I have always preferred my Xbox 360 controller to the PS3’s Dualshock. While this statement is controversial and comes down to personal preference, it appears that another gaming company has answered a solution to this problem. Introducing the PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller made by dreamGEAR. Although it does not exactly replicate the 360 controller, it makes for a great alternative for those looking for a different PS3 controller.

One look at the Shadow Wireless, and you will notice the analog sticks are modeled after the Xbox 360 controller. It also features “enhanced L2 and R2 triggers” implying simply that it has triggers like the 360 controller. “Shadow Wireless also features 2.4 GHz latency free wireless technology, dual rumble motors, a built-in rechargeable battery, mini USB charge cable and rubberized grips, making the Shadow Wireless the most comfortable and PS3 controller ever created.(dreamGear.com)”

FEATURES:
*Custom Analog Stick positioning - Similar to Xbox 360
*Dual Rumble Motors - Touchsense next generation technology
*Built-in Rechargeable Battery - Hours of uninterrupted gameplay with excellent charge time
*Enhanced L2 and R2 Buttons - Concave surface to minimize finger slip
*Includes a Mini USB cable to charge - Charge any Mini USB controller including DS3
*Latency-free wireless gameplay - Eliminate the hassle of tangled cables
*Rubberized controller surface finish - Comfort, complete control and long wear

I finally got my hands on this bad boy yesterday when it arrived and tested it out on Uncharted 2. Talk about a huge difference for someone like me who prefers the 360 controller over the PS3 Dualshock. The controller works great with no issues at all. The Dpad could use a little work and the PS3 definitely has this beat but who really buys a controller for the sake of a Dpad?

Again this is not a carbon copy of the 360 controller and the triggers are not as long as the 360 but overall it is a great controller for those who prefer an alternative to the PS3 Dualshock. I would recommend this to anyone who is likes the 360 controller over the PS3 Dualshock. The price tag for this controller is pretty reasonable. You can find it on Amazon for $24.36 This is your solution to making more out of your PS3 then just a Blu-ray player or at least it did for me
