All 3 of my PS3 controllers have loose triggers. I mean seriously, wtf Sony? Can't you properly design your controllers to last long like the 360's? I now have to buy another one because the triggers are loose, and I just bought a few months ago. It's very irritating when the triggers are loose because even the slightest touch activates whatever that button does. You've let me down once again Sony.

I found that Warhawk does it. I now have a dedicated pad for Warhawk. My other pads are fine.

I checked you on Myhawk.org. It says you've only played 246 hours.

So why are you accusing Warhawk of breaking the pads? Your just being too aggressive.


Ha ha! @ Mirson I think it is the double tap Hawk boost that does the damage. For me anyway.

I just checked mine, those stats are only for ranked servers. He's probably played may more than that.

My controllers work and feel the same since I had them. It's funny because when I had a 360 its controller broke on me and I played the PS3 more during that time.

 

 

I find it hard to believe that a 360 controller would break before a PS3 controller. The PS3 controller is much lighter and doesn't have the quality of casing that the 360 controller has. Even the buttons last longer. I've already had to replace a PS3 controller and I've replaced PS2 controllers in the past.

As far as the controllers are concerned the PS3's six-axis triggers really do suck. They are annoying and badly placed. Everything else is just fine to me.

Glad this hasn't happened to me.

That's not a manufacturing defect or a defect due to wear and tear.

That's how the controllers are.  The triggers are extremely sensitive to any pressure.  It's very common to accidentally pull one without even realizing it because the trigger barely has to move for it to register as being pressed. 

I agree that this is a problem.  It shouldn't be possible to "accientally" press any button on any well-designed controller.
