ORB 3M Controller Charger Cable (PS3)

I ordered this product on a whim when I ordered two DualShock 3 Controllers for my PS3 since the actual controllers don't come with charger cables. However, I really wish I had read the reviews beforehand. Once I got this item, I opened it and plugged it in, ready to multiplay on my PS3 for the first time. However, not only did this waste of space not charge the controller it was plugged into but it kept losing signal every 30 seconds or so, forcing us to resync and then rejoin play. This is by far the worst product I have ever had the misfortune to waste time and money on. If it doesn't do what is advertised, DON'T SELL IT!Seriously, save your money and buy a better, brand named product that actually does what it's supposed to because this piece of crap definitely doesn't. AVOID!

Despite the mixed reviews, at this price I decided to take a chance. Well I'm happy to report mine worked perfectly straight out of the box. Charges, plays and generally functions exactly like the cable that came with my PS3, it's just longer.The only thing I can suggest for those that it doesn't work for. Try re setting your controller with this attached. If it still doesn't work return it as you obviously have a faulty one. But I stress mine worked straight away, and I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

I've bought two of these now and they are excellent. My PS3 is just under my TV and my sofa isn't too far away, but you don't want to be sitting on top of it. So I decided to get the 3 metre cable, and think it is brilliant. I can even lie down on the sofa while playing games. They easily fit in the controller and come in an easy to open box.

Apart from the product arriving 10 days later than it's due date, the cable does not charge the controller, it just barely makes it work when connected to the ps3. What's more, when connected, the message ''please reconnect controller'' comes up every 3 seconds, and we all know that's no way to play a game. Don't buy.

This cable does not charge the pad.If plugged into the PS3, it appears to be connected however it does not charge and the PS3 complains the pad has been disconnected after a few button presses. If I just connect it without using the pad, then it doesn't charge.Tried the PS3, PCs and the USB port on my TV which is fine with the shorter, standard cable that comes with the PS3.In the process of returning via Amazon.

Just used it now & I've had more ''please reconnect controller'' messages in the last hour than all year with the original.Not a happy bunny.UPDATE - I'm glad to say that I was too hasty in my 1 star review. Controller has now settled down & is working well. No idea why but it would be unfair to slam a product for first night nerves.

The product promises a 3 meter charger cable and it delivers exactly what it promises. The cable is well built and feels like a quality product that won't break easily and the price isn't bad at all.A must buy product if you're tired of the short cable supplied with the PS3, it works just like the original cable that comes with the PS3 expect that it's way longer and so you can play from your couch while charging etc. You can also use it for connecting your PS3 controller to PC while playing the PC conneted to the TV screen.Simply said; excellent product and this is exactly the cable lenght that should come with the PS3 by default.

the battery in my controller was not holding a charge for longand was getting annoying when your half way through a film and you have to get up to plug it in quick before it shuts downwith this I just leave it plugged ita cheap cable that works a treat
