  I was looking for a controller because the original one I had for the PS3 after 15 years decided to make things difficult. I had to press the joystick up and down for it to register that I was pressing X.

  Anyway, this Saito 1200 controller is really the closest thing to an authentic joystick. In terms of appearance, it is identical to the original, and although the buttons sound somewhat louder when pressed, and the joysticks are slightly stiffer, affecting the texture when rotating the camera or moving the player. It is almost impossible to aim well because the button is so stiff that you have to press it harder. There is no way to aim slowly, resulting in having to move the camera left and right until it hits the target. It's really annoying.

  However, considering that Sony no longer produces controllers for the PS3, this is the closest one someone can get. If they can handle not being able to aim well in shooters, of course.

  The battery also doesn't last as long as the original, but it lasts for about three to four hours.

  Considering the cost is only 15 euros, and the fact that it is almost identical to the original PS3 controller, I can only say to buy it if there are no other options available.

  If you don't have a PS3 controller or are simply looking for a second one, give it a try.

  Rating: 6/10

  Stay away. Its worst flaw is that it disconnects from the PS3 every 2-3 minutes and you have to press the central button again to reconnect, a process that takes 5-10 seconds. Its battery life is short. I don't know if it happened to others, but in mine, the right joystick gets stuck when you turn it downwards, making it practically useless for gaming. Money wasted...

  I am the owner of this controller for a week now. First of all, I have to say that I did not expect such a good imitation.

  Positives:
  The analog sticks work with great accuracy, although I did not expect it.
  The buttons are of good quality.
  The feel in hand is almost the same as the original.
  As for gameplay, I did not find any difference in response compared to the original (I expected there to be a difference).

  Negatives:
  The battery does not last as long as the normal one, although it charges relatively quickly.
  The base of the controller is made of cheap material, you can tell from the first moment, so be careful with drops because it will probably break very easily.
  Overall, I thought it would be much worse than it actually is. It is worth the value for money.

  First, let me mention that no one will find the same quality as the original controller, and the problems I found are that the R2, L2 buttons do not function correctly from the first hour I used them, as they are not gradual as they should be (e.g. in Grand Turismo, I can't use the accelerator and brake as much as I want, it feels like a switch) and finally, while I just started playing, the buttons felt hard and stable, and after 5 hours they felt very cheap.

  It does what it says. I have been using it for about 2 months now and it works as well as the original. The only somewhat negative thing is that its battery is not "indestructible", but it can easily last for several hours of gaming.

  I have bought this controller *2 times and neither of the two can connect wirelessly with Bluetooth. I have tried two different Bluetooth devices to recognize it and neither of the two recognizes it. I can only connect with the cable and cannot connect wirelessly.

  It is durable. The joysticks lose a bit and I consider that they also have slightly lower build quality than the rest of the body

  Very good controller, faithful copy of Sony's dualshock 3, the only problem I noticed is the accuracy of the joysticks, I would not recommend it for first person shooter games.

  It works exactly like the original controller. No problem with the wireless connection. The grip is the same as the original. Overall, very good quality and functional for the money.

  Very good for its price. If you want to connect it to a PC, you need to get a Bluetooth adapter and install the appropriate drivers for the PS3 controller on the PC (however, the drivers will not allow you to use the Bluetooth adapter for any other purpose except for the controller). I believe it's worth it because it's also rechargeable.

  It's great for its price. I've thrown away many 50 euro bills for no reason. Just like the genuine one. Buy without fear.
