    I've had this controller before and loved it a lot. I was very happy to see this company had the same controller for a good price. Now that I have the controller, I'm more than happy. As they said, it was like new. It works very well and the light on the controller is perfect. I love it.
    The company itself is amazing. I had a small problem with shipping and they immediately responded and worked the problem out. They were very helpful and nice, had great customer service. I would definitely buy from them again.

    We purchased two. One worked fine. Still works, in fact. the second one was problematic from day one, not charging well due to intermittent connectivity at the USB connector. Returned it with ease and received a 2nd one that had a similar issue but rarely then it was dropped once from about 18 inches and pieces broke on the inside. I would spend a few bucks more for higher quality

    These worked for one night and then never worked again. They would not connect with the RF receiver. I had to give one star however so that I could write something for you, the discerning buyer, to read. Buy at your own risk. My recommendation is not to buy it at all.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great controller (doesn't stand up to rough use though)
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Great controller. My kids loved it. Only issue is it doesn't hold up as well as a regular PS3 controller made by Sony. I have younger kids so they tend to get dropped frequently on hard floors. The Sony controllers stand up to a beating. This one lasted for about a month and now one of the buttons doesn't work. Too bad. I had planned to get another one but now I'm only going to stick to the Sony controllers until the kids are older. If you don't have little ones to worry about handling it though this works great and looks nice.

    I purchased two of these controllers for PC and PS3 gaming about 8 months ago and I love them. When using this with a Sony PS3 controller, the Afterglow controller needed to be charged half as much as the battery life is much longer. They are very sturdy as I've accidentally dropped one of them twice onto hardwood floors and it is still working. The feedback is solid and I think it's a great buy for the money. There was a minor issue with some older cell phones causing interference, but it was easily fixed.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Gameragers.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I was awesome, but unfortunately my problem started with something I should have realized before I bought it. It doesn't turn on the Playstation 3 because it's a third party content device. I should have known, but after that I realized more about it. The R2 button chipped off after a month of use and the rest was downhill from there. Do NOT drop the damn controller, it WILL BREAK INSTANTLY. It's not very durable, so please, don't buy it if you're known to throw your control in gamerage (that would be me). Even if it is on the carpet (in my case) it was just sad (I swear it wasn't even that freaking hard.)
