Gioteck Vx3 Wireless PlayStation 3 Ps3 Controller - Black

Good basic controller

I am comparing this to my official Sony controller to give a fair opinion.
Build quality is IMO 8/10 as the casing pairs do not meet perfectly but overall the feel is very nice with shaped moldings on the underside for your fingers.
A big plus is that it runs on AA batteries so no future battery failure or charging issues.
It pairs very easily but it has a unique wireless dongle which could fail or get mislaid and render the controller useless.
All of the buttons & sticks feel very nice, no rattles to speak of.
Analogue sticks work very well and the additional dips and grips are a welcome inclusion.
The one disappointment is the lack of 6 axis so in little big planet for example the character's head remains drooped.
Overall I have given it 3 stars, very close to 4 but with the 2 big negatives I have marked it down.
On the plus side it's only £9.99 from a big high street retailer, which is excellent value.
If you are looking at the Chinese knockoff's, you are just throwing your money away but this will be a great 2nd controller with a legitimate warranty.Read full review

Disappointing Gioteck

I previously owned 2 x Gioteck VX2 wireless controllers - @ £13 each the VX2 represented excellent value for money- performed well and had a quality feel with rubberised inserts an sizing consistent with the sony originals. Sadly this is not the case with the VX3- out of the box the pad feels cheaper and decidedly bloated in your hands when compared to the VX2 or dual shock / six axis. The pad does not perform well with signal dropping at those critical moments and in the case of the 2 new pads I purchased both battery covers broke within 1 month. The price may tempt you but look away from the light and put you money somewhere else. Both pads returned as faulty and full refund issued by argosRead full review

VX3 isnt better than VX2

VX3 uses an old fashoned way to communicate with console , it doesnt start it up and power saves it self while you play !

Good for the price

It's a good value wireless controller for the price, yes there are much better controllers but much higher price also.

If you want a budget wireless controller this will do the job adequately.<br>Read full review

The VX3 are excellent controllers they are by far the best one Gioteck has made. Comfortable, responsive and are better than the ps3 controllers.
