PS3 controllers suck > General Discussion

Posted: 11/10/2007 2:05:24 PM EDT

No vibration and they stay charged for shit. I can plug one in, turn it off, and the next day its completely dead again. Both of mine are like this. Then a new controller doesnt come with another cord so I can only do one at a time. I have to wait charge it up, and immediately play a game otherwise Im stuck with useless controllers. Why couldnt they just make them use AA batteries? My wireless PS2 controllers used to last months on one set of batteries. These new ones fucking suck dick. This whole rotating it around like a retard in games is stupid, too.

My controller lasts about 24 hours of gaming and charges up in about an hour, seems to hold a charge for weeks if it's turned off. The only bitch I've got is about 200 hours of Oblivion ruined the action on the left stick.

Dunno what's wrong with yours.

Yeah, something sounds f'd up, I very rarely have to charge mine... did you charge them up all the way? My gripe with them would be that they only charge when the system is actually on.

I've never charged mine on the PS3, I just plug it into the USB port on the PC.

I've been very happy with how mine has held a charge.

Yeah, I think he's doing it wrong. No sure how, but something's up.

I'm gonna go with everyone else here, mine have been able to go through several days of gaming without charges.

They also recently released the DualShock 3 with the rumble function. I didn't miss the rumble, but if it matters to you, there you have it.

Geez, I've used Xbox 360 wireless controllers for about 3 weeks without needing a charge.

Even with rumble function on, you can use them for over 24 hours straight on a full charge.

My guess is you have bad controllers somehow, I haven't played my PS3 or charged my controllers for a month and I played COD4 for 8 hours yesterday without a charge........

My 360 controllers work great. Trade your PS3 in for an xbox: Problem solved.

Same here. I use a "Dual Charger AC" by NYKO I got at Best Buy. My controllers charges up quick and holds a charge for a long time. Like K2QB3, my left stick doesn't work all the time, but the charge is fine.

Look familiar to anyone?

My PS3 controller charge lasted A HELL of a lot longer than my 360 alkaline batteries.

I'd get at least 32-35 hours of gaming before I needed to recharge them.

My 360 needed new batteries after 10-12 hours of gaming.

Are PS3 controllers wireless? How is the range on them?

Wait, you were actually using AA batteries?

Oh, man. Don't use that. They suck.
