The problem I have with the ps3 pad is the lack of a dimple in the middle of the analog sticks as on the xbox. I find my thumbs gradually slip off the stick as I play and I have to keep repositioning. I've heard of people who have modded their pads to replace the sticks with the sticks from the xbox controller, and I've also heard you can get silicon covers to go over the top of the existng sticks. It also occured to me you might be able to gouge out a dimple. Has anyone here tried this sort of thing and if so what is it like?
