Forever Young

Despite the advent of the Sony PlayStation 4 console and, accordingly, the DualShock 4 gamepad, the PlayStation 3 controller has not lost its relevance at all. First, the PS3 consoles, thanks to a rich library of games (many times more than the PS4), are still willingly bought both new and used. The console comes with only one gamepad, so most users immediately buy a second one.

Difficult with Windows, easy with macOC and Linux

Secondly, the gamepad can be connected to a PC via a USB cable or Bluetooth. In the case of Windows, you will have to resort to third-party applications, of which there are several at once: SCP DS3, XInput Wrapper, MotioninJoy and Better DS3. But with macOC and Linux, Sony gamepads work without any additional software.

Fight club

For fans of at least one game genre - fighting games - DualShock 3 is indispensable. Unlike the DualShock 4 and Microsoft controllers, the DualShock 3 has a D-Pad made of separate buttons, which completely eliminates accidental presses and allows you to perform even the most complex combinations of blows in fighting games with high accuracy. But the relatively small size of the DualShock 3 can be an inconvenience for players with large hands.

Additional features game controller Sony DualShock 3:
  • Position recognition system
