Nyko Zero PS3 Controller Review
PS3's first rumble controller sets the bar high.
February 14, 2008 - If you're a PS3 owner looking to make use of the newly implemented rumble technology on your system, options thus far are pretty slim. You can import the new Dual Shock 3 controller from Japan for $60, you can hold off and stick with your current six-axis controller until the US release, or you can go third party. And when it comes to premium PlayStation controllers, we've taken a liking to Nyko's Zero series, with a very positive 8.9 review of the PS2 controller a year or so back. The PS3 is now in full swing, and with it comes another Nyko Zero alternative to the official Sony pads.
Despite the hundreds upon hundreds of third party controllers out there, we've never found one we'd actually rank above its console inspiration. There's an extreme level of care, testing, patents, and money thrown into official console controllers, and as such third party manufacturers have their work cut out for them to say the least. As far as PlayStation is concerned, the bar is extremely high, as the Dual Shock series is widely considered to be the most comfortable and dependable controller out there. That being said, gamers looking for tilt and rumble on PS3 have a chance to pick up a pretty solid piece of hardware in Nyko's product, and you won't have to deal with the hassle of importing along the way.
So what comes packed with the Nyko Zero PS3 controller? Pretty much everything you'll need. The controller's design has remained relatively unchanged from its PS2 inspiration, but the box has far more tech in it than most people would expect. For starters, you've go the wireless receiver. It's smaller than the previous Zero design, houses a small sync button, and a large red LED at the end of the dongle. Its flat design has been swapped out for a more classic USB dongle look as well, resembling a small jump drive. As for the rest of the gear, you'll get a red and black PS3 charge cable for your controller, a NiMH battery back with 25 hour play life, and a AA battery back adapter if you want to bypass the charging altogether.
As for the controller itself, Nyco has gone with an extremely unique design, and it's pretty solid overall despite a few personal changes we'd like to see. To kick things off, Zero has longer hand grips, similar to a thinner rendition of the classic Dreamcast design. The handles start flush with the buttons and D-pad, but actually curve back the farther down they go, which actually makes for a nice thumb rest. The entire face of the controller is covered with a metal plate screwed directly into the polymer, which is cool to the touch and designed to say that way during play. On the back you've got a battery clip nearly identical to the 360 controller design,
As for the buttons and sticks, Zero is pretty solid once again. The two analog sticks are coated with rubber tops, using a concave design instead of the curved convex feel of the regular PS3 controllers. It's more 360-inspired in design, and they feel great. The d-pad is a single-piece plastic design that actually sits higher up on the controller, rather than resting flush with the controller's face. It's still got a bit of a funky feel, as you won't get the same result with a third party d-pad as you do with Sony or Nintendo products (Microsoft pads have always suffered as well), but it worked functionally just fine. We wouldn't defend our honor on the Street Fighter battlefield, as throwing fireballs or rolling the pad with precision isn't the best feeling in the world, but it worked just fine for using items in Ninja Gaiden or navigating the PS3 menus.
The four face buttons are both raised and backlit with red LEDs, and actually the best feeling part of the controller. We've had no problems with stick or lose buttons, and they sit high on the unit, far enough away from the right analog stick or rubber start/select buttons. As for the triggers, the left and right pedals are sharper (like a trigger) and a bit shallow when compared to the PS3 pedals, but they work great. The two shoulder buttons (R1 and R2) actually sit higher on the controller – almost like a Super NES shoulder setup – and feel a bit cheaper and soft overall. They still worked fine, but they don't have the same high-quality feel as the rest of the controller. As a side note, the ergonomic feel of the controller lends itself better to using just pointer fingers for the R1/2 and L1/2, so people looking to use pointer and middle fingers in tandem may feel a bit cramped. Also, the battery back on the back rests pretty close the R2 and L2 triggers, so you'll need to use your fingertips rather than resting your whole hand across the back of the controller. After a few seconds with the unit in hand though, you'll find your comfortable position easily.
Where Zero really makes a case for dropping $60 though, is in its rumble, six-axis, and home button options. The rumble pack is housed in the main section of the controller, and is ready to go out of the box. As long as you're playing something like Ratchet and Clank that's already rumble-ready, it'll start kicking the moment you fire. It's a bit less of a shake than 360's pack, but it still feels nice to have that tactile feel back again. As for the six-axis technology, Zero does a fine job, and it feels identical to the current PS3 standard. The sync button for the controller also doubles as the PS3 home button as well, so while it displays a multi-color strobe when syncing with its dongle, it'll turn red and act as a fully-functional home key once connected; also working perfectly. As a final addition, a small charge indicator is located between the two analog sticks. If the LED is glowing, it's charging. Once it starts to blink, it's fully charged, and ready to be unplugged.
So given PS3's current circumstances, how is Nyko's rumble option? All in all, it's a pretty solid direction to go, as long as you don't mind forking down serious cash for a third party controller. On a personal note, I'm usually a first party controller or nothing gamer (just a personal preference), but even still Zero has won me over in a pretty big way. It still has its issues, as the d-pad isn't perfect, and the R1 and L1 buttons are a bit soft for my liking, but the fact that you've got a backlit controller, rechargeable battery pack and AA alternative option, charge cable, rumble and six-axis support, and a sturdy, comfortable design makes this one a great alternative to importing a Japanese Dual Shock 3 for $60 plus shipping. The sticks are comfortable, the controller is sturdy, and it's hands-down one of the best third party controllers we've used.
