Which is better 'Dualshock 3' or 'Xbox 360 controller'?

[JKH_Maguro]

I wanna here peoples opinion to make my decision.
Some games that I'm gonna be playing is TF2, PES2015, Portal, Half-Life 2, etc.

Good luck with setting up the PS3 controller using official drivers.

Hint: there isn't one.

On PC? Xbox 360 controller; or any controller that supports xinput out of the box.

As for the analog stick locations, doesn't really matter much to me.

I use a Logitech F710 Wireless controller for my games. IMO it's much better than a Xbox 360 controller. Highly recommend it.

Well, that's technically still a Xbox 360 controller, just like my Thrustmaster GPX Lightback as far as actual layout and API goes.

Neither is 'better'

However an xbox controller has official drivers that will work out of the box with most games on staem

the PS controller wont. And unfortunately most peple will recommend you install a Chinese Trojan called MotionInJoy. DO NOT DO THIS. Or you can run a plethora of other drivers like SCPDriver.

or you can just use an xbox controller and be done with it.

Exactly. All those recent Logitech controllers are basically Xbox pads shaped as PS3.
But personally I found them too expensive for the quality what they offer. (especially the 310 series is a complete dud) The official X-Box pad still wins, although the d-pad need skill to get used to.

But the regular PS3 controller won't work without setting up some 3rd party software which are complete bloatware.

Therefore to hold us to the initial question - the X-Box pad is better, because it officially works on PC, while the PS3 doesn't.

I would still avoid such bloatware that connects online whenever the executable is run.
