Gioteck’s Real Triggers are quite simply button extensions for the PS3 controller.
This is their official comment on their creation.

Em, okay? In honestly, I’ve never really noticed having problems with the trigger buttons until I found these and was then like, “Oh yeah…” One of the main reasons I decided to buy these was their price tag.
5 quid? Yes please – I’m a sucker for little accessories and gadgets that I don’t need. I can quite truly say the cheap price of these pieces of plastic is more than half the reason I bought them. So, how do they fair? Well, let’s take a look at the package.
Done
Let’s get those pieces of plastic out.
Man, that was easy. The packaging is all very simple, nothing to worry about.
Now let’s slap em’ on. The box comes with a little diagram to tell you how to put it on but it’s really quite simple. I got it in 10 seconds. (hurray)

They’re supposed to stop you from slipping your finger like this,
Yeah…
So I pressed down on them and they felt pretty alright. More comfy but nothing too drastic. Time to test a game. Off to MGO (Metal Gear Online).
Only after half loading the game I realised MGO is a bad game to test it on. The only time you use the R2 & L2 buttons is when you need to cycle weapons/items – Then I thought maybe that’s no so bad of an example.
Right off, I found the bad aspect of the Real Triggers. MGO instant-switches through weapons by quickly tapping the R2 & L2 buttons, not pressing them. The new curve in the button made it a little hard to tap it and release as fast as I usually could. This didn’t stop my progress though and certainly didn’t get me killed in gameplay or anything. I adjusted to the change in about 5 minutes. (hurray again)
So I though I’d play a game that uses the R2 & L2 buttons for a bit more of a main purpose.
Before I continue, I’d like to point out that in any game that uses R1 as the main trigger for a gun (or such) is fucking STUPID. Fall of Man did it and so did Fallout 3. I fixed it for Fallout 3 though as it has a completely customisable controller layout in the options menu. So bare in mind, I’m using R2 as the trigger button, not R1.
So right off I took out my baseball bat and started to whack the piss out of everything in sight. Quite satisfying to begin with but the big perk of the Real Triggers came into play. In F3, I now remember my finger slipping so many times as I bashed the bolts out of robots with a blunt weapon which did actually annoy me a little now that I think about it. Real Triggers stopped that and I could swing away till dawn.
It only got better – I picked up an energy pistol; These things can fire 30 rounds a mag but are kinda off rhythm. You need to time your pulls on the trigger to get rapid fire. With Real Triggers I pulled half a mag of beams before I fucked up. Amazing! The protectron I was shooting at didn’t have a chance.
Bitches don’t know ’bout mah Real Triggers.
After that I got bored and didn’t bother testing other games. I suppose driving games would be a real good example of seeing if they’re better… but I don’t like driving games so meh, do it yourself.
Then later in the day, it hit. Or should I say, my controller hit.
The floor that is.
Yeah, yeah, we all drop controllers but with Real Triggers attached… uh oh. They broke off and flung right under my bed. Now, my bed doesn’t have an UNDER, but yet it does. Just enough space for dust to gather yet not enough to sore anything under. It’s also prime for losing small objects and one of my Real Triggers went flying under it.
So there I had to pull up my big heavy bed with my weak arms and get it. I think I ripped some of the underside of the bed or something. Meh.
So that was kind of annoying. I can’t drop my controller without these little fuckers flying off everywhere. Not so bad to me since I only occasionally drop my controllers but for the clumsy people or ANGRY GAMERS who trash their controllers… prepare for it to get even more annoying. I know a guy who actually ripped his PS3 controller in half because he was being beaten on an online game O.O
If you’re not a head-case you’re fine, though.
Real Triggers? Worth the buy if you see em lying around in some game store. I got mine in GAME but you can also get them online. Shouldn’t cost more than 6 quid. If they do, I wouldn’t get them.
And now…Some more spoilers to add,
“So here, enjoy…”
Fallout 3 is based in the year 2277 while MGS4 is based in 2014 (I think). Both are about the world in chaos because of technology and corruption. Each cover has an awesome picture of a stylised face of a figure with a cool eye.
…
That’s all I’ve got.
