..my previous outlook on this controller is at the very bottom. this is part 2,notice the difference in paint quality, lets get on with this.
..well well... it has been a sojourn. it has been an oddessy mixed with knotted veins on the forhead and rewards nary so valuable, with this controller. at last for the past two days since the accessories arrived ive been working with this controller;charge/play cable,blue tooth dongles, and wireless keypad all together.
for what its worth.. despite the small wear-and-tear i can see on the wireless ps3 device, its in good working condition-ill just state to the court before going on that it would not have survived if i had owned this at age 10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/or 22- and everything works well.. that said.. the illusion that it or parts of it dont work, is mind boggling. for the last couple weeks as ive tested this..feww[...] i came..THIS 99%/99% close, to asking for a refund for the controller, and then subsequently asking for a refund for the wireless keypad, dongles and wire, as i was sure this had become a wasted time and money fiasco because that was the way it was.
..but.. if you have the will, and the patience, not to reach for the steel bat nexr to you in your room you feel so very much like bringing right down on this controller with all your might-keep this in mind;
..there is, if at all, very little being done for this kind of hardware. thats the price of an entity like sony who sold every fiber of themselves to the fiery down below for as much wealth as possible.and WHAT IS being done, is being worked on by third party people(and what a party, let me tell you) who without the massive rebobinar funds like sony unfortunatly has, work on the existing software slooooowly. motion joy.. xpadder... if you have these.. they are not bugged. they are not glitched(most of the time).. they are full of quirks. yet they are like the cells powering your body. you cant run this controller without them. it is an obstacle with these programs combined with this hardware-its impossible without them. patience. if you should ever come across this difficult terrain as i have and conquered, patitience will prevent you oh buyer from flinging every part of this things hardware back at its sellers from far across every part of the world.
the wireless ps3 controller sold here-at least the one i got- is by no means a fraud. a fake. a sham. nah(although it does seem like they get these from the used asian goodwill store, dont fret though)
as someone who uses this controller soley for the computer, the dongles cable and wireless keypad ive purchased all work. on a pc laptop. i will be posting similar reviews in all the seperate components i bought particularly, which you can see under my name, as they all work for this wireless ps3 controller.when using this with a pc, you need motion joy and xpadder which will work.(avoid the updates. yove been warned about that now)
old republic here i come.
five star rating. making the bottom review old and void.
end communcation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[..going to write another review but the following account of woe is as follows. please read this very thoroughly and carefully to understand the 1 star rating.
on the date of writing this review i joyously ripped open my weak and silly metal mail box to find what ive been waiting for, for days-the ps3 wireless controller. awsome, no?
i take it back to my house, thinking of playing alone in the dark and soon old republic with this, and oh the memories that will come.
i open the package, pull out the controller- and air follows after. um.. theres.. nothing to connect it to the computer. n.o.t.h.i.n.g. air. zip. nata. squat. ralvmungio.
so..why bother sending the ps3 controller..if you never had anything to connect it to...? a usb piece thing?... a cable perhaps..? it makes the very thought of the saying ''until tommorow'',all the more tickly, in my fist. theres..nothing but the controller in the bag. i could raise an ant farm in there and theyd never find anything but the air that comes after they open the bottom.
heres how it goes. until i find that cable-usb whatever you use to connect a ps3 wireless controller to a pc or playstation 3-whatever- my rating for this product is 1%, and i suggest to not buy it. however should i find whatever you need(a..cable? its..wireless. wireless. wheres the usb part. i bought this..because its supposed to be WIRELESS!!!!!!!) to make this work.. ill raise that to a 5 star restaurant rating.
until then.. consider this my current evalutation until the last part of this god forsaken story comes to a close the way it was meant to be.
..but seriously. dont off-handedly include anything about a usb cable unless its included. jesus crist..
(when i get the last part whatever it may be, the second review makes this one ineffective at that point, so read this very carefully]

Not "in the box new."
***Not a review of shipping or packaging*** ***Picture only for example purposes***I will say this up front; I am not reviewing the shipping/packaging. I am reviewing the fact that I ordered a new controller which usually comes in its' own case/container , i.e. Sony logos, PS3 box, plastic covering etc.What I received was a controller; nothing else. I am not even sure this is a "real" PS3 controller since it does not look like the one I have for my PS3. It does not have the similar information/placement for model number, barcodes, etc. When I hooked it up to my PS3 it would only operate when attached via charging cable; even after charging for 2 hours.I will continue using the controller but not sure it was worth the price. Buyer beware, maybe Amazon should include an "in the original box/container" for electronic equipment such as this.Again this is not a review of the shipping/packaging; the picture is to show evidence of how I received it.
