Once the application is installed and the controller is connected to the computer with the USB cable, you only have to follow the tutorial on the official webpage of the program and in a matter of seconds you will be able to use it.

I'm building a gaming computer since my laptop can't handle games as well as I'd like, and I fell in love with gaming on my Playstation systems. I want to continue using Playstation controllers sometimes when I switch to PC gaming. I have PS3 controllers presently.

I'm trying to use a PS3 controller to play Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga on PC. I managed to use "DS3 Tool" to connect the PS3 controller. As far as I could tell this worked fine; I could bring up the Windows calibration dialog and calibrate the controller. But when I started the game and tried to use the controller it didn't work: the in-game controller select menu didn't react when I was instructed to press a button on the controller.

MotionJoy probably works, but I prefer open sourced ScpToolkit which also doesn't show any ads. Install drivers for you ps3/ps4 controller with it, but then don't forget to install xbox controller drivers, which will also virtually map ps3 controls to xbox controls. They only inconvenience is that you'll see xbox style button names A/B/X/Y instead of X/O/square/triangle

Better DS3 is an offline MotioninJoy driver configuration tool. You can configure almost all the functions of the controller including LED assignment, vibration strength, Keyboard/Mouse mappings, and PCSX2 pressure sensitivity. This program is compatible with MotioninJoy driver 0.7.1001.You can use Better DS3 with Playstation emulators, too.

The Xbox 360 wired and wireless controllers for Windows can be used as joysticks or game controllers with a range of Windows games and applications. In particular the controller can be used with Second Life and OpenSim virtual world viewers. When using a virtual reality head mounted display (HMD) and not being able to see the keyboard, the gamepad style interaction for movement of an avatar and camera, and simple sorts of interaction with the virtual environment can be very useful indeed.

However, I have always found the Xbox controller awkward to use, and the Sony PlayStation controllers such as on the PS3 much easier. So it was useful to find that drivers and an Xbox 360 controller emulation is available to connect PlayStation controllers to Windows. A sample online tutorial can be found via this PC Magazine Page and this YouTube video by Wiltshire Tutorials..

I am using the PS3 controller directly connected via a USB cable. Bluetooth wireless connection is possible using the drivers and control panels. However, there are a number of limitations and issues if you go that route.

It does involve installing another program, but in this case it is PSNow from Sony. It is a way to play PlayStation 3 games on your PC from their hosted systems but that is not the important part right now. It has drivers for the controller from Sony.

MotioninJoy is supported through both USB and Bluetooth connection. Moreover, it allows up to four controllers to connect, allowing you to enjoy multiplayer games. However, the downside is that the interface is cumbersome. It has also turned into malware over the years. If you are looking for an alternative, you can use the ScpToolkit.

Many gamers prefer to use controllers in playing rather than the classic mouse and keyboard. It gives them more control over their character, especially when the game requires a lot of movement. However, controller support is limited on Windows PCs, and controllers often require custom drivers. MotioninJoy is a driver app that you can use if you wish to use a PS3 controller on your PC.

MotioninJoy is a helpful app to have if you want to play PC games using your PS3 controller. It is free to use, easy to set up, and can be used for all the games you may have. However, using it comes with a high-security risk. The app is known as a hub for malware, and installing it can infect your computer. You are better off using other alternatives.
