The Bottom Line While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning. The PS3 Wireless Keypad is the best way to chat with friends and browse the Internet on the PlayStation 3. The Nyko Zero Wireless controller makes for a decent secondary or back-up controller, but doesn't fully match the comfort and performance of the DualShock 3.
