I wanted a second controller for my Playstation 3 so I could get a second player in on the action of Little Big Planet. Seeing that buying a second Sixaxis controller would run me as much money as a brand new game, I tried to be a little cheapskate hustler by looking into a third party controller by Logitech. The PlayStation 3 Logitech Cordless Precision Controller.
I have in the past had good experiences with Logitech equipment, so I assumed that I would be saving myself $30 by picking up their controller instead of a Sixaxis.
The controller itself looked nice when I initially picked it up off of the shelf. It had a matte finish to it, unlike the Sixaxis which has a high gloss finish to it. I liked the Logitech version better because I knew the controller was less likely to slip around in my hands while playing games.
The PlayStation 3 Logitech Cordless Precision Controller also appeared to be of better quality than the Sixaxis. It had a little more weight added to it and just seemed much more durable compared to the wireless Sixaxis which is pretty light and flimsy feeling.
It comes packaged with a USB stick that plugs into any available USB port located on the Playstation 3 console. The controller however still requires 2 AA batteries that get inserted into the back of the controller.
It seemed like a very decent controller for the price I paid.
Ah, but unfortunately my purchase was actually one I wish I never made.
