any good ps3 controllers

ive had my ps3 for a few years and i still cant get 100% comfortable with the controller for fps games. its mainly how loose the sticks are. i do like the 360 better, but mainly because of how the sticks feel. i have the dualshock 3. my friend got a silver one and said the sticks were stiffer. i tried it and thought it was much better. are the newer ones any different or is it just because its new. i saw one at gamestop that looked just like the xbox one. anyone know if thats any good. or if there is some kind of ps3 controller that the sticks arent so loose after a little bit of use.

well i wouldnt go out and waist money for something i never tried, which is why im seeing if anyone else is using a good one. also i kind of figured my friends new controller was better simply because it was new. the sticks were much stiffer. he noticed it too and thought that it was a new kind of controller, i didnt know if the newest ones were any different. mine is a few years old.

thanks lae. i wont get a new dualshock just yet, since it will be the same eventually. ill see what i can find. if anyone else is using one that you think is good, let me know.

The Power A is apprently quite good, according to NeoGaf. I haven't tried it myself, though.

thanks again. that is the one i saw at gamestop. ill probably pick that one up.

If you do pick that up, please post back with how it plays. I sometimes feel the 360 controller is a bit too small and as a result uncomfortable, so you can imagine how I feel about the PS3. :( I would love to see more posts about bigger 3rd-party PS3 controllers.ChiliDragon

There's also a bunch of controllers originally designed for the PC using the usb. I find that the gamepads for pc have better sticks than the original ps3 controllers. But all in all I think this is a matter of preference. Some even like their sticks to be all floppy and worn down. x)

360 controller to small :?? How big are your hands?gmaster456

i did pick up that controller, so for anyone interested its ok. its about the same size as the 360. but the sticks are just as loose as the ps3, which sucks. but more importantly it has bad dead zone. so its pretty much useless for fps games. im sure its fine for other games that it wouldnt matter in. but i would not get this again and will probably just trade it in, since ill never use it. i now see why third party controllers are never a good idea. especially for fps.
