The controller for racing games on the PS 3

Xbox 360 - Cable Controller (accessory)

Customer Review

Racing games are one of my favorite genre among computer games. Since the release of "XBox Controller S" for the old XBox I'm playing more and more gone over Racing only on the XBox. Unlike the PC I had to worry about installation or copy, the controller was just awesome.

The question of the "better" console is completely meaningless because I have both the PS 3 and the XBox 360 for me. With the PS 3 Controller I am, however, in terms of racing games never have been happy, because I am now accustomed to gas / brake to put on the shoulder buttons (LT / RT). Their operation on the PS 3 controller I feel after a game-time in comparison to the Xbox 360 controller as strenuous as I abrutsche easily. First I tried it with essays, but then had to notice that I, the position of the analog sticks on the Xbox 360 controller is better.

Various PS 3 games are unfortunately available on any other platform, and after the first few hours with Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) I started to look for a solution. All alternate controller for the PS 3 with XBox 360 layout had rather grown by reviews, which is why I chose the original and an adapter.

The following items I have bought new four weeks before:
1.) XBox 360 Controller Adapter for PS3 (XBOX 360 Controller Adapter for PS3)
2.) wired Xbox 360 controller

Positive
+) Key layout is as expected (ie PS button = Xbox button Select button = Back button, Start button is the same, etc.)
+) The instructions of the controller adapter defines the minimalism, but is ultimately sufficient: adapter to the PS 3 infect, infect Xbox 360 controller to the adapter, ready to work (can not install anything).
+) Is running properly on my PS 3 Slim also after updating to Firmware 4.00
+) Works flawlessly with all of mine tested games (racing games, shooters, "Child of Eden")
+) Is working properly when watching DVDs / Blu-Ray
+) PS 3 controller and Xbox 360 controller can be used together on the PS 3
+) No compromise on quality controller needed. Third Party and their fans please forgive me, but Sony and Microsoft are my clear favorite here, the controller of both manufacturers are quality second to none in my opinion.

Neutral
o) vibration of the XBox 360 controller on the PS 3 slightly stronger than the original PS 3 controller
o) PS 3 can be with the Xbox 360 controller does not turn on (no power at the USB, turn off the controller / system to function properly)
o) function for turbo buttons I tested only briefly, I do not use because it's a cheat to me. Pay attention that this feature is not activated by mistake, otherwise it does not work enter with the gas.
o) port adapter cable is approximately 1.20 m long. Here, however, is still the cable of the XBox 360 controller to do so. For me personally both again supplemented by a 5-meter USB extension cable, still works flawlessly.

Negative
-) After unpacking was a more than distinct odor when Controller Adapter perceptible which is still not completely disappeared after three weeks.
-) Wired. Small consolation - the controller battery is not unnecessarily empty when you look at a lot of movies.
-) The PS 3 controller has a position sensor

Conclusion:
The Xbox 360 controller is beyond all doubt. GT5 and MotorStorm Curling on the PS 3 with the Xbox 360 controller is even more fun than before, in all other games I come with two controllers equal along well.
