Sony Playstation Dual Shock Controller

It appears to be the original product that sony has, however once it arrives to your home and after you unpackage the product, you will find an unpleasent surprise. The controller is a cheap knockoff, an imitation and the picture is a phony and a fake. Buyer Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm quite familiar with this controller. I remember when it first came out, i remember ape escape being one of if not the first to REQUIRE analong sticks. I have one of these to this day plugged into my ps3 through the usb - ps2 adapter, and i intend to buy 2 or 3 more. This controller i s sooo much better than a ps3 SIXAXIS controller. This will take a good angry " twist" and not even flex while an off brand like yobo or nyko will crumble in my hands as all the buttons fell out and circut bourds crumble to pieces like nothing (this is the case with the ps3 SIXAXIS as well), very weak plastic. the sony psx/ps2 wont twist, the plastic is very sturdy and can take some intense beatings. As upposed to a dualshock 2 controller the analog sticks are SO SOFT, this is the reason i've kept it around and used it primarily for so long. It was there for me for resident evil, it was there for ps2 raimbow six lockdown, and its right here on Call Of Duty 4. and i wouldnt have it any other way

The ones we ordered were suppose to be the light gray ones, but they turned out to be the chrome ones... Do not order from the same one I did!!!!!

What I got is nothing like what is pictured. All i was looking for, was an original PS1 Dual Shock controller. The simple gray one from when Playstations were first released. What I got was some poorly developed/designed third-party controller. Not the least bit ergonomic in anyway and to top it all off, it is completely useless in that the controller does not even fit in the port. It's too big for it so don't let the price fool you, they get you with $9.99 for shipping. So even for 1¢, I am sorely disappointed.

Playstation's Dual Shock is such a comfortable and popular layout that PC gamepad companies like Saitek and Logitech try to copy it, and they usually don't do a very good job. Their d-pads are always too awkward, or their construction is too lightweight. The Dual Shock is solid and is built to last. I'm an emulation gamer, and thanks to SmartJoy's USB adapter I can use a real PS1/PS2 gamepad with ZSNES and Bleem.

My only gripes with the pad: A) The Start/Select buttons really should've been moved up after the addition of analog sticks. I'm always finding myself fumbling over the sticks trying to get to Start and Select. B) While the d-pad is very sturdy, it kills my thumbs after a couple hours of play. Kinda makes me wish they had taken a Turbo Touch 360 approach and used a touch-sensitive panel instead of hard plastic arrows.
