I bought this thing because my brother-in-law had one and he said it was great for Tiger Woods Golf because the left joystick was so stiff it would deliver a perfect swing. I think what happened was he just ended up getting a one in a million controller that had a beneficial malfunction because the one I got sucked at it. The infra red wirless remote thing sucks too. My PS3 is in an entertainment center with an opague glass. The infra red receptor doesn't always pick up the signal through the opaque glass and I can't leave it open because I have a 3 year old daughter who doesn't realize the difference between a PS3 and a beachball yet (But she is still my Li'l Angel). In my opinion you'd be much better off sticking with the Sony wireless controller.

I already have two DualShock 3's; a black and a white one.
Bought from ebay before they made it officially here.
I thought that they would be enough.
I kept looking at the Nyco and thinking, meh no power on.
And yet, I decided to get it.
I believe that it was worth every cent.
Yes, the version I got HAS VIBRATION.
And with the new In-Game XMB, I can access all I need with it.
Besides, my PS3 Bluetooth DVD remote that sits on the coffee table can serve that (crucial) initial on; or I can walk (goodness :-) up to the PS3 and power up.
Truly the most important aspect of the Nyko is being a must for big, tall all whatever guys. I am 6'2" and around 200lbs.
The DualShocks (and the SixAxis before that) just don't feel as good in my hands as this one. More grippy, less slippery, easier for longer sessions. And all that translates to better gameplay; I was able to clear events that I was not able to with the DualShocks.
All I can say it, it's worth giving it a try; you may not be dissappointed;

i like this controller. it has good weight to it and is much bigger then the sixaxis.
my only complaint is that all of the print ads i have seen for it as well as nyko's product description on their website list this controller as having rumble. it doesnt. there is a tiny disclaimer on nyko's site saying that the next version will feature rumble but wont be released until late march/april. if i had known that i would have waited to buy one.

I am very happy Amazon has such a great return policy, because if they didn't this would have been a wonderful way to waste 50 bucks. This controller feels very nice in your hands, but it just doesn't work. The control sticks are not responsive at all, and games like Call of Duty 4 are pretty much impossible to play with it. The 'X' button also works about 10% of the time. It generally took me about 10-20 presses of the button before I would actually jump. The R2 and L2 buttons are also not very good, as you have to push them ALL THE WAY DOWN before they work. This controller feels amazing in your hands, and it also looks nice, and comes with a long recharging cord, but it is a piece of junk. If you are looking for a new PS3 controller, get the DualShock 3. You can order them online now, which is an import from Japan, but works without any problems with American consoles(I own one), or just wait until you can buy them in stores. I really wish this controller worked better, because

The Pro's:
It is comfortable.
The Cons:
It doesnt switch on your PS3.
The D-Pad feels like its going to fall off.
The Analogue triggers dont work 100%.
Item is not as pictured by Amazon.
The Analogue sticks are slow responding.
I bought 2 controllers and both have exactly the same problems.
Now I've been burned twice by NYKO. And what frustrates me more is that I was stupid enough to believe that this could of been a good product.
Buy genuine Sony, even Logitech. Ive never had a problem with them.

This controller is comfortable and has a play & charge cable that is 6 inches longer than the Microsoft xbox 360 controllers that is all it has going for it.
As you can see in the photo it is supposed to be black with silver on the handles. It is all black.
It is supposed to have VIBRATION in the photo you can see a button labeled "VIB" VIB = VIBRATION!
No Vibration.
The CES 2008 interview with NYKO says this controller has vibration!
It is not staying connected to the wireless dongle very long.

I have to say that this is the best third party controller I have tried for my PS3. I have tried several different controllers to accommodate my big hands and fingers sliding off the analog and trigger buttons. There was just nothing out there...
One Tip: To get it to connect right away, just slap some double "A" batteries in it and setup it up from there, yes YOU WILL have major problems connecting if you try to use the included rechargeable battery before you actually charge it up which takes about 30minutes to charge. So for instant connectivity just have you some "AA" batteries handy.
Once it is connected OMG you will not be disappointed. The controller is very responsive, intuitive and is very similar to the XBOX 360 controller design. It sits very comfortable in my hands, with the concave analog stick nubs and trigger buttons that allow your thumbs and index fingers to sit right in and not slide out. This was a constant problem with Sony's OEM controller, I would be in the

Terrible connectivity, wouldn't set up right out of the box - i'm not a retard, i followed the instructions to the letter, and it took me 15 tries before the controllers ACTUALLY connected.
Want to keep them connected? Good luck. During 3 hours of play with Uncharted, they disconnected over 5 times, without any reason - no blockage or interference between the system and the controllers. They just suck.
Say you get up for a beer, you might just put the controller down on the couch and get up. Well, if you accidentally put the controller down not facing the USB Receiver, it disconnects! Then, have fun spending another 20 seconds getting it to connect again! :D
There is no rumble - it's supposed to have it, from the CES video interview they said they had it. Guess what? It doesn't have it! They probably will release a combo battery/vibrating pack later I imagine, as all that I can find on their official site ( Their FAQ says "coming soon"! hahaha ) is that it "supports vibration functions

I am a big guy - 6'3" @ 220lbs - and the original ps3 controllers are too small for my hands and feel of cheap plastic anyway. I have been searching for a replacement controller and have found an exceptional one in Nyko's Zero. It is sturdier and larger than original and makes for more comfortable game play with my oversized mitts. It has full functionality, including tilt-axis, EXCEPT for being able to turn on PS3 remotely; I use the bluetooth bluray remote control for that - problem solved :)
My one gripe being that its still not big enough :( This is definitely an adult sized controller, I just have really big hands.
Bottom line: if you have big hands that occasionally get sweaty ... this is the controller you need for PS3!
