The controller has come in the original Sony packaging.
Battery was radically empty! Shop you can him (and any other original Sony controller also) with a Standard USB -> USB cable min as has also, eg in the external WD drive there! So you have to buy a separate cable expensive!
When a controller is not detected on the PS3 generally connect only with USB cable! The console has recognized him later depends on the order in which you turn on the controller! So if you want the new as no. 1, simply turn on this as the first!
Thanks to very good battery it is rapidly charged (wait until it stops blinking).
For me it holds then a few days (of charging stations, I think in general nothing because even with the latest battery is not conducive to him constantly to load even though it is not empty).
In the white version of the red LEDs light up beautifully through the housing.
Otherwise provide a 1: 1 as the controller who was present (but just in a different color).
