I've been replaying Spyro on my backwards compatible PS3 and I am noticing a very slight sensitivity issue.

I believe the DualShock 3's are more sensitive than the original DualShock and I would like to somehow just hook up an original DualShock to the PS3.

Can it be done? Anyone know of any good controller converters?

Okay, do you have any idea what the brand was or what kind of adapter it was? I have been reading mixed results.

Raphnet Technologies is hands-down the highest quality adapter brand out there.

I have OP's controller but need to replace the left analog stick, the joystick unit not just the plastic stick. Where can I get one? I see 3 pins and 4 pins for PS3

DS1 and DS2 and Sixaxis controllers uses the 3 pin sticks.
also Xbox 360 controllers

DS3 uses the 4 pin ones.

Does vibration work with these blue ones? I have a different model and it doesn't seem to support vibration.

>> No.5203663

>>5203637
everything works with default windows drivers besides vibration, mine came with a driver CD which made rumble work.

Since we're on the subject:

I have a PSOne controller right here and a Sixaxis. The sixaxis, even though it's half broken, has no issues with diagonals on the d-pad. Feels a little mushier (and more comfortable since it doesn't need much pressing), though cheaper somehow.

The one on the PSOne gamepad which I bought refurbished is weird as fuck. Seems sturdier and brand new, the sticks work nicely and all but the d-pad is just not there. I have to press quite harder for the diagonals and going up -> up-right or up-left for instance is much more difficult.

Any ideas there? Think it's because of the board? Its membrane? I just hate it how it does look like an amazing gamepad, all new and sturdy but at the same time it feels like I have to mash the buttons hard.

dual shock 2 has mushier dpad.
just get that instead since its backwards compatible with ps1/ps2.
