Under $15? Ugh, it’s tough to spot anything fresh secondhand under 30€, and most of what I find isn’t too reliable. If you’re serious about using it, it’s worth the cost (at least for your budget). I’m not really familiar with other controllers though.
Offers excellent value at 200%. Ideal for PC use, likely superior to the 360/xbone model.
BTW, can you connect a PS3 controller directly to your PC without any adapters, unlike the older DualShock 2 and earlier models? I’ve been thinking about getting one for my PC, even though it’s been more than six years since I last used a DualShock controller (on the PS2). I played on Xbox 360 for just over a year a few years back, so I’m used to that setup, but I’d like a fresh experience. How would a PS3 controller perform compared to an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller?
It works, though the program feels sluggish (you need to make your system act like a 360/xbone controller). For PC gaming, I’d suggest a PS4 controller instead. The software would handle things better, and the controller itself is more user-friendly overall.
It's a bit disappointing, but if the PS4 controller works better, I might consider it. If I can't find any budget options, I'll try using the PS3 controller—though I know its quirks, like fingers slipping from the triggers or analog sticks feeling a bit too close. I enjoyed the Xbox 360 controller back when I was playing games (the D-pad was tricky, but it was fun). Still, I think giving the Dualshock another shot could be worth it.
It's a solid offer—better than $30. You can connect the PS3 controller to your PC using the SCP PS3.
I really like it, and I favor it more than the 360 controller. It works well as long as you're comfortable with its dimensions.
Yes, it's a good deal but I'm uncertain about using a PS3 controller with a PC. I've tried Motionjoy and used both wired and Bluetooth setups. A few games didn't work properly. Some titles like Sonic Allstar Racing, Fouls Play, and The Cave seemed to function, though not all. Just keep in mind that certain games may not be compatible. If you purchase the controller for a specific game, check online reviews first to confirm its compatibility with Motionjoy.
