Need Help with PS3 Controller on PC

[cardo69]

Hi all....

I need some help, if possible i would like to use a PS3 controller (Dreamgear: DreamGEARPS3 Shadow 6 Wireless Controller - Camo) on my PC, i have the USB cable that fits into this controller, but if i need to get the Bluetooth device i can, but i don't wanna get it before i know it will work for sure! I've tried a few things already, some application (cant think of the name it think it is DS3 or something).

I am running WIndows 7 Ultimate, 64Bit with latest updates to date.

This is my PC Specs:

• Intel Core i5-3470 (3.2GHz, 6M Cache, 4x Cores)
• OCZ Agility 4 64GB Internal Solid State Drive SSD
• MSI Z77A-G43 Z77 Chipset SATA3 6.0Gb/s USB 3.0 MB
• Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz High Performance RAM
• MSI GeForce GT 630 4GB 128-bit DDR3 Graphics Card

Would really appreciate your assistance with this....

PS. Glad to be back!!!

Apparently its possible to pair any PS3 controller like this:

- Open Sixaxis Pair Tool
- Connect new PS3 Controller
- Enter Bluetooth Adapter MAC address and click UPDATE
- Re-plugin PS3 Controller and start Motioninjoy and load driver (If Windows doesn't install driver automatically)
- Remove usb cable

Sixaxis Pair Too: Dancing Pixel Studios
Motioninjoy - http://www.xinputer.com/download/MotioninJoy_071001_signed.zip

I couldn't honestly tell you if it will work however, from what people say it appears to be possible and work best if you have a Bluetooth 2.0 dongle.
