Ps3 controller where basically the best controller ever made in terms of battery life and reliability. Hall effects, amazing battery life, could fall from a 2 story drop and keep on trucking.

They where so reliable that's it's part of the reason I think they have been slowly making them worse ever since.

So that people have to actually buy new ones.

Outside of a SINGLE battery replacement from age, my original day 1 ps3 controller is still going strong while every PS4 and 5 controller I've had has started to fail in one way or another in like a year ish.
