Some common sense needs to enter into this discussion!! Why would you buy this controller to play 2D games? Who cares about the D-Pad being loud? One guy was complaining that his hands went naturally to the trigger(that is kind of the point here!!) Another complained that the lights in the handle are not lit up all the time!!Geez, don't listen to these whiners!! Here is the true review from a PS3 lover who has played dozens and dozens of games(I have probably played over 100 games by now actually) This controller is an XBox controller COPY. If you don't like the Xbox controller, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS ONE as it is practically identical. THe only real difference is the sticks are lined up next to each other(like they ought to be) rather than offset like the Xbox controller. How much of a copy is it? Well the battery compartment looks and functions exactly the same. R1 and L1 are now digital BUMPERS. THey are not analog and really suck if you have a game that does not let you change the firing/aiming/grenade throwing controls over the R2 and L2.Regarding using R2 for shooting, I found that most games either already use that configuration(basically every third party game with a few exceptions(All Call of Duty games, Dead Space and Fallout 3 come to mind) but even those let you change the controller settings easily enough. Even First party titles like Resistance 1 and 2 let you change the firing controls over. If you get a game that doesn't let you, I would recommend using the good old Dual Shock 3.That being said, I no longer have an XBox but I have to admit that I liked the controller--especially for shooters. For action games requiring mashing of buttons, I have always found the Six Axis Dual Shock 3 to be much better just due to the lighter weight of the thing.The sticks on this controller are precise and the triggers are the best I have seen on a PS3 controller. Someone really did it right. To make it even better, Bluetooth means just plug the controller in once and it is paired. Rumble and Six Axis functions are fully supported. The only negatives are that the D-Pad is kind of sloppy(you have to press pretty hard to make it work sometimes--a little annoying but not even close to a deal breaker) and it does not have built in rechargeable batteries so I bought some for 10 bucks and am now set.This controller does have a Turbo Feature which I could care less about. Not sure why so many people feel like they have to cheat to win at online games. And that is exactly what it is when you give yourself an advantage that the average user does not have. That being said, this is yet another reason why I don't play online games...In conclusion, this controller is great and well worth the money. Right now I am playing through two of my favorite FPSes again using this controller. F.E.A.R. and Resistance Fall of Man. How much has it helped. Well I am about half way through Resistance on HARD and I am playing F.E.A.R. easily on normal(the first time I went back to easy just because the AI of the bad guys is UNBELIEVABLE!!) Now I am mowing these guys like nobody's business. I will probably play it again on Hard once I complete it this second time!!

Ps3 Turbo Fire Controller
By xng
I have had this remote for a while now and I found it great for the price but if you are willing to spend more, don't get this. It is powered by two AA batteries which makes the battery life very short, seeing that you can't charge it with the usb cable.The good things are you can program it to any button by holding the turbo button until it lights up, then choosing the button(s) you want to have turbo( rapidly pressing the button by just holding it is what turbo is)the letting go of the button. You can use either the PS button or the turbo button to set the speeds from fast, medium, or slow. The bad thing is that on the fastest setting, its not the fastest but still good. There are more pricey controllers that go faster but as i said, for the price, its a great deal.One real annoyance is not the sound of the d pad as some people complained, but the shape of the controller. For all those FPS games people play like Mw2 or Battlefield the bottom of the controller or the handles, are very lumpy and make your fingers at an odd position to press the shoot button. My solution was setting the button setting on MW2 to default flipped in the "more..." section of the button setting. Hope it helped. If you have any questions email me @ Yokobird1225@gmail.com.Pros: Easy to program for any buttonBluetoothCheapGood turbo speed for priceCons:Bad controller shapeTurbo could be fasterShort battery life(two AA batteries)
