Traingle change view

Now keep in mind that the front bottom triggers are their own buttons.
the r2 and l2 are on the bottom of the controller where your middle finger sits when holding the controller,so there are actually more buttons on this controller then on a standard ps3 controller.

When I first heard that the L2 and R2 where on the bottom, it threw me off, but you can move them to the triigers in a second. This enables you to have 2 free buttons on the bottom of the controller for say gear up and down or what ever you wish to put there. You also have the zoom dial which is 2 more buttons (up and down). The preset button which switches to your custom layout can also be used so that you can switch on the fly between the default game layout and your custom layout at the touch of a button.

The only downsides are the sticks are very sensitive and if you have huge hands this controller may not be for you. The vibration feature doesn't work with the ps3. I really miss that some.

For me this is the best option I can find for BOP on the ps3. The free look is too important and it has to be just right. Plus I need my right hand to control my pitch and roll. The controller has 15 buttons not counting the d-pad, that is nice too, because I can really move things around if I want.

The programing is really easy to do, you just hit your custom preset button and then tap the map button. The preset will flash. Then you just push the button you want to move and then the button your changing that to.
Thats it.

I hope this helps, Desode
