OK so now on with the review ....

For this test I will be trying it out on my PS2 and my PS3 and my PC


Test 1

Spoiler!

On my PS2 you just need to is turn on your PS2 with a game in.....remove your normal PS2 pad and connect the

wireless adapter ...



To your PS2 by just putting it into the Joypad port of the PS2 ..put the batteries in the joypad and click the power switch

on the pad to the ON position and it connects wirelessly automatically but the manual advises for first use of if you have

not used it for about 3 months ...to press the button on top of the adapter to sync the pad and adapter together .. once

pressed the RX light will flash while it connects to the pad and then your good to go!

From then on it works just like a normal PS2 pad without the messy wire that leaves you thethered to the console ..

I tested with a couple of games with and without rumble and its no difference at all with the feel or usage compared to

the real wired pads the buttons all do the same thing the analogue sticks, shoulder buttons etc function just how they

are supposed to do with the console it rumbles ok with games that support it... maby not as good/strong as the official

Dual Shock pad ..... but it works!

Test 2 PC

Spoiler!

It connects using the USB adapter and the Wireless adapter connected together then inserted into the USB port of the

PC ... You now just have to turn the pad on and it will connect ...(if you have any problems with connection press the

sync button on the Wireless adapter for it to re sync its connectivity to the pad) ....

Testing with the PC It works ok with a couple of games but most games are just not configured to use or have to be

manually configured and some just dont have the ability to be able to use the PS2/PS3 controller.

Test 3 PS3

Spoiler!

To get this to work you have to connect it as above with the PC .. connect the Wireless adapter and the USB adapter

together and connect to the PS3's USB port on the front of the console ... then turn the pad on... press the Sync button

to resync with the pad if you feel the need but it should just work fine ....

I tested with a couple of games and It works well the duo shock as mentioned above is not as powerful as the real Dual

Shock pads but at least with this pad you can Switch the rumble on and off by pressing the Select button and the R3

button and holding them down (the pad will rumble to let you know its activated or pressing the Select and the R3

button again will deactivate the rumble)

MY SCORES ON THE DOORS for the DRAGON PLUS Duo Shock3 PS2/PS3/PC Wireless controller is 7 out of 10

A couple of minor points let this pad down first one is it uses 2 x AAA batterys in the pad so you will need to keep a

stock of them or use rechargable batteries.

Second one is the Rumble its not as good as the real Dual Shock pads

My only other issue with this is its not SIXAXIS but only when its in use with PS3 which is not a real biggie but some

games on the PS3 just play better with or need the SIXAXIS functionality.

Over all its not a bad replacement budget wireless shock pad for PS2/PS3 and PC

prices .... around £17,06GBP ($24,16USD) (€18,95 EU)

(Works out just over half the price of a real wireless Dual shock controller for ps3)

Other places may vary in price.. But delivery may take longer!

Note these are MY VIEWS THOUGHTS and images etc yours may differ along with other reviewers!
