Finally is the battery life. It requires a set of AAA batteries and is advertised as lasting around 10 hours, but after extensive testing it seems as if it can last for an even longer duration. Such is rare in wireless controllers these days that seem to just suck up energy.

The only downside is that the controller does not have rumble features, no six-axis capability on the Playstation 3 nor does it work with Playstation Classic or Playstation 2 games. You are limited to just the Playstation 3 titles that do not use the six-axis motion control. However, neither of these should prove to be that much of a problem for most players, especially if you are sticking to more recent racing games.

While the controller is useful for any sort of Playstation 3 game, the placement of two of the shoulder triggers leaves it limited mostly to racing games. Even so, it’s an excellent product for its intended audience. It may not be the same as a steering wheel, but it will serve you better if you want something just a bit better than the default controller in the Grand Prix. The thing only costs $50 USD as well, about the average price for a controller these days, despite being a limited edition officially Ferrari licensed controller. They could have easily have pushed the price up to $70 for a piece of trash, but instead you get top-notch quality.

If you are a frequent race car driver of the digital age, there is little reason for you not to get this game pad. I highly recommend it.
