Nyko's Zero Wireless Controller for PS3 Has Number One Potential

Gamedaily writes: Nyko's Zero Wireless controller seems like the result of a company seriously listening to gamers. Inside the $59.99 package is the controller, a rechargeable NiMH battery, an additional battery pack for two AA batteries, a 10-foot hot red USB cable and a USB wireless receiver.

It's Gamedaily which is the one and only site I ignore.

Chris Buffa, can't write crap and get away with it.

lol a Ps3 controller shaped like a 360 controller. Its nice for gamers who like the 360 controller but i am perfectly fine with mine thanks. It really makes no sense to me how someone can chose inbuilt rechargeable batteries with a controller that isn't inbuilt. Its like people love replacing their batteries.

If it bothers you that much get a longer usb cable they can't be more than 10bucks and they are guaranteed cheaper than buying more AA batteries or even buying rechargeable AA batteries. This isn't much of a surprise though. Offcourse gamedaily wante the 360 controller on the PS3 after all 360 is greatest console of all time only natural that PS3 should have greatest controller too. What a load of crap

that...controller looks just like the original Xbox controller..which was dubbed "Big Bertha" after resulting in serious hand cramps the likes of which Carpal Tunnel has say in. No thx.

[JOLLY1]

It was dubbed the duke.

[Wise Rant Monkey]

<I called it "Mangina")

[Wildarmsjecht]

You can call it the duke or w.e I called it big bertha cause it just felt big, clunky, and disgusting. Duke makes it seem as if it was some sort of royalty...which it wasnt. But hey, we can name it w/e, still a bad controller.

why nyko's pad isn't arrive in europe???

i try to search this pad for 6 months but no one find it...

[LevDog]

Why would you pay 60 bucks for a knock off, When you can spend 60 bucks on DS3? I understand that Europe doesnt have it yet, but you can always order online and have it shipped to you for like 5 extra bucks..

No blu tooth haha weak.. That means if you own a 40 gig, one of your USB slots would be taken up by a controller????? Umm Gay

[PoSTedUP]

looks to big and clumsy for me.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I can't take a site seriously with an article titled like that, not to mention this device is obviously crappy. I haven't tried it, but I will have to boldly say that this controller is not a deal!!!

[Mc Fadge]

You just ADMITTED to not having used it, and then say it's crappy... Strange :/

[TapiocaMilkTea]

I agree, 3rd party controllers never last long, the buttons always feel weird, they are only good for your little cousin when they come to your house to play.

[mindedone]

Can't make this controller.

Gripes about DS3:

Curvature of the Analog sticks: should curve in, not out.
Curvature of R2 and L2: see above.
Size: I have to hold the DS3 with my fingers instead of my entire hand. It could be bigger.

I personally think that the R/L1 buttons are fine as they are, as well as the rest of the buttons. I also like that R/L2 aren't hair triggers, that's what I use R/L1.

Nah, I'm sticking to my Dualshock 3 controller. I've never been a fan of 3rd party controllers, and I don't like how the directional pad on this Nyko PS3 controller is like the Xbox 360 controller, it's like one big button.

I honestly don't see why the Dualshock 3 controller design has been getting so much hate since the 360 has come out because the Playstation controller has been around for OVER 10 years and there weren't any complaints about it before.

[lawgone]

Yes, the form function has been around a long time and it needs to be improved upon. But, all the improvements needed were already covered perfectly above by mindedone.

[Big Jim]

The Playstation 2 controllers had R2 and L2 'buttons' instead of concave triggers. A lot of people hate the PS3 controller's R2 and L2 triggers. Their fingers slip off.

boomerang. pay for it and if it sucks you can turnaround and get you money back.

[Vito_corleone]

Wow folks we have a comedian with us. Tells us something Joker, no seriously your hilarious. I love you, marry me.

[katana523]

lol i like the name zero...it says how much its worth..other than that dont know why someone would name something zero.

[beoulve]

i got that zero wireless... doesn't play as good as sixaxis..
HATE IT.
stick with dualshock 3.

[TheWickedOne]

It doesn't look too comfortable and it looks like sh1t

[aiphanes]

Until Sony comes out with the transformer controller stick with the DualShock 3....there are some places selling it for $40...

[tweaker]

That looks really generic and unreliable. IDK who would take that over an authentic DS3 controller.

[xplosneer]

as pointed out, D PAD is one button, and a USB key=bad. I understand you can get a USB hub but who wants the clutter?

[JoelR]

Dongles are so last gen...

get with the program Nyko - use the bluetooth that is already there.

[level 360]

At least the triggers ( L1, L2 ) are well designed.
