Question 1

Is this a real authentic PS3 controller or a counterfeit PS3 controller? I ask this because I bought a PS3 controller off ebay that looked just like this but wasn't the real thing. Had the sony logo and everything too. So im a bit skeptical when buying gaming controllers online.

Accepted Answer

This one was a real one. Make sure the one your purchasing is sold through Neweeg and not a secondary vendor.

Question 2

is this real?

Accepted Answer

The one I bought was indeed real, but had a flaw where the left stick would only point in 8 directions, and it was still functional, but inconvenient. I'm not sure if any other of these controllers are like that.

Question 3

is this product new or used? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. The item is brand new. It will come closed in the original retail package with manufacturer seal. Normally, if the item was refurbished or open box it would be listed on the product page.

Thank you, 
Newegg Support

Question 4

Is this SONY original and brand new?

Accepted Answer

Hi,
The one that I purchased about 2 years ago was brand new.  Can't speak for the current models.

Question 5

How to use dualShock 3 wireless in PC?

Accepted Answer

It actually is possible, but it's not easy, and it'll require a compatible bluetooth dongle that you're willing to dedicate solely to your PS3 controller(s). In short, it masks the PS3 controller as an Xbox controller to ensure that it's easily recognized by most games; you'll of course have to make the necessary mental adjustment to understand that, for example an onscreen reference to "X" is referring to X on an Xbox controller, or square on a PS3 controller. The program will replace the driver for the bluetooth dongle, so don't use a dongle that's necessary for any other devices.

The tutorial I used to get it done was on YouTube--search for "scp ds3 wiltshire" to find it. It's a solid tutorial including links (in the vid's description) to a package containing the necessary programs and dependencies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Third party PS3 controllers (knockoffs) probably won't work wirelessly (they may not even work plugged in); I imagine this is due to differences in the controllers' software. I haven't bought this controller model yet, so I can't verify that it will work with SCP DS3, but I do plan to give it a try, so I'll say how it goes when I get it.

Question 6

Does this controller come with the ps3 charging cable?

Accepted Answer

Nope, charging cable is not included. You can use a standard USB A (male) to USB Mini B (male)

Question 7

Will the playstation 3 dual remote work with a playstation 3 as well?

Accepted Answer

I was referring to the dual shock remote for play-station 3.  I am asking if that will work with the legacy play-station 2? Thanks everyone!

Question 8

How long it took to receive the product?

Accepted Answer

It is the 18th of April, 2017, and i ordered the controller on the 3rd of April, and on the tracking it is still listed as "Pre-Shipping." Maybe my experience so far is uncommon, but just be aware that horribly long waits are a real possibility.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

New controller in original packaging.

Question 10

Will the playstation 3 dual remote work with a playstation 2 as well?
