Hot on the heels of their miniaturized Wii controllers, Power A has announced some high end PS3 pads as well. The Pro Elite Wireless and Pro Ex controllers feature all the functionality of standard PS3 pads but offer improved ergonomics, glowing buttons and reverse analog sticks. Those grips do look quite comfortable, and I'm really liking the stick placement.
I've always found the stick location on Playstation controllers to be awkward, probably because they were tossed in as an upgrade on the original PS1 and the layout hasn't changed since. In my opinion the Xbox stick placement works much better for shooters, so I might just have to check out Power A's offerings this September. The wireless pad will be priced competitively at $50, while the wired one will be $20.
