Ps3 controller for the PC

Supports Bluetooth, 360 Controller Emulation, straight-forward installation, motion controls, etc. It's what I use and it works perfectly.

I know, the guy's English is bad; his drivers are otherwise great.

Eh? It's easy, just follow these instructions. [http://www.davieslim.com/ps3/using-ps3-controller-in-windows/#index2] Method B works perfectly for me. Just be sure the program is open when you use the controller.

I like the idea but don't like having to use unsigned drivers - it's a pain in the ass that I know I won't be up for using every time. Oh well.

I'm using XP so I haven't had to deal with that; it DOES sound like a pain in the ass.

I already have a PS2-like controller for my PC. But, watch out for the D-pads. Mine is incredibly sensitive to diagonals, and that really sucks on alot of games. Check that the analogs are good quality too.

I use a logitech controller, and that works just fine for me.

I used a PS2 controller with a USB port, though it doesn't work properly with a few games (DMC3 I'm looking at you). Beyond that, I uderstand that getting the 360 controller to work on a PC is easy AND there is a wide selection of gamepads for the PC.

Seriously, it's not that hard...

Why not use a Logitech Dual Action? It's flawless and works with everything. PS2 games, PC games, everything.

I had a program for this back on my laptop which worked pretty well. I only got it to work once but that's cos I fucked up installing it or something but when I did use it, it was pretty good.

I'm not sure how if it would work with all PC games, but it worked on an Ocarine of Time emulatiuon for me.

I have a PS2 controller through a USB adapter, I have 360 controllers lying around but I despise them compared.

I've seen a PS3 controller working fine on a laptop, and the guy who had that wasn't particularly tech savvy so I can't see it being difficult to sort out.

you could also just pick up something like this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Saitek+Cyborg+-+RumblePad+-+Black/9347637.p?id=1218089197197&skuId=9347637 Not a prefect PS controler copy, but that was just a 10 second search. I seem to recall seeing several PS knock-off controlers for the PC around, and they are generally pretty cheap.

Why not use a 360 controller?

Funny enough I also prefer a PS3 controller over a 360, and it has to do with the analogue sticks. They just move a lot more smoother and don't feel as sluggish, for instance my aim is a greatly better playing Resistance or Killzone as it is to Halo or Gears.

Not trying to start any console wars but these are just my impression after some time playing with both controllers.
