To get the most out of your PS3, a dualshock 3 is the only thing you need
If you like shooters and are used to the 360 triggers, then these clip on triggers may be what you're looking for: Linky
You can get them in GAME and other places for about £3 so they're not too bad.
Unofficial controllers are very hit and miss, and controllers with Turbo functions are frowned upon, especially in online games which now sometimes have overrides to disable the function.
That XCM thing looks like it probably won't work now, since after the PSN hacking, unauthorised devices can be automatically rejected by the System to prevent hacking. You can thank GeoHotz and the other morons for that.
The more you use the PS3 controller, the more familiar it'll become, The PS2 is second nature to most people, and the PSOne, PS3, PSP and Vita all share the same controls ![]()

Unlicensed Cloned DS3 tech was also banned.
If this device Cloned DS3 technology with out a license that would be why it can fail...
Converting any device to copy a DS3 needs DS3 coding and thats only allowed if you buy official code...
If you don't remember Mad cats (once figured as a safe company) got hit by cloned tech from a bad supplier that upset a few people as there Controllers died.
Frag FX version 1 also Got killed with no support from the developer..
