What are you after?
What you will find
The DualShock 3 is the most requested item: after years of use batteries weaken and sticks wear, so replacement is common. It charges over a mini-USB cable, different from newer controllers.
You will also find HDMI and power cables — the parts most often lost on a console that has moved house — along with cases and maintenance parts.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the DualShock 3 fit every PS3 model?
- Yes, the original PS3, Slim and Super Slim all take the same controllers.
- What cable does it charge with?
- Mini-USB, which differs from the micro-USB of the DualShock 4 and the USB-C of newer pads. A spare is worth having.
- Does the DualShock 3 work on a PS4?
- No. It is not supported by the PS4 — you need a DualShock 4.
- Does it work on PC?
- With additional software yes, but it is not directly compatible like newer controllers. For PC there are simpler options.
- What video cable do I need?
- HDMI for a digital connection to a modern television. The console also supports older connection types.
- Can I collect my order from the shop?
- Yes, choose collection at checkout, with no shipping cost.
On consoles of this generation, the mini-USB charging cable and the HDMI are the first two to go missing. They cost very little and save you from a dead evening.
