Talk:Sixaxis

No technological explanation of sixaxis motion sensing technology?
I would like to know the technology behind the sixaxis motion sensing technology, and it seems that this articles has none. 85.206.16.238 (talk) 08:01, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure it's a misnomer
Sure, mathematically it could be, but in an "engineering" standpoint, a motion controller that offers 3 axes of accelerometer and 3 of gyroscope might be loosely called "using 6 axes" (sure this particular controller might not be strictly with 3 gyroscope axes but still). -- f s  09:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, same thing here; I added a tag, because the claim that the controller name stems from the "six degrees of freedom" seems rather arbitrary. The six axis present in the sensors inside the controller seem a lot more logical, as fs aptly said. So to resolve this situation, an actual citation from Sony or a person with insider knowledge would be preferable.

Should Sixaxis and Dualshock 3 be merged?
I have a PS3, and I have one Dualshock and one Sixaxis. They are so similar that until today I thought they were the same controller. In fact, I think they should be one article. What do you think? MarioFyreFlower (talk) 12:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
