GAMEFRIEND PS3 Controller Wireless, Double Shock Gamepad Bluetooth Sixaxis Game Controller with Charger Cable for Playstation 3

My daughters controller broke. I didn't want to shell out the expensive price for a new controller. I found this replacement and thought for the price I will give it a shot. It works great. It comes with a charging cord but the cord is extremely short so you have to wait for it to charge before you can use the controller. There is no playing while charging with this cord. If you have a longer one however that cord will work with the system just fine. It is the basic black color and resembles the original controllers that came with the system. It has some weight behind it and is the exact size of the original controller.

I'm so glad I picked this controller! It feels extremely comfortable (almost like it was molded for my hands!), all the buttons are easy to reach, and most importantly the buttons are well-built and responsive. The right and left stick feel more rugged, so hopefully the problem with the sticks rubbing off is a thing of the past. Overall, I'm very happy with it.

This controller works great most of the time. However occasionally it makes you move without touching any of the buttons which can be frustrating. Another issue is that when the sticks are pushed all the way to a side you cannot click them down to perform certain functions.

This is now the 2nd time I habe purchased a controller from this company and they still havent let me down. It works great and doesnt feel too much off from a Dualshock.

The same size as the original Sony PS3, buttons has the same touch.As described, and if the price is right, this may be for you. Recommended. I will update this review if needed to share more experiences and therefore a frame of reference. I will add some photos shortly.

EDIT.....Seems to be working now. Take it for what you want, but I played with the charging cord a bit, swapped ports, diagnosed it a little. Came back to use it and it seems to be charging.ORIGINAL REVIEW..Controller is sleek and feels good in your hand, like the original does. However, this one won’t hold a charge. Obviously bought because it was inexpensive. So 2 stars for design, but that’s about it. And it’s too much of a pain to send back for a whole $13. Disappointing really. Should’ve just bought the real deal since I’ll have to spend the money twice just to get one that works. Hope you have better luck.

Good for the price. Works perfectly.

It has the same flaw as many other aftermarket controllers share which makes it completely useless. If you have not yet encountered this, it can be a bit tricky to explain.With a fully charged battery, the controller will repeatedly go "dead" after 20-30 minutes of use despite the fact that it remains connected to the proper blue tooth port (the red lights do not blink and the #1 light remains illuminated). When it dies, all buttons, (including the home button) become completely unresponsive. Furthermore, whatever buttons you were pushing at the moment the controller dies get locked into an infinite input loop. For example, if you were backing up, strafing right and aiming up in a shooter game at the moment of "death," your character would get stuck running around backward in a counterclockwise circle while shooting at the sky.The only way to regain functionality is to use another controller and assign it to be #1. After that, you could reassign the "dead" controller to be #1 again and you can continue to play for another 20-30 minutes before it happens again. This happens with multiple games from different makers. I have tried "restore file system" and "rebuild database" from the PS3 menu but it still happens. Furthermore, I have 9 other controllers (1 Sony, 8 aftermarket) and it has NEVER happened with any of them.
