 Don't bother. |

What a disappointment. When I first got the controller I couldn't wait to try out the additional buttons to hopefully give me that edge or at least help my adult hands with the too small PS3 controllers. When I first got it out of the package and sync'ed it to the PS3 it seemed to work fine. That was the last time I could ever get it to operate, five minutes of play on the charge it had from the factory.
I wasn't overly thrilled with the dimutive size either or the trigger like button for R2 and L2. Turns out my brother who is also an adult also bought one (at least his was able to work), he found the sensitivity so poor with those buttons that he ended up returning his within 48 hours. So I say don't bother this was a product that seemed great but must have been rushed to meet the launch deadline, because ultimately it was very poorly conceived.I give this 0.5 out of 5. |

I bought this controller for a single reason, and that reason happens to be the worst feature in the controller, but we'll get to that in a minute.
what the other reviewers said was true, in a way. My experience with the controller was similar, i think the sticks just have a bit more tension than the regular dualshock 3, its not precision it lacks. The R3 and L3 are actually more responsive than the dualshock, triggers are concave and hace a bigger resistance than the dualshock. D-pad is unresponsive and clumsy. L1 and L2 work only if you press it dead center and hard. and the face buttons get stuck inside the faceplate for a few seconds if you press them hard enough. I actually love the shape, it feels better and relaxed, and the grips do a really good job in keeping your hands dry and on the controller.
Now to the extra "feature" that simply kills this, the combat buttons. It has two extra buttons in the back to remap some face buttons in there, the bad part is the positioning, theyre in a place were your two fingers wont ever be, they just too high, too small and two clumsy to use.
I have been hard on this controller, but for good reason, in actuality i cant go back to the regular dualshock 3, i like the tension and resistence of the triggers in the combat controller, and i actually got used to it enough were i play better with it. the thing is i ignore the combat buttons.
Shape and Comfort: Combat Controller
Triggers: Combat Controller
Sticks: Combat Controller (once you get used to it)
Face Buttons: Dualshock 3
i think if you get used to all the quirks around the controller, youll get a better experience, i certanly have, just buy this if youre committed to learn them well, i think youll like them afeterwads. |
Disappointing Controllability

| Have played the MW2 since the day it came out. Just couldn't resist upgrading to the new controller from the Sony feedback. Big problem. The control inputs are very non-linear. In other words it has null zones when you slightly move the sights. Then when the stick is depressed enough, it moves way too much. You end up moving back and forth. The problem gets much worse with some views. The grenade launcher is just almost unusable. It feels like a 1992 PC joystick game. The movement is so ticky I would say it cuts my average kill/loss ratio in half. I played for four hours with it thinking I would adapt, nope. It is just almost impossible to look down the sights and adjust to a long range head shot. There is just not nearly enough control resolution. It goes back tomorrow. Stay with the Sony. |
Avoid, especially for FPS

| I was hoping I'd find this controller more favorable for playing FPS games since it has concave triggers instead of the convex ones on the DualShock3. They performed ok for me, not really any better or worse. The issue is the analog sticks. E. Henson described the problem perfectly. There is no precision. The sticks have a huge dead zone where no input on the stick will register in the game. When you finally get outside the dead zone it moves too much. This leads to your crosshairs passing right by your target. Another thing that bugged me a little was the responsiveness of the L1 and R1 buttons. I tended to hit the outside parts of these buttons, and when I did that they would not register unless I pressed harder than I normally would. If I focused on hitting the buttons more towards the center lighter presses registered fine. I also would have preferred concave sticks as I feel I have more control over them that way. I played NCAA Football 10 with this as well and playing that felt a little different but not really in a bad way. It worked fine for that. It also doesn't have rumble, which I could care less about, but other people do not like. The controller does have some nice things about it. It fits comfortably in your hand. The rubberized grips are comfortable. It has two buttons on the back you can map to one of three buttons each. R3, SQ, and TR for the right side and L3, X, and O for the left. They work well as alternatives to analog stick presses, but for me the could have been about 1/8 inch closer to the middle, but that's nitpicking. The dongle is nice and small, the size and shape of a flash drive. The lights on the analog stick are actually kind of cool but I never leave them on as they are too bright and distracting. If you are going to use this for an FPS, and since its Modern Warfare 2 branded I imagine you are, I would certainly avoid this controller. I'm not sure if you could do worse since the only other controller I've used is the DS3, which is superior to this. I've gone back to the DS3 for MW2 and will be getting rid of this controller. |
