It's all about the triggers!

Nobody buys this for the armor. Its the same triggers that were offered up free in that PS3 mag. Wish I would have got a magazine over the metal.

A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!

The trigger add-ons are wonderful. I can't tell you enough about how much of a difference they made for me. The PS3 controller's L2 and R2 buttons were probably the worst button designs ever. I disliked them more then the stupid gamecube's controller buttons. When I attached the trigger add-ons it made the controller feel like it should of been made. The armor is ok but I think the controller looks better without it. These are a must have if you like shooter games because it just feels so weird shooting with the L1 and R1 buttons. Also, I have seen in other reviews that some people are having problems with their triggers popping off. I have not had this problem. I play A LOT of Call of Duty 4 and they haven't popped off. Maybe it's just a faulty batch that the company made and unfortunately some people bought them. I would contact the company and see if they would send replacements.

Great Trigger Grips

I bought this item only for the trigger grips. They are much more comfortable then the regular triggers. I always found the triggers on the sixaxis/dualshock3 controller to be too small and uncomfortable. Especially for racing games which require more accuracy while pushing down for braking and accelerating. With these on, it's like a whole new controller. The "armor" that comes with the grips is pretty useless. The only service i think it provides is that while you have the armor on, you won't accidently push the start/select/PS button.

Must buy for PS3 owners

The armor is completely worthless, it doesn't even fit right (it falls off if you hold the controller upside down), and is a lame excuse for charging $10 for two little pieces of plastic. Besides, what kind of armor covers 20% of what it's supposed to be protecting? The triggers however, are absolutely essential for the DualShock controller. I could never go back to not using them. They add length to the controller so it no longer feels like it was built for a 10 year old's hands (still not as comfortable as the 360 controller but vastly improved). They are snug and don't fall off during intense gaming. Most importantly of course, they keep your fingers from slipping off the bottom. Couple these with a rubber skin you can find on Amazon or at Gamestop, and the DualShock 3 is significantly more comfortable. I will buy them for all of my controllers going forward or until Sony figures out how bad their "trigger" design is.

Great

Really not much to say. The triggers are the best accessory for your ps3 controller. The control and grip are perfect for all types of games...especially FPS (first person shooters) and racing games.

Controller Buttons

Buttons work great on controller for triggers. I didn't need the silver center plate. I am not really sure why the set comes with that.

A+!

I purchased because i was having problems keeping grip on the L2 and R2 buttons due to my large hands.

This is how the controller should have come! It is 10x easier to use.

I would definitely recommend this product to ANYONE who has a ps3 controller, regardless of hand size. It just makes it so much more comfortable to use!

Nice little accessory

I would've paid $10 for the triggers alone! The armor is an extra bonus for me and makes this purchase a no-brainer. If you're into racing games and your fingers continually slip off the L2 R2 triggers, then get these.
I also purchased the 4 pack skins from Eforcity and the armor fits great on top of that. Worth every penny!

Great add-on

The triggers fit nicely on a DS3 or Sixaxis and are very wide and fit my fingers well. They are easy to click on to install and won't fall off. The number 2 is on them just like the original triggers. I tried them on my white Japanese DS3 and stock black Sixaxis.

The material looks exactly like the controller's plastic. It's too bad the backs of them are bare, but you won't be pressing those parts anyway.

They work great on Warhawk where you use L2/R2 a lot for the vehicles. They would probably be excellent on FPSs and third person shooters too.

The silver armor looks cool, but is pointless. It doesn't fit right and makes the Start, Select and PS buttons hard to press. You'd have to peel off the cushioning underneath, but then it might scratch your expensive controller. Odd thing is the manual shows the armor fitting perfectly. There is also armor for the whole PS3, but I wouldn't touch it considering how the controller armor fits!

Worth it if you really dislike the stock DS3 triggers and your fingers slide off of them all the time. I would have preferred getting the triggers alone for like $3 or less.

Grips are amazing... "armor", not so much.

Don't be fooled, the "armor" that comes with the grips are just a side piece, the real product here are the trigger grips. If you've ever had your trigger slip off the Dualshock 3's crappy R2/L2 buttons or wanted a better feel in FPS games, this product is a MUST! It could be cheaper.. but the crappy armor they bundle with this product probably jacks up the price slightly. I'd highly recommend it for people who dislike the Dualshock's current trigger setup.

It would get a 5 but the "armor" that comes with it is just useless and flimsy. It doesn't even fit the controller right. Throw it away immediately.
