You got your Xbox 360 controller in my PS3


Recommended Posts

I wouldn't say this is useless at all. A lot of people wish they could use a 360 controller on their PS3, and this device makes that possible. Six-axis being lost is hardly the greatest tragedy ever either...let's take Resistance 2 for example. It's used to melee attack, and that's it.. I find R3 easier to use. Other games don't really make much use for it either, and certain ones that do (GTA4) use it for features not many use due to seating (laying) positions.

+1 it isn't very good for FPS i think...also is it just me or are the thumbsticks too 'rounded'? like the top of them? on the 360 they are indented so you thumbs don't slip out, which i like

QFT. I think Sony's design team eats a lot of hard candy and they all have sticky fingers. To the rest of the world the sticks and "triggers" are a problem.

Sony has always designed Playstations like that. Which is one of the reasons I disliked my PSP and PS2. Made the edges of my fingers hurt/slip after a while of intense Socom-play.

The problem is most devs know that the triggers are garbage and typically map primary fire to R1. So unless this device allows re-mapping of button assignments you'd be using RB for primary fire.

some fps games you can change the controller map and some even let you customise. so if anyone goes for this then i would recommend checking the conrtoller maps first for your preferred games.

i do agree though that the 360 controller is alot more optimised for FPS's and if the controller maps allow the triggers to be used for firing then all the much better :yes:

I like the PS3 controller, I just personally prefer the 360 controller. The analog sticks are placed better in my opinion, and the triggers are far better for FPS games (which is primarily what I play). I have a really hard time adapting to the way FPS games shoot on the PS3, since most don't use the triggers.

buy Giotech Real Triggers thats what I did but I have no problem using R1 to fire

Yeah I have the RealTriggers as well (I actually may have a different brand but maybe not), but those little pieces of plastic really make the world of difference. With that said, I want this personally.

So can it be ordered yet? I am not sure going by their site and the sites they link to, it makes it seem like it is available but then I see no links to actual purchase it?? If there is a link to buy it and I am missing it, please post it here.

But yeah, 360 controller on my PS3, Killzone coming out in a few months, goes without saying I would love for this thing to actually work and work good. I will get one in a heartbeat.

Yes the Control Sticks on the PS3 are horrible, but just as bad as the D-pad on the 360. FPS on 360 and just about anything else on PS3. Sixaxis.. I have a decent amount of games that support and use it well. Blast Factor, Locoroco, and Folklore off the tip of my head. Folklore is a GREAT action RPG and I would say that without Sixaxis controls the game would suck.

For the record, the best controller for a racing game is Logitech's G25. Hori's arcade sticks for fighting games and Mouse and Keyboard for FPS. It's a game by game scenario and when im forced to I'll usually use a PS3 controller for just about any genre over the 360 one (specially fighters... ugh Street Fighter 2 HD must be horrible on the 360). 360 controller wins out on FPS though.

Why is everyone hating on the PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller? I think its better than the 360's bulkyness

The PS3 controller apparently was not designed for use in human hands; the side-by-side thumbsticks don't work well at all for FPS games, and the analog "triggers" don't travel far enough.

I cannot stand the DualShock controller. When I do pick up a PS3, I'll be getting one of these adapters as well. Hopefully it'll work with the Logitech DriveFX as well, so I can play Gran Turismo 5 with my wheel :D

I've seen those, but I'm not sure how much Ben charges. He does say email for prices as they aren't hard to make, but to make and then (I assume) import to UK would cost a fair bit I guess. Parts, labour, shipping for a hand-made one-off product...:(

i've actually e-mailed him before to see how much he charges to make a PS3 controller with a 360 shell...$500 :\

I know some effort is involved, but 500 dollars?! :laugh:

If he made it reasonable, he'd probably get a decent bit of income on the side.

There's definitely some potential sales lost there that he's priced himself out of. Maybe I'll learn how to make a PS360 controller and make boat loads of money, laughing at him for not taking advantage of the opportunity.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
