The Playstation 3 controller is a Wireless Sixaxis Controllers. With it comes the control for the ultimate game experience. Would this Playstation accessory swept you away? Find out more about this Playstation 3 controller, the Wireless Sixaxis Controllers.

Playstation 3 controller is wireless, as all game systems of the seventh generation gaming is. But unlike others, it operates on Bluetooth, thus not allowing other common gadgets like universal remote devices to control the Playstation 3. So that means there's no way to control the Playstation 3 console if you use it as a viewing platform for movies and music except if you use the Playstation 3 BD Remote or the controllers themselves. It also means that it only accepts signal transmissions that are generated by the Playstation 3 controllers and the Playstation 3 BD Remote, thus allowing a more secure gaming without wires.

This wireless Playstation 3 controller is said to operate at the farthest distance of 20 meters and operates on a 30-hour battery. When low on power, the Playstation 3 controllers can connect to the system without interrupting any function, whether it be gaming or viewing media. That means wireless is really an option, those wishing to have wires can have so.

This new Playstation 3 controller resembles the traditional Dual Shock of the Playstation 2, but carries changes beyond its cosmetic appearance. Like the R2 and L2 shoulder buttons. These have been enlarged but still are located on the top of the controller. It has an increased depth in stroke for more subtle game control though. Meaning, if a game is configured to make the R2 execute a punch, a miniscule tap will allow jabs to the opponent.

The Playstation 3 also has enlarged tilting angle for the analog joysticks. This enables a more delicate operation with wider range of motion angle. It also has 10-bit motion detection, an improvement to Playstation 2's 8-bit motion detection.

The analog joysticks were originally scrapped for a better implementation, the Six-Axis feature. This is actually a motion sensing capability, back to forward, left to right, up to down, the controller is facilitated to sense movement on these directions and can give information using these features. This is the new feature of the Playstation 3 controller. Not only buttons and direction pads can be used to control a game, hand movements also are included. Take for instance controlling a jet fighter in Warhawk: tilting the Playstation 3 controller upward will result the jet fighter to climb, tilting it sideways will likewise allow a roll. This is an interesting feature; take note of later games that will implement this new game feature interestingly.
