Alternative PS3 controllers - 3 affordable models
There are many PS3 controllers on the market: We will show you that in addition to the Dualshock 3, there are also inexpensive alternatives to choose from - whether with or without a cable.
1. Alternative controller for the PS3: Giotek SC-1 wireless controller
The unusual black and red color design makes the Giotek controller a real eye-catcher in comparison to the Dualshock 3. The arrangement of the analog sticks is reminiscent of the popular Xbox 360 controller design.
- The controller automatically connects to the PS3 via Bluetooth using a USB dongle. You can therefore use it on the PC without any problems.
- Compared to the original, this alternative offers all functions - you don't have to do without the home button either.
- Price: You can currently get the controller for 26.21 euros from Amazon, almost half the price of the original controller.
2. Alternative controller for your PS3: CSL Wireless Gamepad
The design of the CLS controller is based on Dualshock 3 and is kept in simple black. CSL only took some artistic freedom with the shape of the buttons.
- Connect the controller to your PS3 or optionally your PC via USB dongle and Bluetooth.
- Here, too, you can enjoy all the functions of the original and do not have to accept any losses.
- Price: A little cheaper compared to the colorful Giotek alternative, you can currently get the CSL controller for 21.85 euros from Amazon.
3. Controller for the PS3: CLS gamepad
If you don't find wireless indispensable: The CLS gamepad is available in the same design with cable.
- In this version, a 1.5 meter long USB cable gives you enough freedom of movement to sit comfortably in front of the screen.
- Without a wireless function, you no longer have to worry about a battery.
- Price: The absence of cable freedom pays off: With 14.85 euros at Amazon you are making a real bargain.
