No thanks.

Most of the games I play are PC games.

Uhh no it's not and Lucas has reasons and mine nearly match too. I've used the thing enough times to realize I don't like it. I don't like the triggers, the buttons aren't comfy(face colors), and I really HATE that painful d-pad on it. I also don't like how the analogs are lined up all lopsided, but that's really a minor issue. You are right about only one thing really being wrong with the PS3, mushroom shaped stick, you can glide off them which sucks (same happened with the n64 stick too but far easier.)

I'd rather play PC games now. I got kind of tired of playing console games.

i hate all trigger buttons.. i was upset that the dual shock 3 decided to go with triggers for the R2 and L2 buttons.

i don't have a problem with the analog sticks though.. i love them. i feel they give you the most precise control compared to other controllers and i don't have the issues of thumbs sliding off.

^Ditto. My thumbs never slip.

**MR EPIC** · 11-07-2009, 12:10 PM

I bet they do and you don't even know it. "Slip" was probably the wrong term, but because of the shape and the smooth texture of the Sony's analog sticks it's natural for your thumbs to slowly lose their "center". I have to reposition my thumbs to often I don't even notice it anymore. But the 360 controller sticks are concave, have a somewhat chalky texture, and little embossed braile-like nubs, all of which contribute to keeping your thumbs in place for the entire experience. Plus they're properly placed for FPSes, unlike the PS controller.

nope.. they don't even lose their center for me.. mastering SSX has ensured that..

**MR EPIC** · 11-07-2009, 12:54 PM

Then either you're using more force than you should have to to keep your thumb in place or you put glue on your thumbs before using your Playstation.

Oh and 360 triggers > any other shoulder buttons ever (which is common knowledge outside of these forums).

Smokey · 11-07-2009, 01:21 PM

^Or your thumbs are inferior.
