Love my PS3... hate the controllers!

[Scort]

The 360 pad is an excellent design, but I don’t get why people have so much trouble with the PS3 pad, sure it’s small but other than that, I personally can’t see a problem

If anything, I prefer it to the 360’s as the sticks, to me, seem far better for FPS games – hard o explain, but it’s subjective.

Scort.

I guess the left stick's positioning is subjective (you might have crazy malformed hands ), and the shape/feel of it, but the responsiveness isn't. The 360 sticks are noticeably more precise and allow for quick/tiny adjustments that aren't possible on the D3.

isn't the controller pictured in the OP the one that was meant to ship with the ps3, i.e an official design, that was later resinded due to it's unpopularity

That said I hate the PS controllers, one of my main dislikes stopping me getting a ps3

Correct!

The Sixaxis is ok but it is poor compared to the 360 controller.

Is the ds3 pad more comfortable than the siaxis? It mainly the triggers that make my hands hurt

I have both and the triggers are the same.
They do not have enough travel and they are shaped the wrong way.
They should have been the same as 360 controller triggers.

Its the dead zones with the analogue stick in the ds3 that bug me the most, I’ve been playing the ps2 recently and I think the analogue stick on the ds2 are better
