Step Three: Start MotionJoy (Again it is labeled DS3 Tool) (It will install as DS3 and the icon will look like a Gamepad) Step Zero: Make sure the PS3 Controller is not plugged in. (I will be expanding this guide and attempting to add pictures later) My own preference is for MotionJoy so for now I will focus on how I set up my own Ps3 controller through that program. There are two main options that I know of for this. Those run about 15-30 dollars.ī) A third party "driver" program. There is a second option and that is if you wish you can purchase a blue tooth dongle and sync the controller up wireless. Luckily that is not just a trickle charge and a full data transfer so it works. If you own the darn controller you know how to charge it.

PS3 Dual Analog - The PS3 controller also has two requirements.Ī) The USB charging cable USB Mini 2.0 to USB I believe. (Note XBCD drivers ONLY work on Windows XP and previous versions. However you CAN just use the 360 drivers if you feel uncomfortable with that option. I don't think I can link it but, you can Google XBCD Xbox 360 controller drivers and it should show up right off the bat. You are much better off installing third party drivers that some clever people have written that makes a driver that I feel works better. (Weee MS) However this is not entirely a bad thing because the default drivers are actually kind of not very good. Which brings me to B.ī) As of windows 7 last I was aware of you have to install the drivers as the plug and play on them either was very poor or didn't work at all. A wired one however will just plug right in. However once you buy that you can sync up the controller. It requires a dongle which last I checked runs about twenty dollars. HOW DO I GET THEM TO WORK IN THE FIRST PLACEģ60 Controller Requirements.- There are a few things to know about the 360 controller.Ī) A wireless controller plugged in with a charger will NOT work it is a trickle charger system only and no data. (Cause I hate my free time) So here goes. Currently all the information about using a game pad are a bit scattered so I thought I would attempt to write one exhaustive guide. Ok so I decided to write a little guide here and hopefully help a few people out.
