wiimote does.

But when you get used to either controller you don't notice any of the problems, they work 100%

"dualshock is the analogue sticks tend to loosen up after a few weeks/months."
WRONG. mine are now 1.5 years old, still solid as rocks, and i have POUNDED it ALLOT while getting my frustration out. The winner in most reviews is the ps3 one, but i myself prefer the 360 one if its fps wich i veeeeeeeeeeeery rarely play on consoles.

I HATE the analog sticks and the triggers on all the Playstation controllers.
I don't know how people can keep using those triggers without getting severe hand cramps. It's the main reason why I've never bought a Playstation.
