thegamezmaster Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Does anyone know if there is a difference between the controller that comes with the slim ps3 that just says sixaxis and feels lighter than the ps3 controllers that have dualshock3 and sixaxis on them and are heavier? Do they both have the rumble feature or any differences besides weight? I looked around and couldn't find any info. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the sixaxis lasts a bit longer because it doesnt have rumble but it doesnt matter....Dualshock 3 is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to break more easily, and start to lose their centering ability, kind of like the old N64 sticks. I haven't had this problem on DS3s, though.

Galeforcerm Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I had 2 sixaxis controllers go bad on me. They just stopped.working. no problems with the 4 ds3's I've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I have 2 release sixaxis, no problem with them. Bought a dualshock 3 last year because i really misted the rumble function. The only downside of the sony controllers are the bad design of the l2 and r2. Bought a pair of these and man what an improvement.

+SpiceWare Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Me too. I just picked up another DualShock 3 for use with my MacBook Pro. The triggers have a new design on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmtnbiker Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Me too. I just picked up another DualShock 3 for use with my MacBook Pro. The triggers have a new design on them. I guess I'm confused. My PS3 slim (holiday 2010) has a DS3 that does not look like the one in the thread. It has a convex L2/R2, not concave. Are people modifying their controllers to have concave buttons? Or are they older models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I guess that spicewars means that the clip-on l2 - r2 buttons have a new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony hasn't changed the design of the triggers and that isn't a stock controller. What your controller shows is still the current Dual Shock 3 design and has been since day 1.

+SpiceWare Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Sorry for the confusion, I guess I should have quoted thegamezmaster's "I have them on all my controllers and love them.", which is what I was replying to.

I have a similar problem on two of my controllers also. Both left joysticks would stick and be stuck "up" when pushed on for a decent amount of time. I usually run into this problem when running around in Call of Duty or Resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Where are you guys getting those controller clipons for the L2/R2 buttons? I would love to get some of those, I hate the current design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamestop is where I get mine. They're very inexpensive, and I think I saw them in packs of 2 (4 total) last time I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
