I recently got a PS3 - so far so good apart from one thing.

for the past 6 years i've had XBOX1 and X360 - and i hate the PS3 controller - i was never fan of it even with the PS2 (used to prefer the Dreamcast controller as the left analoge stick was more comfortable).

360 Controller to me is a lot more comfortable - but with the ps3 left stick is in the wrong place and my thumb aces after a while L & R trigger buttons my finders slip off them on racing games.

I've seen a few controllers for the PS3 that have the D-PAD and left stick swapped same shape as the p3 controller but bigger/longer hand grips, ive also seen some that are shaped like the 360 controller.

Has anyone got any recommendations on a good 360 styled/shaped controller for the PS3.
 
I've seen these on a few sites, only thing that worries me is the updates sony done to the ps3 firmware which disables some USB controllers etc.

Do MS make a official wired controller for the 360, ive only seen the wireless ones.
 
My adapter has been working on the new firmware.
It's analogue on the back triggers (played gt5p with it) but not sure about the face buttons.
 
if these adapters work well, i might look into getting one, as i would be able to use a 360 controller.

Just been playing a mate who has always had a ps3 on dirt 2 online for about an hour my left thumb is acing from the ps3 thumbstick layout.

Even games like Call of Duty and BFBC2 - its not that i cant use the controller, it just feels uncomfortable on some games with the PS3 controller.
 
not sure if its been released yet but the Nykon Raven looks pretty good (their is a version in the style of the 360 and another with the PS3 stick layout).

ive been moaning about the PS3 controller since i bought it a few months ago.. its about the only thing i dislike about the console.


edit
im pretty sure i saw and alternate controller that had thumbsticks that you could tighten or loosen that looked pretty decent, but unfortunatly the name of it escapes me right now (anyone?)

You're 100% sure about the triggers being analogue? This had always been the main stumbling block with 360 > PS3 adaptors, if this device works fully then it would be very appealing for GT5 coming up.

I've got the PowerA controller that is laid out like a 360 pad, and while it's an improvement over the DS3 it's still not perfect.
 
the ps3 controller in a 360 shell - ive seen a few people who have done this, would be good to try but looks like quite a job and expensive (as you would need to buy 2 spare controllers to chop up) its a shame one of the companies that would normaly do this kid of thing havet released a kit for doing this.

So far ive seen a few controllers.

The Power A one but i saw some reviews saying it wasnt as good as it was expected to be,

the Raven controller, never found this anywhere in the UK yet,

i found another one called the PS3 Shadow controller shaped the same as the ps3 but has the left stick and d-pad swapped around and bigger/longer grips
