That was kinda confusing.. :S

So There Are 2 Types?

Dual Shock 2 - Only has 6 Axis..

And

Dual Shock 3 - Both Rumble Motors And Six Axis

Any one know the voltages on both of these controllers, and are they the only 2 types?

Thankss :D

Wrong the dual shock 2 was only for the ps2 not ps3 although you can use it with an adapter.

What budgray19 is talking about is the sixaxis controller which doesn't have rumble.  The dual shock 3 has both sixaxis and rumble.

There's also a bunch of 3rd party usb brands, my favorite of which is dreamgear's shadow controller.

The Controller On The Left Is A Regular SIXAXIS
The Controller On The Right Is The DUALSHOCK 3 / SIXAXIS

The SIXAXIS says - DC 3.7V = 30mA
The DUALSHOCK 3 says - DC 3.7V = 300mA

This is the insides of the SIXAXIS


This is the insides of the DUALSHOCK 3





Hope that helps.
