I'd like a quality rechargable battery, and bluetooth. If anyone sees one that actually works please pass it along.

You just need the ability to use bluetooth on your computer iirc.
I had no problems using my PS3 controller on my macbook wirelessly :)

EDIT: Vibration is kinda weak though. You feel it when you get hit/do a critical hit...but its not as strong as you'd expect from your average controller. Its a great pad, just with weak force feedback...for XIV anyway.

I'll mess around on PS3 later.

Get out old PS2 controller switch out the Vibration problem fixed? all joking aside but most controller for pc sucked when it come to that.

I'll try it on my rig and see what happens when it comes in. I'm hoping it works on PS3 with Portal 2. I need a 2nd PS3 controller so that's what convinced me. Watch it not work. lol.

I'll be waiting for your review then, thanks pal!

Generic Dual shock controller with a cheap logo paint job lol

It really does play nicely though, and the analog sticks seem more responsive than my wired 360 pad.

Anyone can tell me why i cant ship this to me? -_-

I tried to add other stuff and there is no problem but the controller show me this error:

We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.

They don't ship this to all countries? I am from Portugal. My address is ok and with some books dont show any error. Can someone help me please?

The controller gets the job done, but if you install the drivers from the website, you run the risk of having them BSOD your system randomly. This happened to me several times over the past few weeks, and it wasn't until I ran a full debug report on my system that I was able to find the driver responsible, and it was indeed the drivers for the controller.

That being said however, the controller minus the driver still gets the intended job done, and if you need a controller for cheap this is still a good solution. Ideally Snakebite is working on a fix for this issue however, as while the lack of the function button isn't huge, I miss the vibration function, and you can't get that without the driver.

I can't stand corded controllers at this point. When I came back to FFXIV I purchased a regular PS3 controller (needed a new one as my dog ate my old one) and an IOGear BT Dongle. So now, I can use my controller wirelessly with my PC. Just installed motioninjoy drivers and was good to go!

Only downside, the vibration doesn't seem to work. No big deal for me though!

The problem isnt the controller IS ME cant buy the fucking gamepad because says cant be shipped to that address, WTF! I added other things and didnt show that stupid error/warning for the other products. So yeah... sucks.

I just bought this bluetooth adapter for $9.98:

And this ps3 controller clone for $12.00:
