description Sixaxis Controller - Black Overview

The Sixaxis Controller is the original wireless game controller supplied with early PlayStation 3 systems. It uses Bluetooth for wireless communication and includes motion sensors that detect changes in orientation and movement. Unlike the later DualShock 3, the Sixaxis does not provide vibration feedback. Its layout includes the PlayStation button, two analog sticks, a directional pad, four face buttons, shoulder buttons, and pressure-sensitive triggers for PlayStation 3 games.

help Sixaxis Controller - Black FAQ

What is the difference between a Sixaxis and a DualShock 3?

Both are wireless PlayStation 3 controllers with motion sensing, but the original Sixaxis omits the DualShock 3's rumble and vibration motors. If vibration feedback matters in games, the DualShock 3 is the relevant upgrade.

Does the black Sixaxis connect wirelessly to a PS3?

Yes. It communicates with the PlayStation 3 over Bluetooth, although initial pairing normally uses a USB connection; a cable may need to be supplied separately.

What motion controls does the Sixaxis have?

The Sixaxis detects changes in orientation and movement across six axes, which PS3 games can use for steering, aiming, or other gestures. It has motion sensing even though it lacks rumble.

Can I use a PS3 Sixaxis on PS4 or PC?

Official compatibility is with the PlayStation 3, not a guaranteed plug-and-play PS4 or PC connection. PC use may require a cable, driver, or adapter, and PS4 support depends on the game and adapter.
