What's great about it: Ergonomic, good quality, and good price
What's not so great: The right toggle little too sensitive
This is a great controller, more comfortable than the original PS3 controllers, and almost $20 cheaper. You can go wrong. The quality is good, both my daughters use it (or abuse it) daily and we have had no problems or issues with it. The only thing that I can complain is that the left toggle is more sensitive than the PS3 controller so if you are switching back and forth, there is an adjustment period.

This Controller Is Great..!!
U Get The AfterGlow Ap.2 / USB Cable To Charge / And Wireless Link USB Adapter, That Lights Up The Same Color As The Controller You Picked. You Can Turn The LED Lights On/Off - Very Nice..
The Power Last About 9/10hrs And You Can Play It When It Is Charging, Will Not Mess Up Batt. Memory. "Just Fully Charge 1st Time".
Over-All: Way Better Grip.! And Way Better Than Normal PS3 Controller. And The PRICE Is Half.. GREAT DEAL.. 10/10..!
Enjoy.!!!

What's great about it: I like the way the joystick and buttons are arranged. Makes it easier for gaming.
What's not so great: Syncs to playstation 3 only with a removable USB drive
Controller is excellent and handles well. The only downfall is it does not directly sync to the playstation, you have to make sure you use the USB plug n play

What's great about it: off set joy sticks, feel, long charge cord, no problem syncing
What's not so great: usb plug blinks whenever plugged in
For XBOX gamers that also use a PS3, the controller is a good buy. I'm sure there are other controllers that are similar. I thought I would use the light up feature more often, but after purchase, I find it a bit of a distraction. That being said, it does what it promises, so no complaints. I only rated it a 4 because the USB plug blinks when the controller is not active, so if you use another controller or the BD remote, make sure to unplug the USB.

Pros - Lights up, clear, good batt life.
Cons - joysticks are stiffer than the duelshock III. Makes a diff when you play COD. With the OEM, it feels looser. With this one it makes your reaction a split sec too slow..which makes a diff in that type of game.
Got it as a 2nd controller for the kids. Got it cheap on a trade in so cant complain too much.

What's great about it: Lights up, wireless
Same as the regular controllers but it lights up so the kids think it's cool when the room lights are off or dim. Cheaper here than anywhere else.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: USB link
This is a very good PS3 controller the wireless works perfectly but since I have the slim of the PS3 I only have two USB ports. The LEDs work perfectly and it is riged on the bottom so it is very comfortable. Finally they make one in XBox 360 style.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Almost Everything
What's not so great: Some Minor Issues
Like many people in the 3rd party controller market, I have been looking for a well-designed controller with the XBOX 360 layout for PS3, and this is nearly perfect. The analog sticks are concave like 360, and the cross directional pad doesn't click when pressed. I tried this out on BioShock and Dead Space and played each one from beginning to end. I have beaten these games on both systems with Platinum trophies and 100% Achievements. Using the Afterglow for each game felt no different than using the 360 controller, with the exception of the triggers. Afterglow models its triggers after the $5 Real Trigger accesory, so they are short and wide rather than long and thin. I feel they are still better than DualShock triggers.
The face buttons and the cross pad do not feel as smooth as the DualShock when pressed, but they don't click and they're better than the rest of the 3rd party controllers I've used.
I have 3 minor gripes:
1.) You cannot power the PS3 on with Afterglow - only off
2.) If you leave the USB receiver in one of the ports and decide to use the DualShock controller instead, it will flash at you incessantly. There is no option to stop this except unplugging it. (I prefer DualShock for games like Magic, JRPG's, the my-turn-your-turn type games, and AfterGlow for FPS, RPG, etc.
3.) Afterglow does not work with Alien Breed 1-3 for some reason, nor does it work when playing PS2 discs in the PS3

Other thoughts: The LED's are really cool, the vibration works perfectly, and the controller is also ridged on the underside, which is quite comfortable. I have logged approximately 40-50 hours of use with it at the time of this review. Have owned it for about 3 weeks.

What's great about it: Nothing.
What's not so great: Color is not as described.
So somehow I managed to get a purple controller when the description clearly states it is only available in blue, green, and red. When I went into the store to pick it up the employees were indifferent about the fact that I would be gifting my dad a purple controller. Then they told me that had to be what I ordered because that was the order number. I really appreciate customer service when they TELL you what you ordered. Will not be shopping at Best Buy anymore. Walmart offers the same electronics for cheaper prices.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
