[PC] Asus USB BT400 Bluetooth dongle. + Sony Dualshock3

[VisMortis]

Hello folks

I just bought a bt dongle to get rid of my wire for my Sony PS3 controller.

Asus USB BT400
http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBBT400/
Its supporting Bluetooth 4.0 downwards to 2.0 (+controllers)
My OS is Win7 64b

It seems like this dongle is not detecting the PS3 controller with any driver.
And the Pairing tool is not detecting the dongle.
(My PS3 still does, so the controller is not broken)

Googled now like 6 hours for solutions.
The most hopeful advice I could get was this Guide:

I also tried:
The delivered Asus BT400 driver
The delivered Asus BT400 driver + zadic override
The normal Windows Update driver
The normal Windows Update driver + zadic override
The motionjoy drivers
The motionjoy drivers Updated with my dongle Hardware id
(%MIJ.DeviceName%=CC_Install, USB\VID_8086&PID_0189) + Install
The Better Ds3 tool drivers with Sixxaxis Pairing tool divice drivers

For sure I was deinstalling those drivers each new step and rebooting PC.


Does anyone else use this BT Dongle and have the same problem?

Have you configured it for dual mode?

[VisMortis]

do you mean with dual mode:
wired and bluetooth?

[VisMortis]

Just Called their technical hotline for more information.
It seems like this dongle does not support in any way bluetooth connection to gameplay controllers.
So "all bluetooth hardware" is another money abuse advertise. Because all it matters is money

so note to myself:
next time buy chinese 3$ copies because that poop is working.

I actually need to thank you for that Video, in fact it solved my issue completely! And yes I do have a USB-BT400 from Asus and it do work with bluetooth.

That video you linked me to actually helped a lot. Here is what I did.

First I uninstalled the driver (ScpDriver.exe)
Secondly I swapped port of the USB bluetooth so it won't load same driver just in case.
Then I started the program the video described.
The item for me is called ASUS BLUETOOTH DEVICE.
Installed Driver.
Then started ScpDriver.exe and installed the driver as well.

And from here on it just simple worked for me.

I can confirm that the BT400 dongle works with PS3 controllers.

Other than following the linked video you need to install the official Xbox360 controller drivers before the system detects the PS3 controller.

Edit: my dongle showed as BCM20702A0 in Zadig

Thank you, i followed the video + your steps and it works great now.
This thread is gold.

Hey guys, I know this is a really old thread but I had a bad time trying to configure my controller with an ASUS BT, listed as BCM20702A0. I just fixed this issue and wanted to add my part. I did the same procedure than Tenerezza

The only difference is that you need to open ScpServer at the end, some log information will load and then you just need to mark your controller (Pad 1), and then click "Pair" at the bottom, all this needs to be done with your usb cable connected to your PS3 controller, after pairing simply unplug your cable and enjoy!.

After this you can also open ScpMonitor and the Host address will appear and so your controller information (This does not appear before using ScpServer).

Thank you again for this thread, I hope you guys can fix it as well, greetings ^^

I did as tenerezza said and it worked like a charm! Glad all my frustration is over with!

I use a cronusmax. I plug the bluetooth dongle in to it and then it in to the PC. It also has the advantage of being able to tell the PC the DS4 is a 360 controller so it then works with games that only support the xbox controllers and don't directly support the DS4.

Thank you all! It took me forever to get my Kinivo BTD-400 Bluetooth adapter to work properly with my PS3 controller. With the help of the thread and this post in particular, I finally got it to work!! Thanks everyone!!

Hello all. Read alot of the tips and tricks and nothing helped. I solved my BT problems with the BT400 as followed in windows 10.

Device Manager -> Bluetooth -> BT400 -> Propereties -> Driver -> Update driver -> Choose own driver -> Let me choose from a list -> press the "disc exists" -> go to folder "driver" in zadig map and choose BMC20702A0

For some reason i had the BMC20702A0 driver in the zadig map, it probably got there of the failed installation attempts with zadig.

Manually doing this will override windows own attempt to keep the latest driver installed.

Hope this helps to anyone who still has the problem.

So this driver overwrites the regular Windows bluetooth driver... Does anyone know if you can use one dongle to work with PS3 controllers, and a second one using the regular drivers?

i purchased this dongle hoping to get my ds3 working wirelessly but it didn't. after tinkering with zadic now it work.
then i shutoff the pc, pulled out asus bt400 and turn on pc.
pushed the ps button and it work without the asus bt400

because i also apply the generic bt driver onto the wifi/bt card.
oh well i can always use the dongle on a laptop.

Just get a cronusmax mate - www.cronusmax.com. You plug it into your pc and it gets installed as an Xbox 360 controlller. You then plug your bluetooth dongle in to it and synv your ds3/ds4 or wiimote with it. The pc doesn't even know the bluetooth dongle is there and you don't have to worry about any dodgy bluetooth drivers messing up your system.

As I said before, it also makes the pc think my playstation controllers are xbox controllers so I don't need any custom or dogy third party drivers at all. Everything is done via the hardare.
