Just plugged my PS3 Controller Into My Computer

[5Toes]

And with the help of some programs... IT WORKS. I cant use it as a mouse, yet... but I can now play dirt kind of competitively. Before I had to use the keyboard.

That is all, thought Id share this breakthrough

You can buy this adapter for the PC that allows you to use an Xbox 360 controller so you can play Halo and GTA4 and such.

I did it all in a few minutes and a restart... and it took longer cause Im running 64 bit

Yeah, I also have used CL-Eye Device to use the PS3 Eye as a webcam/mic with excellent resolution, and a w/t manual adjustment. IIRC, you can use the DS3 keyboard via USB as well on a PC.

The coolest thing is, some guys are working on software to use the Move controllers via Bluetooth on a PC. That I'm waiting for.

Can you just plug it into the USB and charge it?

Download Motionjoy. Using anything else to use your DS3 on your pc is just plain stupid.

It will allow you to use it as a 360 controller (works for pretty much EVERY game, all games support the 360 controller) It allows you to have custom configs, and installing the software is cake.

Please whatever you used to install it, delete it, and use motionjoy.

clickly clicky!!

Oh and it also supports the rumble feature, quite a nice touch.

Yup Motion Joy!

And yes any usb port will charge it..

Motionjoys a dream now, about 1.5 years ago it was a real PITA to use, installing it and getting it to work properly took hours, now it takes a mere 5 minutes. Gotta love updated software. The 360 controller is MUCH better however for racing games, the DS3 has such shitty triggers.

Yeah, I have a 360 controller and the little wireless adapter thingy. Works wonders, and about as easy as it gets to install.

Thanks for posting. I´ve been looking for a good pc controller for a while, mostly for emulators. Now I don´t have to.

Yea motion joy is great. I wired a cheap ps3 controller into my arcade stick so I can use it with my ps3 AND mame on the pc. Its pretty much awesome. Very easy to use motion joy.

I was doing this a long time ago to play emulators and such on my PC. I used XBCD as the driver. Worked well.
