I recently bought this one from Argos (sorry if that's classed as a competitor):

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9251427/Trail/searchtext>PS3+CONTROLLER.htm

Feels nice and pretty well made, not quite up to 360 controller standards (particularly the triggers) but good enough and loads better than the official PS3 controller IMO. Unlike some third party controllers it works just fine with FW 3.50+. Only real downside is it uses an ugly USB dongle.

Can you give any other thoughts on it? Thinking about picking it up, watched a few reviews on YouTube and none have mention if there's any dead zones on the analogs or if it's 2.4Ghz wireless which I assume it is. Also, does it feel cheap and nasty?

I haven't noticed any dead zone issues, but I don't play that many FPS games. I'm assuming it's 2.4ghz. Like I said, build quality feels pretty good, certainly not cheap and nasty.

Think I'll grab myself one of those!

It's the only place I could find mine.

So far I'm liking it simply because Ive been used to the xbox controller on my PC. I've only used it for a couple of games with Fifa 11 and found it not just as responsive as the xbox controller or PS3 but to me its something I can live with. Also had a quick spin at GT5 and found it great. Sorry can't comment on any FPS games.

Oh and one review / comment said the centre button doesnt turn off the game / console .... well it does turn them off.

Wyrdo has one, i haven't been able to go into town as.....er i've been tired after work

Got mine yesterday and I'm pleased with it. It's more or less the same size as a 360 controller although not as heavy and the triggers aren't as good but as Drexel said it's far better than the PS3 controller, obviously this is in my opinion.

Had a quick blast on MW2 on the PS3 as that's the only shooter I have for it and I couldn't really find any faults with it.

What about input lag? Are the analogues as responsive as the DS3's?
