about the triggers...

Does anybody like the triggers on the ps3 sixaxis? I've read some opinions about it but I'm still quite curious. I really don't like them much, though it's the only thing I like better about the 360 controller. Those triggers are elevated and not slippery. The ps3 has a much better size and better joysticks but worse triggers imho.

I'm curious about opinions on the ps3 controller but here's my crucial question: Are there any ps3 controllers (third party, the dualshock 3?) out now or on the horizon that will have a different trigger setup? Thanks yall.

Without those middle fingers to hold the controller I kind of had to squeeze my hands towards the controller so it wouldn't slip out. I couldn't relaxedly let the controller rest in my hands. haha, very technical explanation I know.

Any more foresight into this? Are there any other controllers with a different trigger setup? Should I again try adapting the aforementioned method of controller-grasping?

the only thing i found is that
my fingers would hit the triggers
when i didnt mean to and thus
use/waste what ever is assigned
to the triggers..

the thing about the ps controller that i dont like is that 99% of the time, you will use the left analog stick in a game more than a D-Pad,,, the problem is that the D-Pad is the more ideal and correct spotting (across from the 4 buttons). When the original PS came out, they had these logistics correct,, they just never adjusted.

I dont know, after playin the 360 for 4 months, and now playing the ps3, the controller just doesnt feel as natural

360 controller > PS3 controller PS3 > 360

cant win them all

So there must not be any other third party controllers that elevate the triggers like on the 360, huh? Oh well, it's still an alright controller.

I hope they really make use of the triggers in mgs4. The combat, interogations, shooting, everything, could absolutely rock if those triggers are used. Like in mgs3, I don't know how many times I killed soldiers trying to interrogate them, trying to softly hold down the damn O button.Funny stuff, though not really. Annoyingly miserable stuff.

360 controller triggers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS3s triggers. Just my opinion.kieran88

I have to agree unfortunately.

Yeah I agree too about the triggers, even-though I love my PS3. I would gladly pay for a QUALITY 3rd party controller that more of a 360 style design.

i remember when xbox first game out,, there original controller was garbage,,, they then released a smaller one, a lot similar to PS2... Im hoping Sony adopts the same strategy (or even a 3rd party) mimicking the 360 one

anybody else feel like the ps3 controller is really cheap? its too light and seems like it will break in half

controller is light due to lack of dual shock, but it seems strong. i've dropped mine multiple times very hard, and they're fine.

this is somewhat similar to 360 controller: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/devices/848&cl=us,en

I love the PS3 triggers.

They have nice aftertough and do not squeek (like the xbox ones do).

I hate using the triggers as firing my primary weapon in FPS. For example on the Orange Box, everything used the triggers, so I completely re-did the controls.

Resistance has perfect FPS button layout IMO.

Thanks staticuxo and mbrockway :D. I have to read up some on those logitech and madcatzcontrollers.

Dude, you do that too??? I throught it was my own brilliant idea lol. Itried it for awhile, especially in Resistance, because it seemed ideal, but I gave up. Too weird.Rinoa_lover

I like R2 as the main fire, and play that way in Resistance. Also, weapon select didn't fit R2 at all, I like it better as R1. Anyway, in games like Uncharted, I'm fine with R1 as the main shooting button, and I never have a problem transitioning from game to game. The 360 controller is fine as well, but I like everything about the PS3 controllers a little more - maybe its because Sony kept it the same from PS1 all the way through to the PS3, and I'm just used to it. But to each his own.

Yeah, I feel that it's more sensitive to pressure than the others are, but unless you squeeze it tightly, or use it improperly, you should have no problems. But if your little cousins come over ...you know, the ones who get mad at games and through stuff everywhere ...I suggest you hide your PS3 and break out a Gamecube :)- Nintendo has targeted younger audiences for the most part, and their controllers can definitely take the most punishment. However, for consoles, the PS3 is a tank :D.
