The Dual Shock 3 is undoubtedly building upon the solid foundations of both the Dual Shock 1 and 2, and is truly the only controller to be used alonside the PS3..

The build quality of the Dual Shock 3 is fantastic and is solid enough that it feels ultimately comfortable when in use but not so much so it feels too heavy and tiresome after a long gaming session.

The analogue sticks are fantastic and still retain their grip a good couple of years down the line with regular use, unlike the previous iterations of the Dual Shock controllers for PS1 and PS2 respectively. The buttons are responsive and always register a press, the triggers are far superior as they actually feel like triggers. The integration of sixaxis is a bonus ensuring that games make you feel more integrated.

This really is the only controller to be used with the PS3!
