The Bottom Line The Logitech ChillStream's cooling fan may not be very useful, but the controller is still superbly designed and will grow more useful as more Games for Windows titles are released in 2007 and beyond. The Nyko Zero Wireless controller makes for a decent secondary or back-up controller, but doesn't fully match the comfort and performance of the DualShock 3. While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning.
