I don't know if this is of interest to you, but I play on PC with Mouse + PS3 Move Navigation controller. There are a couple of ways to get the controller to work but the easiest is to simply buy the Mayflash PS3 to USB adapter.

The Move controller is one handed, so you hold it in your off hand that would normally be placed on the WASD keys. For me, it's mainly a comfort thing.

You can buy a Mayflash adapter which basically makes you PS3 controller work exactly like a Xbox 360 controller; you never have to mess with any software on your PC.

That said I wouldn't bother with it if you're getting a 360 controller since that's a far better controller for racing games anyway. Just thought it's worth a mention

Yeah that used to drive me nuts with MIJ - it was fine wired, but if I'm using a controller I'm probably playing from couch with the game displayed on the TV so I want bluetooth - and MIJ would need to be re-paired more often than not for BT to work. SCP is a lot better.

According to earlier reddit posts http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DSFW5MA works for BT pretty much plug-n-play and supports multiple controllers through the same connection. I'm waiting for mine to arrive to see if it's actually better than SCP or not.

If you want something that will be up and running in 2-3 minutes without having to constantly hassle with buggy drivers and/or multiple different downloads etc., try this:

There is also a version that works with the Wii U Pro controller. I've been using the PS3 one daily since launch and have not had any issues with it.

For people whose PCs don't have Bluetooth, who don't want to dedicate their Bluetooth adapter, or who want a simpler solution, I highly recommend the Mayflash Wireless Adapter for Dualshock 3. Just plug it in, use the hardware switch to select either Xinput or Dinput, and play.

My Bluetooth adapter is tied up using my Wii remote for Dolphin and I didn't want to have to constantly switch between standard Bluetooth for Wii or this wrapper, so I got it. And it's worked flawlessly since.

I'm using a DS3 controller along with this Bluetooth adapter.

The adapter has a switch to choose between one of two modes.

In Xinput mode, the adapter supports a single DS3 controller and works out-of-the-box (w/o VirtualHere). I've never run into any problems in this mode.

In Direct Input mode, the adapter supports up to 4 controllers, but requires VirtualHere. Although I also haven't run into any problems in this mode either, I haven't tested it very much.

One thing you may want to add is some info regarding Ethernet-over-powerline which can be a great alternative to Wi-Fi (when hardwired Ethernet isn't an option). The current standard is called HomePlug AV2 MIMO with a claimed theoretical speed of 2000Mbps - this is what to look for if you're buying a new adapter.

There are two AV2 MIMO chipset manufacturers (that I'm aware of), Broadcom and Qualcomm. Broadcom-based AV2 adapters tend to outperform Qualcomm (according to this review), but the adapter manufacturers don't usually tell you which chipset they use. These two adapters are Broadcom-based. The first has a built-in AC filter so you can plug additional stuff into it w/o affecting the speed, the second is cheaper but has no filter (but a 10 foot extension cord makes a pretty effective filter).

Finally, in my own experience, I've found AMD hardware encoding to be much more susceptible to dropped packets and jitter versus software encoding. If your network circumstances aren't ideal and you're getting dropped frames, try software encoding.

I use that, no drivers required. It's detected as an Xbox 360 controller, works out of the box.

u/Scalesdini · 1 pointr/pcgaming

If you want to keep using your PS3 controllers, don't mind spending $20, and don't mind dealing with xbox controller icons instead of PS controller icons: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DSFW5MA

I've used it for a year, aside from sometimes forgetting which button is which I've never had an issue with it. It works as a bluetooth adapter so you can use your controller wirelessly as well and the drivers have never given me an issue.

u/itsaride · 1 pointr/techsupport

Spent the last year messing about trying to get a ds3 working well with Win8, motioninjoy was dodgy and caused bluescreens and the Scarlet Crush driver never worked with any of my bluetooth adaptors.

I've ordered one of these and I will post back with results.

I use this, easy to set up, great range, up to 4 ps3 controllers at once, great for emulators as well.

u/sargonkid · 1 pointr/ffxiv

I use this with a PS3 controller (wireless - no drivers or software needed - just plug it in)...

Hey OP, I know your frustration. This is a different route, but can you consider dropping $20 to never worry or bother with MotioninJoy again?



Recently I made a emulator box top... thing to play together with my consoles (stuff like SNES and N64 for an HDTV without buying a bunch of converter boxes). I needed a controller to "just work" when I synced it, use Xinput, and not have to worry about that stupid software. I came across this: Wireless PS3 Controller To PC USB Adapter [Mayflash] ... Now I just turn on my computer, turn on my DS3, no hassle.



I know I'm probably sounding like some late night infomercial person right now but seriously, this thing saved me so much headache and anger from trying to get the DS3 to work. Now, it seriously does work. Maybe consider it?

u/JMS230 · 1 pointr/PCSX2

If you don't want to use any extra software then this
adapter works well. It allows you to switch between x-input and d-input easily.

u/Jammerware · 1 pointr/DarkSouls2

I've never connected a PS3 controller to my PC, but I'm positive that it's possible and nearly positive that it's possible to do so in a stable fashion :) This might help, but I've never used it. Reviews look pretty good though.

u/pavalier_patches · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace
u/TacoOfGod · 1 pointr/EmulationOnPC

This one is the one I was referring to, since it's the only one I've found people to actually state it works with the PCSX2 plugins allow for analog detection of all buttons.

The one you linked to probably does as well, but I haven't read anything to specifically state that it does.

u/cloroxbb · 1 pointr/gaming

If I didnt already have a wireless 360 dongle, I would buy the wireless Wii U Pro Controller dongle (for the superior D-pad) and just use a Wii U Pro Controller...
Try this -PS3 Wireless dongle-

u/my_reddit_persona · 1 pointr/Steam_Link

According to the compatible controllers wiki it looks like this adapter will work for your PS3 controller: https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Wireless-PS3-Controller-Adapter/dp/B00DSFW5MA

u/tadtz · 1 pointr/ffxiv

I use this and it works wonderfully with a PS3 controller, either wireless or wired. I've been able to set up pretty much everything just how I had it on the PS3. No janky drivers from sketchy sources needed.

u/Squall13 · 0 pointsr/emulation

Thanks for the answers guys.

I was thinking about this one. Mayflash. It looks like it solves EVERYTHING but sadly it doesn't work for DInput on the Fire TV.

Ugh maybe I'm just too picky on what to get. DInput why you do this to me!
