I would post more youtube videos, but the last time I did that I was accused of youtube spam. Everybody's saying "input lag" regardless of controller or platform.
" I'd rather spend the money and use a 360 controller. It's a better controller all around, and has native drivers so all I really have to do is plug it in.

The PS3 controller triggers are better for racing games. Also, the d-pad is better on the PS3 controller. Racing games and old school games are the main reasons I'd use a gamepad on a PC. I have a wheel but I'm sometimes too lazy to attach it to the desk. "
What? No, the triggers are way too shallow, and the sticks too loose. You need more finesse with a racing game. I'd much rather have a better range of throttle and brake control and a tighter stick for racing games. @528seven said:
PS3 controller "triggers" are shaped more like pedals. Xbox triggers are shaped like gun triggers. It takes far less motion to completely depress an Xbox trigger, unless your finger is on the bottom edge. It's the PS3 controller that give you more *precision* with a racing game. Do you even own a PS3 controller? o_O EDIT: ...or rather, do you play racing games (hydro thunder hurricane doesn't count)? I'm thinking of Codemasters racers, GT or sim-like games where you have to be precise with acceleration and breaking.
