Almost Made It!,
I’ll start off by saying I never write reviews for any products I purchase, but I feel compelled to write a review for my fellow gamers out there seeing as there are hardly any reviews for the PS3 Black Ops PrecisionAim Controller.
The controller looks and feels great. The design and graphics are really top notch. I’ll even go as far as saying it feels better than a stock PS3 Dualshock controller in your hands. The L2/R2 triggers are way better than Sony’s triggers and they should take a page from MadCatz book in terms of the trigger design. The red glow illuminating the analog sticks gives the controller a nice touch.
Now on to the most important aspect of the controller. How does it handle during gameplay? The analog sticks actually perform very well when they want to work. Due to the included ‘lag free’ (lol) usb dongle this isn’t the case. The analog sticks themselves don’t really have any dead zones, but it’s the connection between the controller and dongle wherein lies the problem. The connection isn’t always consistent therefore causing a jagged flow to the movement you’re trying to accomplish on the screen. If the connection would have been wired like its Xbox360 counterpart perhaps the translation from analog sticks to screen would’ve been smoother. Another missed opportunity was the placement of the (2) combat buttons on the back of the controller. The buttons work great if you have really small hands. I almost have to bend my fingers on the back of the controller in a crab shape in order to even get near the buttons. They should have been placed lower so as to provide a more comfortable, ergonomic position for the way you grasp the controller.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this controller as the key features didn’t really come together as I hoped. We all know if you’re looking at this controller it’s because you want an edge in most probably a FPS game. This isn’t the controller for that added edge. Unfortunately, it was a missed opportunity and not by that much. Take it from me, as I look for every edge I can take as I have Tritton AX720 Digital Gaming Headset and Gunnar Optiks S6126/2-C004 Catalyst Shredder Digital Performance Eyewear with i-AMP Lens Technology (Crimson) for long gaming sessions and hearing all the small audio details that escape regular TV speakers.
Hope the review helps anyone that’s on the fence right now. FYI: Don’t bother trying the Pro EX Controller for PS3 it’s worse than the Black Ops controller (really big dead zones).

|Good second controller for the casual gamer,
Received the controller today and gave it a whirl on Medal of Honour, as Black ops is still a week or so away. Anyways the look of the controller is top notch, the artwork looks great and the red LED glow from the base of the stick is again very pleasing to the eye, especially at night.
I found no lag from the wireless controller, as some seem to think you might get,and the general build quality seems sturdy. The sticks are responsive, very much the same if not better than the stock controller. Shoulder triggers also feel abit grippier.
For the cons, the way I hold the controller, I feel the combat buttons are alittle low. Its not a bad thing as I am happy with them, just if the buttons we bigger, or oval in shape they might work alittle better. The Precision Aim isnt a big winner. Yes it slows the right stick down when the combat button is pressed but its to slow, unless your lining up a target on the other side of the map. The good thing though is you can remap the combat buttons on the fly so at least they dont go to waste. The D-Pad is also not as good as the stock controller so for anything D-pad dependent I wouldnt recommend it.
Overall I am happy with it, going to be a good addition to the PS3 and its seems to be built to last. If you like the look and keen to spend the money on a controller that isnt stock standard, I would recommend this all the way.

|This is the Issue,
So i Found this remote at my Best buy store. I was sold on how cool it looks. After i came here and read all the bad reviews and issues with this controller. I must say the feel and looks on the controller is beyond expectations. I got mine and I tried it out under these conditions.1 ) my computer was off. I did not have any 2.4 gh equipment runing in the house at that moment. The uSB Hub had a diret and clear view of the controller…and my controller had no lag or any problem. The issue is when I had it in my back the signal would become choppy. Beyond that i was happy with it. However my controller had a side pad that was loose and rattled, so the next morning i took it back in exchange for a new one that would not rattle. I was content with this change. Here are the bad news. Tonight i try the new remote (the not rattling one), my computer is on this time with a clear view between the USB HUB and my controller and now i can’t play anything because of this huge lag. The controller went from 5 to 1 star instantly. I need to be able to play as my wife uses the computer. THIS IS CRAP. I don’t know if the first controller was the exception to the online reviews but under other wreless devices it just won’t cut it.
MadCatz do something better and try it out before you put it in the stores. IT’S NOT THAT HARD!!
I ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,will take it back and it will stay in the store this time!!!
