Alright, stop with the hating, if you really have issues with the PS3 controllers, tell us why with a good reason since none of you have tired it.

From my perspective, if I were holding the controller in front of me, I would suppose that that left analog stick would become painful to use after a while (by making the thumb stretch). My next problem is if I am using the analog sticks, the shoulder buttons are going to be a serious reach while my thumbs are working the sticks. Next, no triggers seems like a lack of concept IMO. Also, I do not see an "on" button for the console, not that that is a major setback, but would seem a little obvious for a next-gen controller. The botton layout seems a little spaced out, but I know the size of this is deceptive so this may not be an issue.

Anyway, that is my take on this controller- true, I have not tried it so my conclusions are by no means finalized. But just from a topographical perspective, I am hesitant to label it "good".
