help Retro Fighters Defender Wireless Controller for PS3 FAQ

Does the Retro Fighters Defender work with PS2 games played on a backward-compatible PS3?

Compatibility depends on which Defender version you buy. The original 2.4 GHz model supports PS1, PS2 and PS3 hardware through its receivers, while the PS3-focused Bluetooth Edition may not behave like a genuine DualShock 3 when a backward-compatible PS3 switches into PS2 mode.

Can the Defender turn on a PS3 with its Home button?

The Defender Bluetooth Edition can pair directly with a PS3 and supports the console's Home-button functions. That makes it more convenient than using a DualShock 4 or DualSense on PS3, where the PlayStation button has limited or no system-control support.

Does the Defender support Sixaxis motion and pressure-sensitive buttons?

The PS3 Bluetooth Edition includes Sixaxis motion, vibration and turbo functionality, but it does not reproduce every pressure-sensitive input of an original DualShock 3. That distinction matters in games such as Metal Gear Solid 3, which use different pressure levels for certain actions.

What is the difference between the Defender and Defender Bluetooth Edition?

The original Defender uses a 2.4 GHz receiver and supports systems including PS1, PS2, PS3, PlayStation Classic, Switch and PC. The Bluetooth Edition connects directly to PS3, PS4 and PC and adds PS3-oriented features such as Sixaxis support.
