I wouldn't mind the buttons on my Xbox controller being closer together, but I couldn't deal with it being lighter and smaller. I personally love the heft of the '360 controller, and it's one of my biggest problems switching to the PS3 and Wii controllers (also, button layout).
As someone whose large hands keep me from holding a 3DS correctly and comfortably at the same time, smaller controllers are definitely not for me. Seems good though.
Luckily I don't need a gamepad for my Android phone because I have an Xperia Play. Only negative thing about that is that I have an Xperia Play.
You forgot to mention the #1 most important thing about the FUS1ON controller: it's not handled by Ocean Marketing. :D

definitely interested in that ps3 controller, since the dualshock is such an inferior first party controller compared to the 360s..
I've already got a Nyko Raven (360 layout) and a Giotek HF-2, but they're simply not accurate enough for shooters... I'm guessing
this is wired.. no biggie, if it's accurate... I'm still trying to figure out why sony hasn't changed their controller for over 10 years... it's tiny and the L and R 2 buttons need to be triggers... not to mention the horrible convex analog sticks that fingers slide off of.. sony should look to a company like this to design their next systems controller..

@jqm78 they are triggers... And also, preferences vary. I much prefer the ps3 controller for example.
If I get a PS3 and play FPS/TPS on it this controller is great. There's a reason PS3's aren't used to compete in shooting games at MLG and the like, standard controller is ass for it.
I'd get it simply because I hate the location of the sticks on the Dualshock controller, but I don't recall Power A having that great of quality. Being wired is a definite plus though.
Wired, for idiotic elitists who don't understand there is NO LAG on wireless controllers. Wired kills it for me.

I have 3 wireless and 3 wired controllers for my 2 360s -- they both serve their purpose.
I enjoy having a wired option for easy plug and play use on my PC, without having to utilize the PC wireless adapter -- it's also super easy to pack and bring to a friend's house without having to reach for the chargers/batteries/charge and play cord, and you never have to re-sync it.

The controllers for PS3 are wired because the last time a 3rd party did it, the battery packs had lethal flaws. Mainly exploding.
Elektro: I use a wired controller because I sit like 3 feet from xbox and it saves me money on batteries. Also I can use it on my laptop with ease. As Chris said, they both have their purposes.
I'm fond of the dual shock except for two issues, its grips and width are ~5% too small, and the flimsy L2/R2 triggers need the tension and contours of the 360's. Can you comment on either of those points?
@JQM78
I know that feel bro... I've got the raven too, and while it looked to be a dream in the package... it just wasn't... right'.... I wish you could just use a 360 joystick on the ps3... but just once I'd like to see a 360 ish joystick that doesn't suck... AND doesn't cost $80...

Well, the material is light, so some may misinterpret it as cheap. I however found it to be quality.

How are the deadzones on the FUS1ON controller? The Power A Pro EX and Pro Elite controllers for the PS3 have horrible deadzones (like 50%) so I'm hoping they addressed that issue.
I would totally skip on the current generation of handheld systems if the Moga platform gets enough support. That thing is too cool, and it looks like it might offer what the Xperia Play was trying to do but actually succeeding at it. These guys seem like they've got a lot of solid ideas for designing game controllers, and I hope they do well.
Also, a quick question for you, Holly: do you know if the Moga will fold over the screen like with a DS, or does it have to be carried separately?
@pundag:
Word brother, word..
The raven is great, but not quite where it should be.. I've even tried putting new analog covers and trigger covers on the dualshock3, but it still pales in comparison to the 360 ccontroller.

Meh, not interested. The left stick on the PS3 controller is in the wrong place, and since the DS3 is infinitely superior to any controller out there..... There's no need for flawed third party hardware.
@w4ffles
Sadly I did not get to test out the controller quite to that extent. That would be something for me to check out in a review.
@TimStuff that's a great question and while I did not think to check, from what I remember of the design I'm going to say no, you can't fold it over like a DS. The attachment was designed specifically to be small and light enough to fit in a pocket (which it does, if you're not wearing jeans lol) so I'm pretty sure that's accurate.

Shortened analog sticks remove degrees of rotation/sensitivity that longer sticks have. There is a reason most of those controller nubs exist. Bigger is better.
can everyone please stfu about which controller is better And just agree its all about preference god. also if you want real triggrr then go out to the fucking shooting range or something! the ps3 triggers are just fine i prefer using the R1 button to shoot as it is quicker but if u want a real trigger then just get yourself a damn move with sharpshooter atleast then youll feel like your holding a real gun with a trigger and stop whinning like lil bitches!
