L3 button on PS3 joystick
Experienced gamers with their eyes closed can safely play on the wireless joysticks of PlayStation game consoles. But if you just purchased or rented this game console, then some difficulties may arise with the controls. And, if everything is intuitive with most buttons on the PS3, then the inscription on the screen “Press L3” quite often confuses novice players. And, if there are no instructions for the console or another experienced player at hand, then sooner or later the player turns to the help of the Internet.

Where is the l3 button on the PS3 joystick?
The Left Stick (or simply L3) and the Right Stick (R3) are the two largest buttons on the PS3. Avid PlaeStation players refer to them as mushrooms or nipples due to their large size relative to other buttons.
Many people, especially novice gamers, are unaware that they can be pressed. Since their main trajectory of movement is rotation. If the letters L or R are simply displayed in the game menu, then this means that the fungi are twisting around their axis. And L3 and R3 stand for pressing the corresponding buttons - vertical pressure without moving to the sides.
What is l3 for on a PS3 joystick?
L3 is the left analog stick or, in simple terms, a mushroom. It is widely used in conjunction with the adjacent R3 button to perform important functions on the screen. Namely:
- change review item;
- camera rotation;
- control of the character's movement trajectory (running, walking, jumping, riding);
- managing the selection window in the menu;
- scrolling through characters;
- often pressing the left and right stick buttons confirms the choice in the menu;
- Rarely do they unlock a hidden move or bonus level.
Often during action or adventure tutorials, the console may ask you to press the appropriate L3 and R3 control keys. This is how the system makes sure that you are familiar with the location and functions of the basic buttons on the wireless process control panel.
