Overview : JUST A LITTLE TO THE LEFT AND...HAHA! OWNED!

How many times have your fingers slipped off the L2 and R2, and always at a crucial moment in the game? RealTriggers put a stop to that happening ever again!

Simply put... if you use a Sony™ PS3 Controller, and your serious about your gaming, you should be using these!

Quality/Usability : The Gioteck Real Triggers isnt really new. Its been available for sometime exclusively in Europe. The Real Triggers are made of two plastic pieces that clip over the L2 and R2 triggers on the PS3 controller. By doing so, this makes the triggers bigger and provides a ledge.

The Real Trigger has the same color, texture and feel as the actual trigger itself. This makes it feel like it was originally on the controller and not a cheap plastic 3rd party attachment. It doesnt feel out of place at all.

Having tested it with a couple of racing games and shooters, there was an improvement in my controls as well as the comfort when I hold the Dual Shock.

Conclusion : Overall, the Gioteck PS3 Sixaxis Real Triggers improves the L2 and R2 triggers on the PS3 controller. Whether you have a Sixaxis or Dual Shock controller, the Real Trigger will fit. This seems to be available only in Europe (at the moment) but it seems that Gioteck plans to release it globally. When? No idea but they should release it soon. The price is very very reasonable but hopefully the shipping doesnt cost as much as the triggers themselves.
