Controller works like it should and is just as sturdy as any stock OEM PS3 controller.
Big gripe is no charger cable included for what you're paying for it. $54.99 + tax for a controller is rediculous enough, but for that price they should at least be tossing you a cheap, short cable for it.
As long as you're not getting a cable, you might as well pay the extra 5 bucks for one of the combo packs on this site that has the controller + a couple games and at least get a little more value for the cost...
What's great about it: Well it's the stock controller alright and works and feels just like one.
What's not so great: The cost is highway robbery, even worse with no charging cable included.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
