Finera USB Wired Gamepad For PS3 Controller PS 3 Console Game Joystick Joypad Gamepads（Not Bluetooth Controller）

Works well with my macbook 2023 M2 chip. I can play games with this controller. Played some old games and mapping the buttons work too.I thought it had not worked until I Pressed the centre button (PS3) between the analogs to create the initial connection.

Great item, great seller. Fast postage. Thanks.

Had my doubts but decided to chance it as the fire buttons follow the PlayStation symbol scheme. Plugged it in. Expected to dig through settings, websites and drivers to get it working properly. Didn't even have to calibrate it in the "Game Controllers" (Windows XP) or "Devices and Printers" (Windows 10). The mini-joysticks don't need special drivers or setting up at all, merely use the "P3" button in the middle to toggle between digital and analogue.Feels just like the PlayStation controllers I had with a real PlayStation 1. The directional part provides a much better tactile feedback than older Microsoft's SideWinder game pads. More accurate than SideWinders too.I'll be ordering the second one shortly as my kid keeps bugging me to borrow the new PS3 game pad now.

Positives:It works (in a limited fashion)It has the PS3 button symbols printed on the buttons.Can be used with a PC and works with emulators.NegativesMy PS3 crashes and re-boots when one of these is plugged in during a game.There is no "six axis" motion sensors. Unsuitable for any game that needs controller positioning.Tested on a PC and the XY axis give full deflection at about 25% of movement. Within this there is only 3 positions rather than a gradual increase. This means the positioning sensitivity is extreme. This makes many games much harder because slow movement cannot be achieved (Skylanders, Little Big Planet and most FPS games).The controller does not have low level USB functionality, i.e. it cannot be used to initiate a firmware upgrade.

Decent quality from what youd expect a PS3 controller to have, only issue I have is it had a big deadzone on the joystick but otherthan that. It's good. Cable length is decent and is a good distance.

Son tested it for the PS3 Slim console and works fine. This controller was to replace an offical PS4 controller that had a dead battery and only works wired now. So we have two working wired controllers now for local co-op. So no worries about dead batteries anymore. The length of the wire is a little longer than a regular PS4 controller charge cable, but I still used a usb extention cable to give it more length and works fine.

Great

Once a year I do an annual marathon of the Metal Gear Solid games from 1-4 and they all require a PlayStation controller for certain sections of the game my last controller broke and the one I bought was perfect for these games and I cannot recommend enough if your an old school gamer.
