Long story short, I cut off two fingers about a month ago and I can't really grip my PS3 controller well anymore. I have a 360 as well and while the grip isn't great, it is better.

I was looking around and found this controller made by Power A. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them or knew of a better one made in that style.

I have it...it's ok. There's no bluetooth, though. So i lose "sight" of the console more than i like...sucks when your player doesn't swing! I think the 6 foot cable may eliminate that problem if you don't care about wireless. I sit too far away to use it...bought a 10 foot cable for charging but it still needs to "see" the console.

Also heard about the deadzone but haven't noticed it. I mostly play The Show RTTS on ps3. Sometimes my fielder doesn't make the throw quickly...not sure if that's the deadzone, the game or just me. In the end I decided on NCAA football for the 360 because of that...better safe than sorry!

Overall it works fine and feels like it should. A little lighter than the real 360 controllers. I don't think the deadzone is a huge issue. But know that something small (like your knee) can and will block the signal, especiaally if you're in a recliner and laid back.
