Sounds like your controller is doing similar to mine - kept pushing the D-pad whenever I used the left stick. Have you tried opening it up and checking if there is any gunk/hair or so in there pushing against the plastic film? I completely dismantled mine and it turned out the plastic contact film was pinched in one corner (you'll understand what I mean if you open it). Carefully put it back together, and it's been good as new since.

I had no problems with my ps3 controllers in the UK, when i moved over here i've gone through 2 so far. when the first one died i also had a dreamgear one, they cost me $16.00 as opposed to $60 and have outlasted 2 official controllers.
I hope the ps4 controllers are better quality.

I dunno. Sometimes I feel the DS3 is just as bad as a cheapo.
Or I just have the worst luck with controllers.
The dual shock has rumble and the six axis doesn't. The ds3 is heavier as a result and the sticks are a little firmer/more resistant.
On launch the dual shock wasn't available as combining rumble with motion sensitivity was problematic. Sony worked it out and then released the ds3.

I recently purchased this: http://www.priceangels.com/Designer...ss-Game-Controller-for-PS3-Black--s96427.html
£8.78 delivered and from what I can tell its identical to the original PS3 controller. It works perfectly.
