How to use a PS controller on your computer:

So please do not follow any guide that ask you to download MotioninJoy. Its official website is also not available now. You can use up to eight controllers at once, four PS3 controllers and four Xbox 360 controllers (Yes they will still work!).Important: MotioninJoy isn’t working anymore. Xbox 360 controllers will not light up at all When used as controller #5, #6, #7, or #8: The order the controllers are connected will determine which controller is which (just as with their respective consoles) Any combination of the two will work.Įxample: Four PS3 controllers as controllers #1, #2, #5, and #8, four Xbox 360 Controllers as controllers #3, #4, #6, and #7. PS3 controllers will all light up their fourth lightīattery levels will not ever display for the PS3 controllers. The PS and Xbox buttons on each controller will not open the controller info pane (it is only designed to display four controllers) I believe this is because PS3 controllers send their battery level information in a different way than Xbox 360 controllers and the Xbox 360 Accessories program does not recognize it. You can tell if the Xbox 360 controllers that are player #5 or higher are connected by pressing the Xbox button.The Playstation 3’s controller, the Dualshock 3, isn’t the easiest pad to get working on the PC. So why bother when it’s so much easier to use something newer? Well, in some ways, the PlayStation 3 controller is still special. The Dualshock 3 has something the best PC controllers don’t have: Pressure-sensitive analog face buttons. That makes the Dualshock 3 the best choice for playing emulated PS2 games in the PCSX2 emulator. Metal Gear Solid 3, for example, just doesn’t play right without those analog buttons.Īnd if you simply prefer the feel of Sony’s older controllers over the redesigned Dualshock 4, this is the perfect controller for playing those classic Final Fantasy games on Steam. Here’s the best way to get your PS3 controller working on PC, using an open source tool called ScpToolkit. Note: Steam actually has native support for the DualShock 3, meaning you can simply plug the controller in and set it up through the Big Picture mode Controller settings menu. However, Steam does not support the DualShock 3’s gyro controls or (more importantly!) its analog face buttons, which are what we’re really after.
