Must Confess

I truly cannot get used to this dualshock3..I am a newb (what's new)!! The vibration really throws me off from a distance especially if I strafe jump. I am a keyboard and mouse user, but have been switching to controller on my off time just to keep up to par.. I just wanted to get a feel for those of you who do have a dual shock3, how long did it take you to get used to the firm analog sticks compared to the old regular sixaxis non dual shock controller?

Wasn't much of a difference for me. Love the dual shock.

Not much of a change really from 6 axis in my opinion.Other then the fact its a bit heavier i guess.

DualShock is much nicer.  The original sticks would... stick, and you would wander off cliffs and in front of cars or airplanes.  I prefer a more firm stick when I'm putting the grip on one 

I turned the vibration off about as soon as I got it, plain and simple.  However, my main issue is that my dual shock controller is cursed.  Jumping and more specially, wall-jumping has a tendency to trigger an autofire, whenever I'm charging a bio, the impact hammer, or triple rockets, sometimes causing me to "randomly" kill myself.  I didn't have that problem with either Sixaxis.

At first using the dualshock was weird but I didnt care because if you compare to 2 of them, the dualshock is heavier (about the same weight as the playstation 2 controllers if you think about it just without the cord attatched) The sixaxis was so flimsy and poorly made compared to the dualshock. My sixaxis I got with my ps3 was really bad by the time I could afford a dualshock lol the joysticks were so worn out they wouldnt spring back into place at all! lol they moved freely, that controller was hard to play the game with but I had to make it work. Then it happened my r1 broke and i was playing ut3 with only secondary fire of every gun haha good bye sniper rifle lol. I tried changing my controls so my R1 missing didnt matter but it just didnt feel right so I just bought a dualshock an love it. Sixaxis sucks plain and simple.

Oh i forgot, i got them at gamestop for 5 bucks each.

^^ wont be gettin those 10 seconds of my life back now... damn

hey, I have those back button add-ons to, but it still doesn't remedy my controller's issues, which are getting worse by the day. damn it! I've had a few occurrences where the back buttons usually R2 "die" three to four times a match. for those who might of seen it, that's usually why I suddenly stop moving. when I'm standing still, I'm usually shaking the controller around because that's how the problem usually is temporarily fixed. even worse, my feign death button keeps randomly going off more and more. I'm considering just turning "feign death" off again. I usually feign death to joke around, but this is getting ridiculous.

i like were this is going

Well have to admit sony trained me at a very young age with the first dual shock for the ps1, and then remade for ps2, which both of those worked on the good old ps2..

I will admit sixaxis was quite light, for me though unreal tournament is on a small list of games that actually use vibration correctly, with each gun having its own feel, item pick up giving a specific sensation.

Its just something that you adapt to.
