PS3 Controller Doesn't Work?
I tried using my PS3 Controller but I plug evrything in, and my computer knows its there but when I try to use it or map it nothing happens, the light on the controller just flashes (this is for all my Games by the way)

Any help is greatly appreciated ^-^

Extreme necro but I just ended up getting a ps4 controller from a friend, ask if they have any spares you can have. Then download ds4windows. It will save you a lot of time. They're also like $20 on ebay.

A little Googling tells you can set up dualshock 3 controllers through steam big picture mode in controller settings? This doesnt support the analog face buttons apparently, so you can do better with DsHidMini if thats something that you care about, but that appears to be quite a bit more technical.

Big Picture Mode is probably your best bet.

NOTE: for Big Picture mode you *may* need an old install of PSNow as dualshock 3 support was removed in later versions, BUT if you use the old version it should just work. The old version of PSNow can be found here:

for anyone still using a PS3 controller for ANYTHING here is the new version of this. believe it's the same person who worked on the ScpToolkit mentioned above(Scp no longer being worked on for a long time), (THANK YOU nefarius) the controller does natively install on win10, but it's readings don't work at all for some reason. this is about the best software out there for the PS3 controller's, even perfect for... an emulation of a console of the same gen...
this software is still being worked on as of writing this.

https://github.com/ViGEm/DsHidMini/releases/tag/v2.2.282.0

Very easy to install, just follow the link after downloading the "dshidmini_v2.2.282.0.zip" file at the bottom of the page, then go back up and click on the link named "Follow this comprehensive guide." then do as it says and your off to kick some A$$ on a controller.

keep in mind, generic controllers are hit and miss on many of these things. they do try to add them.

I second this it f*cking works rofl, thanks
