Not exactly video games, but I'm looking to pick up a pair of original Playstation 3 controllers. Does anyone have any leads to where I can find them? (Online or local is fine.)

I tried Amazon, but quantities are extremely limited. Thanks in advance!

New Egg have some from a 3 party seller.

Playstation 3 Accessories, PS3 Controller, PS3 Wireless Adapter, PS3 Wireless Controller - Newegg.ca

Just curious, why PS3 controllers?

the reviews say they're not ps3 controllers, i've found most knock off controllers to feel mushy on the buttons.

b&h photo is apparently an authorized dealer.

I built a Raspberry Pi 3 and configured "RetroPi" which is an emulator for old/classic games.

A few colleagues and many online reports say that the PS3 controllers are Bluetooth based, but also have the longest battery life in comparison to the PS4. For the sake of convenience, I'd like to get the PS3 controllers.

I am in the process of building one myself. I am having problems getting 2 X PS3 controllers connect at the same time. I bought a separate bluetooth usb adapter that apparently should help with the problem. Let me know how your built goes.

The latest Humble Bundle is fantastic. Your donation of $30+ can be used to help the ACLU, International Rescue, and Doctors Without Borders. Humble Bundle was matching donations up to $300,000, but all of that was claimed within 90 minutes! It's a big list of decent games, including Stardew Valley, and the Witness.

Dirt Rally+ Inside + mystery bundle for $12 USD (16ish CAD) this month.

Pretty fun racing game. Other game is just bonus imo.
Just remember to cancel the subscription after purchase. You'll still get the whole bundle at the end of the month.

Inside is a pretty good puzzle platformer. It's got a really interesting story that unfolds as you progress through it's dystopic world. Full price is a hard-sell since it's only 5 hours long, but it's a great deal in this bundle.
