Like the Sixaxis, it is a wireless controller with a mini-USB port on the rear that is used for charging, as well as playing while charging. The vibration function does not interfere with the motion sensing function, and both functions can be used at once.

Replacing the Sixaxis as the standard PlayStation 3 controller, the DualShock 3 (SCPH-98050/CECHZC2, trademarked "DUALSHOCK 3") features the same functions and design (including "Sixaxis" motion sensing), but with vibration feedback capability.Ĭosmetically, the DualShock 3 is nearly identical to the Sixaxis, with the only differences being that "DUALSHOCK 3" is printed on the top (with the original "SIXAXIS" label moved down) and that the body is made of opaque plastic rather than the slightly translucent plastic used on the Sixaxis. The Sixaxis is constructed of slightly translucent plastic, rather than the opaque plastic used on the DualShock 2 (and the later DualShock 3). The underside of the case is also slightly enlarged to accommodate the internal battery. In place of the "Analog" button is a button labeled with the PlayStation logo, which allows access to the system menu. The L2 and R2 buttons were replaced with analog triggers and the precision of the analog sticks was increased from 8-bit to 10-bit. It also does not feature vibration motors (these were re-added in the DualShock 3).

Unlike the DualShock 2, however, it is a Bluetooth wireless controller (it will also function as a wired controller via USB) and features motion sensing technology. Its design is an evolution of the DualShock 2 controller, retaining its pressure-sensitive buttons, layout and basic shape. "Sixaxis" also refers to the motion sensing technology used in both the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers. All Sixaxis controllers, with the exception of those bundled with a console were sold without a USB to USB mini cable. In Japan, individual Sixaxis controllers were available for purchase simultaneously with the console's launch. The Sixaxis Wireless Controller (SCPH-98040/CECHZC1) (trademarked "SIXAXIS") was the official wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 until it was succeeded by the DualShock 3. Finally, a composite video cable set, USB cable sets, and memory adaptors complete the accessories. Headsets (mostly used for communications, not game audio) are the major A/V devices, followed by cameras and other input devices. The controllers include the DualShock 3, a keypad that connects to the aforementioned controller, a controller similar to those for the Xbox Kinect that allows for motion controls, and miscellaneous others used for a specific use. These include controllers, audio and video input devices like microphones, video cameras, and cables for better sound and picture quality. Various accessories for the PlayStation 3 video game console have been produced by Sony and third-party companies.
