Been using the same DS3 since '08. Really is a great controller. My personal favorite.
-Better build quality than the PS4 controller
-No share button
-Rechargeable
-Start and Select buttons instead of "options"
-No silly track pad
-Rumble
-Not wired like DS2
-Symmetrical layout
-Works on PC with bluetooth and a third party app. No dongle.
-Thumbsticks made out of dog noses, no drift even all these years later
-Came with USB
-Pressure sensitive R2 + L2 buttons
Only complaint I hear about it is the D-Pad isn't "clicky" enough because it's one solid piece instead of 4 seperate buttons, but I've never found that to be an issue.
One thing I personally find annoying, most PC games don't detect it as a PlayStation controller, it has to use Xinput. It can be harrowing trying to find playstation glyphs for PC games and mostly they don't exist, you're stuck using Xbox inputs.
Also worth mentioning, if you're going to buy one make sure it's a dualshock (DS3) and not a sixaxis. The sixaxis is the original PS3 controller and it doesn't have rumble. Sixaxis was a motion control gimmick that almost no games used. Very few games had parts where you had to tilt or shake the controller almost like a wiimote without a pointer. It's basically useless but DS3 still has it.
