A while ago I asked this question here on XDA regarding the GCM10 Game Control Mount and its compatibility with a PS3 controller. I didn't get that many detailed answers and I figured more people would be interested to know whether the GCM10 works with the PS3 controller. I used my Xperia Z1 instead of a Z3 as advertised but this obviously shouldn't make a difference. Since I won this from the Xperiablog community, I figured I should do the community a favour in return by doing this.


As you can see here, the GCM10 doesn't quite fit the PS3 controller - it almost closes, but you'll have to use a rubber band or come up with another creative idea to close it properly. Before I received this, I used to hold the Xperia phone and controller in place with only one bent wire which was very fragile. I used it in the bus once or twice, but really wouldn't have recommended this. Now this GCM10 already seems much better since it steadily holds the phone in place with the suction cup, which was the main issue with my previous wire solution.
The downside is that the GCM10's metal wire in the middle (which is actually covered in rubber - a very nice detail indeed) is slightly in the way of the square button, and you cannot completely rotate the analog sticks to the sides where the wires are. I'll have to do some more testing but as it seems now, although it does look quite nice in pictures I do not recommend the GCM10 if you only have a PS3 controller in conclusion. I could consider upgrading to a PS4 controller but this is kind of a waste of money as I don't actually own a PlayStation. But if you do, then this GCM10 really is a nice addition if you like to play mobile games. Especially for emulating games it would be amazing!
