Fun:
While searching for a cheap alternative to the overpriced Dualshock 2 (DS2), I came across these, the Quickshot wireless controllers. "Excellent", I naively thought, "no more cables to trip over, and they're two for a tenner". However, the phrase "you get what you pay for" sprung immediately to mind after just 20 excrutiating minutes with them.
These imitation controllers do nothing to replicate the smooth feel of Sony's official DS2, nor the light and precise feel of the analogue buttons. The controller itself is a bulky monstrosity, more akin to the Xbox 360 controller in size and shape, and with an equally appalling d-pad (something that was absolutely perfect on the DS2); it's been replaced with a bizarre circular disc that flops around hopelessly whenever pressed. The face buttons are all clunky and unintuitive (and for some reason, convex, which is not exactly ergonomic to say the least), forcing the player to press buttons repeatedly just to attain the desired effect; the same can be said of the analogue sticks, which have a tendency to jerk around wildly and inhibit any precise action (for example, using a sniper rifle in Grand Theft Auto is nigh on impossible).
After merely a month of use (infrequent use I might add, I play my PS3 far more often) the controllers have developed a further quirk, in that when I press the stick to the left, my virtual character will twitch severely to the right before doing as I wanted. This. Happens. Every. Single. Time. Evading the police, for example, in the aforementioned GTA has become impossible due to crashing into lampposts every time I need to turn left.
Then there is the issue of practicality; in this day and age, they're still demanding 4 AAA batteries per controller. Yes, you read that correctly; FOUR batteries each. The cost of the batteries will soon outweigh any initial savings you may have made, so do yourself a favour and buy the real thing. Trust me; these controllers are worthless. Actually, that's not strictly true; they're rather on the heavy side, so they could easily be used as paperweights if you're so inclined.
