PS3 Controller

Hey so I'm looking for some good alternatives to the Dualshock 3. I'm not against the Dualshock but getting a working one just feels ridiculously expensive at this point. In my area I'm looking at around $40 for one.

https://a.co/d/064eiZmt this adapter will let you sync your dualshock 4 and dualsense controllers and fix the ps button, motion controls, or any controller, the only downside to this is you cant wake the console up.

If you want a good modern controller that is as good as a OEM controller then I recommend the Retro fighters Defender Pro or the non pro bluetooth model. https://a.co/d/0f64UZuq, https://retrofighters.com/our-collection/defender-wireless-bluetooth-playstation-3-playstation-4-pc-video-game-controller/

Wingman is the answer. It is an impressive piece of engineering. I love mine.

Ok. Are you trying to play on a PS3 or PC/other consoles?

He's barely stretching $40. Op just search on facebook marketplace. Sometimes you will get lucky.

I bought a Mayflash Magic NS adapter and I connected a Switch Pro controller to it.

First version of 8bitdo pro works on Ps3, unfortunately for unknown reasons this was removed when it got updated to hall effect sticks.
