Skyrim with PS3 Controller?

Hi friendo's! I play Skyrim for a long time now, and i was asking myself, is it possible to play Skyrim with a PS3 / Dualshock Controller? I've already got the drivers and stuff but there's a program called motion joy which doesn't work for me :( I've tested the controller on 2 different games. Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Shift 2 Unleashed. Works fine on both games :) But i would really like to use this thing to play Skyrim with. Thanks! [Sorry for bad English, i'm from Holland]

XBOX 360 Controller for Windows works pretty well too.

For people that still looking for a good alternative.
GInput (from Silent).
I installed that one for playing the GTA trilogy and yesterday i powered up Skyrim and i could play it with PS3 controller. I didn't even had to place .dll or .ini files into my Skyrim folder.
I noticed this though: Sprinting is one of the back pads instead of L3. I think all the other controls are the same ("i think" because it's been too long since i played it on PS3).
It's weird because i can't find anything about Silent's GInput with Skyrim O_O
