    Controllers are a tough subject with many gamers, some prefer the simplistic and minimalistic, others prefer larger controllers like the original Xbox controller; some made the easy transition to the Xbox 360 controllers whilst some hold dear the PlayStation brand of controllers and their practically unchanged appearance. The snakebyte™ Wireless Bluetooth Controller looks to combine the best of all worlds for a truly premium controller.
    Players can stand up to thirty feet away and continue to play the games they love and it gives ten hours (10) of game time once fully charged.
    The snakebyte™ Wireless Bluetooth controller is really a Cinderella story of a controller. One of those things that just show up at the store and you’re glad you picked it up. http://thegamershub.net/2012/01/snakebyte-wireless-bluetooth-controller-review/

    The Other View
    Believe it or not, once I got my hands on the snakebyte™ controller, I literally tossed out my standard one. I'm not kidding; the functionality of snakebyte™'s unmatched.  http://www.the-other-view.com/snakebyte-ps3.html

    snakebyte™ is one of the few companies to step up to the plate with its latest controller, the snakebyte™ Premium Bluetooth Controller. The controller is built very solid overall. It features all of the features that a traditional DualShock 3 would have, motion control support, rumble, Bluetooth, and rechargeable battery via USB cable. Typically with most third party accessories you will lose some functionality, but snakebyte™ made sure to give all the functionality that you would find in a typical Sony controller.  http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010/07/04/ps3-review-snakebyte-premium-bluetooth-controller/

    "There is no doubt that snakebyte™ provided a better packaging value since the DS3 does not come with attachments (for who knows what) or, most importantly, a USB cable. To compare the controller’s size against the original DS3, snakebyte™’s is larger and feels more ergonomic in the hand. The handle span a much wider and has more natural angle than the DS3. The controller has already proven to be of better value than all of the third party controllers and even Sony's own first party. Even without the Turbo Function, it establishes the standard on what a PS3 controller should be."

    “An unwritten law of the world of console peripherals reads that third party manufacturer controllers are never as good as the Original, but the new pads by snakebyte™ are pretty damn close. The snakebyte™ controllers have earned plus points in the field test. The analog sticks are, apart from the minimally bigger neutral zone (dead zone), nearly as precise as the DualShock 3, all buttons have a noticeable pressure point and the directional pad has also delighted us. Particularly the L2 and R2 buttons are very felicitous; these are curved (concave) and prevent slipping off with the forefinger.” Overall ranking: "A" (Play3, 02/2010, Pg. 72)

    “The controller lies well in the hand, is cleanly processed and is easily operated. The joysticks are absolutely outstanding and even the directional pad can convince. Honestly, there are very little negatives noticeable. The best non-original controller for the PlayStation 3 up until now.” Evaluation: A / 90%  (PlayBlu, 02/2010, Pg. 87)
