How to Use a Mad Catz Black Ops Controller for the PS3

The Mad Catz Black Ops PlayStation 3 controller, released alongside the "Call of Duty: Black Ops" game, helps gamers improve their shooting accuracy with a special PrecisionAIM mode. The Black Ops controller also features a Combat button that gamers can map to perform one of several functions such as swapping a weapon or reloading. Besides these two functions, the Mad Catz Black Ops controller works much like an official Sony PlayStation 3 controller.
