Playstation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Black) (Renewed)

This is not a "genuine" PS3 controller, but it is a very good fake. I'm fine with it

The first one I ordered had a stuck right thumbstick, like literally it would stay all the way over to the right after you let go. And the D-Pad was like it was shorted out and would send lots of quick presses across multiple directions when you'd click one direction once. I returned that one and got "an exact" replacement.The second one seemed like it was restored with way cheap thumbsticks and triggers, testing it, it'd go from 0 to 32000 (max input) in like just 20% of the full hardware travel of the stick or trigger, for all of them. And it felt way lighter than a legit DS3 and rumble did not work in any games. I suspect the rumble devices were just removed since it felt so much lighter than it should, but I did not take apart to verify. I returned the second one for a refund and gave up on this company. I'm ok with used and restored, was willing to pay for that. But they weren't willing to send me anything that was a legit DS3 that was properly restored with decent parts, which the product page makes it sounds like they're all about high standards here, so maybe I just got really unlikely with the two pieces of not properly restored items they sent me :-/

If anyone is skeptical as to whether or not these are fakes and someone pulled a fast one on Amazon and fooled them (like they have with GameStop), these are indeed genuine DualShock 3 controllers. Mine came looking brand new. Not a scratch on it. It even had the OEM charger cable (it has a ferrite bead cylinder at the end).The true test is to put the PS3 in recovery mode. If you can press the PS Home button, the controller is real. Not a single third party or even licensed third-party controller works in this mode. A rare few will be able to turn the console on or even use the home menu in-game, but none will work in recovery mode with the PS Home button. Some will let you navigate the recovery OPTIONS. A genuine controller is needed when doing HDD swaps, for example. For the price, these are a steal. Get them while they still exist.

i'd say this is hit or miss, i saw a lot of people saying this is trash and that its fake but mine works perfectly, so i think u just have to hope u get the right one

Seems like a legitimate PS3 controller. Tested in Hitman, R2 registers half squeeze to precise aim. Goldeneye moves in all directions and doesn’t have the diagonal issue third party controllers have. I haven’t tested sixaxis yet or plugged it into a pc to confirm 100%. Controller arrived with a dead battery. Seems to have taken a charge just fine. Haven’t test battery life yet. My only negative observations so far are the casing seems to be dark dark grey and the left thumb stick seems slightly off center. No controller drift has been noticed yet. I am happy that the two games I’m currently playing are working just fine. I think it’s a safe bet ordering here for a good PS3 controller.

Product looks and works as described! Very clean, no scratches, cracks, or fading. Looks brand new and just what I needed. Now me and my family can play PS2 X-Men Legends 4 player mode 😁

I was pleased with the product and the condition it was in except for one thing. As I was testing the controller by playing a game, the left toggle was not working properly.After pressing down on the left toggle to attempt to sprint in game, it would somehow press other buttons as well such as the triangle button and shoot the weapon all at the same time while pressing down on the left toggle.Fortunately, I was able to fix this issue by opening the controller, unscrewing the motherboard and find that the strip along with the black foam that's its attached to was not properly set in place. I applied electrical tape and rolled it up and placed it between the strip and black foam. Applied pressure and put everything back together.After all that, the controller performed well and faced no issues after and everything seemed fine.While it was in good condition, I would hope this review would encourage the seller to double check their products before sending it out. 👍

The controller buttons were being pressed automatically defective and in the trash now don't buy ps3 controllers from this seller he will rip you off
