Second Thoughts on the AfterGlow AP.1 PS3 Wired Controller
No, I’m not changing my original statement that this controller is awesome, it most certainly is. I would just like to point out a couple differences that kind of get at my more nit-picky side when it comes to being comfortable during multiplayer gaming.
I don’t know if it’s because the controller is wired, because it is made by a third party, or just because it has the XBOX thumbsticks, but the AfterGlow AP.1 PS3 controller is a bit more sensitive than controllers I am used to using. It’s not really noticeable for movement or in non-FPS games, but when looking around in FPS games, especially while aiming down the sights, the sensitivity on the AP.1 is much higher than the standard PS3 controllers. This would probably not be a problem for most users who would be using the AP.1 exclusively and could grow comfortable with the new sensitivity, but I have been doing some switching between the AP.1 and the PS3 controller that came with my console and the sensitivity difference is quite damaging to my gameplay.
Like I said, it’s still a great controller, I just thought I’d give some second thoughts on it after having used it for a while.
