## Questions & Answers

**Q: what type of cord plug, other than usb, is required to charge this? Might I already have a cord at home to charge this?**
A: Any cord with a mini usb end to plug into the controler and a full size usb to plug into a charger, pc or game console will work. Any charger that has a mini usb connection and the correct voltage will also work.

**Q: Which colored controllers have a flat-surface-finish instead of glossy?**
A: The blue controller has a less glossy finish .

**Q: Will this controller work with the original PlayStation?**
A: No, this is a PS3 controller.  The PS1 & PS2 used a different type of connector.  PS1 & 2 both used PIN connectors, the PS3 changed over to a USB connector.  Sorry.

**Q: Is it made up of metal?**
A: No, it's colored plastic just like the one that came with your PlayStation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great piece for my collection
*by A***R on December 10, 2024*

ProsGenuine Sony Dualshock 3 productCosmetically awesome even though it was used beforeAll buttons and rumble are workingConsBattery died probably while kept in warehouse (it is not a big deal, easily replaced)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very good
*by E***Y on September 21, 2013*

This is an authentic controller, not a knock-off; I was a bit unsure because I've never seen gold. I purchased this back in July (2013), and I only use this on my backup console in the spare room, but so far nearly 3 months later there's been no issues). This came in sixaxis packaging, and L3/R3 joysticks are very responsive, so that's pretty much how I know it's not a knock-off.Good product, will buy again, and definitely recommend. One bit of advice is to add it to your wish list and watch the price as it will fluctuate. I typically do not pay more than 39-43 for a controller anymore, and with Free SSS (or prime customers) there's no shipping costs.

### ⭐ it makes it useless, or you have to share charging time with ...
*by W***E on June 12, 2015*

For a $50 controller, you would think they could throw in the standard 3 foot charging cable. Unless you have an extra one, which I do not, it makes it useless, or you have to share charging time with an existing controller.The product description leads you to think that it would have a charging cable:"Charge the DUALSHOCK 3 with the PlayStation 3 system using the controller's USB cable. And you can even plug it in during gameplay, so you'll never miss a beat."The box when it arrived clearly stated it did not.To not put a cable in the package is completely inexcusable in my mind, again if you were buying this from scratch, it would make the product completely unusable as a controller, its an absolute joke especially considering these are already far more expensive controllers than just about anything else around.
