Steam doesn´t find PS3 controller anymore

[High Peet 420]

I tried to connect my ps3 controller yesterday and steam recognized it, but the right stick wasn´t functioning properly so I searched the internet and someone advised installing SCPtoolkit and now steam won´t recognize the controller anymore. I already uninstalled everything SCPtoolkit related but steam still won´t recognize the controller anymore. What can I do to fix it? I actually found a solution to the right stick problem, if only I could make the controller recognizable again. It's an original DS3 connected through cable.

Open your device manager & uninstall the driver (which is still the SCP driver, I suppose). Remember to tick that "Yup, actually uninstall the driver" check box. Then replug the gamepad. That should help.

I wonder where you got the previous driver from, the one which worked before you installed the SCP driver over it. Last time I checked, the only way to get PS gamepad drivers was PSNow. Who knows, maybe Sony finally came to senses.

I already uninstalled the driver. didn't help.

Ok. So after you've uninistalled the driver (whilst checking that "remove it for good" check box), unplugging & replugging the gamepad, what exactly does it appear as afterwards?

Also, see if installing PSNow helps (with your gamepad unplugged, plug it in afterwards). Last time I checked, PSNow is the only way to get Sony's driver.
