The battery does not hold a charge

The buttons and joystick of the controller are like new and work normally. However, the battery was completely shot. It could hold a charge for 20 minutes before running out again. Not recommended for the price.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • weak

Something not so good for accessories

I was thrilled when my new PS3 controller arrived. But I'm having a hard time with it. I've noticed that the controller sometimes acts on its own. He also accidentally switched off. I'm not sure if I just got a bad one or not.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Modern

Recovery error.: Gamepads and standard controllers

Controller failed after 1 month. It gets very hot and won't charge or work. I had to disconnect the battery to keep the control board from melting from self-heating. However, it looks like DS4 will run on PS3, so I'll switch to that.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Appearance

Even better than expected!

I've had trouble finding a decent PS3 controller. So I took a chance and grabbed this one, "updated". It looks and feels like a new controller! Much better than I expected. Definitely worth the risk. Let's hope the controller works well. So far, so good.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Ready for market

Controller bad out of the box

Immediately after receiving the goods I noticed that the L3 and R3 buttons are not pressed when in the forward position. I decided to clear this up because my previous controller was completely dead. Well, a few weeks ago the controller started running by itself. It's very difficult to play fps or any other game when you're constantly moving forward when you want to stand still. I contacted the seller but they said my return period had expired to do something about it. I've only had thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • So far so good

Same problem. New control.

Now I have 6 PS3 controllers doing the same thing. When playing Madden (16 and 17), the controlled player begins jumping over the entire creation without touching a single button. (in defense) I'm walking towards a passerby so I press left stick down and he starts jumping on random players so my DBs get out of position then they all open up. Almost every pass is a touchdown. Controllers don't start out that way, they're good for a few weeks, but everything I've had started with them eventually.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Crumpled

Only buy if you like broken hardware

Do not buy. I bought the controller as a Christmas present for my sister to replace her old controller that had died. The incoming controller would only turn on when wired to the PS3. Even after charging overnight (with my own micro-USB cable, which I've verified works), the controller wouldn't hold a charge and would shut down as soon as I unplugged it. When browsing the menus in the PS3 to find the controller charge level, it didn't even show up. The micro USB cable that came with theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Practical item
Cons
  • Quality

rattles and scrapes. I can definitely say that it has been renovated.

As this controller has been refurbished I have some concerns. It arrived in "good" condition, but the controller definitely felt heavily used and unreliable. Difficult to explain but seems like it was definitely opened, taken apart and put back together in the past. There are also signs of wear on both handles. I bought it to be a little cheaper than new but I don't know. I'm starting to think maybe I should have invested in a new one. I also bought a Revain product warranty for it so I figureโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Almost never
