Video Game Reviews of PlayStation 3 Zero Wireless Controller - colors may vary
Customer Review: Good ergonomics / good economics
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these models to serve as controllers #2 and #3 for my PS3. Candidly, these are my "go to" controllers - I give the dualshock 6axis to my son. Whereas Sony designed the 6axis for kids and elves, the Zero lets an adult human play a game for an hour and then unclench his/her hands for other uses afterward. The construction is surprisingly sturdy, and the buttons, sticks, and triggers are all snappy. Above all, this is the price I want to pay for a controller.
Notes on the downside: First, the included rechargeable battery has a short life, and for some reason will not recharge consistently from USB. Good thing the controller comes with a super long charge cord. Second, it is not bluetooth, but rather requires a USB connection to the PS3. This doesn't bug me, but the blinding red glow given off by the USB nub when in use really does for some reason. Third, the left d-pad is cheap, but most games I play don't require it for action. Lastly, I noticed the sensitivity is not as refined as the 6axis, which means that for games that don't allow you to crank down sensitivity (e.g. Unreal shooters like Turok) you have to use the 6axis.
If the above bothers me, its because I prefer to play with the Zero. At the right price, make it your #2/3/4. Who knows... it could become your #1.
