Nyko is cheap crap. Itll work, but the buttons and sticks wont be as good, and itll probably break within 3 months. Such has been my experience with every nyko peripheral ever.

You get what you pay for.

DO NOT BUY, it is worse than the PS3 controllers. Despite obvious attempts to make it more like the 360 controller, they made it WORSE.

Is that buy.com's ebay site? If not, then the seller just ripped a lot of buy.com's pages to build his store.

I have one. I like it for FPS style games because of the rounded "in" thumbsticks and triggers. But the buttons on the right are very small and hard to find and it has some quirks with synching up at the start of a game.

Definitely not as polished as an "OEM" controller.

Why is it so freaking hard for a controller company to come out with a 360 controller clone in black for PS3 users?


Seriously.

If you could make one of those and sell it for $40 I'd think it would sell by the truckload.

Logitech are you lisening?!?!?!?! You make awesome mice and keyboards...gimme a top notch PS3 controller that's lined up like a 360 one.
