I believe Snakebyte was also the company that released the official FFXIV controller, however I don't know if it's quality is much better than the $10 PS3 model.
I have it. I got it because I found it for the same price as the regular one, so I figured why not. It's very well built, though I can't say if that means its better than the PS3 model. The only thing I don't like about it is that the buttons are labelled 1-14 (or however many there are) so when you are trying to reconfigure what each button does in some games its incredibly annoying. Assassin's Creed 3 comes to mind. It took me forever to configure it what a PS3 controller would normally be, which made stuff like fighting off wolves (where you have to press triangle when prompted on screen) impossible. Once I finally figured it out it was fine, but it can be a bit of a hassle.
Haha yeah, I read that after I posted my comment XD. I wanted one pretty bad when I first saw them. The reqular one isn't terrible, but you can feel the cheapness of the plastics and craftsmanship with wobbly shoulder buttons and somewhat loose joysticks.
Every gamepad I've used does the whole numbered buttons thing during setup, even an offical PS3 model. It's annoying when you first start to mess with it, but eventually you get used to it and what buttons are what numbers.
Edit: I looked at the pic of the FFXIV controller and noticed that the buttons were actually numbered on the controller as well lol. Yeah, that would take some getting used to. My Snakebyte was a PS3 model so they must have added the standard button symbols to it.
