Good 3rd party controller?

I'm looking for a bigger controller for the PS3. After using the 360 controller, the DualShock's handles just feel way too small for an adult. Nyko makes one that looks very similar to the 360 but it has no motion sensor which I'm concerned about. Does anyone have this?

*edit: That one DOES have tilt sensing afterall! Wow, tempting...

I was about to post the same thing. Love my 360 controller but hate the tiny PS3. Do they think everyone has small hands?
Did you ever decide on a replacement?

I have been looking for the Nyko at local retail and nobody has one as of yet . It got good reviews so might be worth a shot .

I got it. I didn't like it. Bigger than the Sony? Yes. More comfortable? No. D-Pad - horrendous. Flash drive - enormous and annoying.

I'm just going to get the Dual Shock 3 and get the real triggers - armor package thing off Amazon when they come (I think April 10th). I have a rubber skin for my SixAxis that I got at GameStop that makes it a little more comfortable because it makes it a little easier to grip.

Ignorant fanboys killed off what would have likely been the best, most comfortable controller ever without even laying on a finger on it.

A wired controller just so it can be "chilled??" LOL I believe this thing has been on Logitech's website for a while now and it's only $19.99. No rumble or SixAxis or power on capability mentioned.

I just got the Nyko Zero with Rumble, it is great, much more like the 360, much larger for american size hands. I can finally play games normally again! I would highly recommend it.

I have the Zero with Rumble.......are you having problems when using it with the Sony Bluetooth controller???

My Zero will not work with certain games if it is the 2nd controller.......t has to be on the 1st controller and then i can turn on the Sony controller and both work fine.........but if I turn on Sony controller 1st and then Zero ........the Zero will not work at all with certain games!!!!!!!!!

I think it has someting to do with Bluetooth and USB clashing...not certain though!!!!!

I have this controller and i hate, it feels cheap and just doesnt sit well in the hand, and i hate the fact that it was wired. the only reason i bought because it was cheap and they were out of sixaxis controllers in the beginning launch months. No tilt sensor either

I have 3 controllers which I use fairly rarely. I'm looking to pick up a 4th controller, preferably one that works and is quite cheap.

I know someone will no doubt recommend the DS3, but I don't want one because I doubt I will ever even use the 4th controller after the Superbowl.

thanks.

The thing is, it wasn't even PS3 fanboys, it was 360 fanboys talking ****.

I was looking at this one. http://www.madcatz.com/Default.asp?P...S3_Controllers

I found a place that has it for $20 which seems like a pretty good deal since it has vibration and sixaxis.

thoughts?
