Want to use your PS3 Controller on the PC via Bluetooth 3.0? Well PS3 Homebrew Developer SvenGDK who is known for XMBPCE and PS-Multi Tools. Has written a Guide titled "Use PS3 Controller On PC With Unsupported Bluetooth 3.0+ Adapter". You can see below the full TuT from SvenGDK, that will no doubt become very useful for many users seeking to use their PS3 Controller on the PC via bluetooth.

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new Bluetooth Adapter 3.0 and was working about 1 hour to get my controller working via bluetooth because Motioninjoy doesn’t support it…

The thing is that many 3.0 & 4.0 adapters are unsupported with Motioninjoy.

If you have the same issue then here’s a possible solution:

- First make sure you have ALL old drivers completely REMOVED!

- Insert your Bluetooth Adapter and install it with the original bluetooth software

- After the installation you need to get the MAC address from your bluetooth adapter (Bluetooth settings -> Hardware)

- Install the Sixaxis Pair Tool (DOWNLOAD HERE)

- Plug in your PS3 Controller

- After the installation start the Sixaxis Pair Tool and plugin your PS3 controller (It will install a driver to change the MAC address)

- After the driver installation enter your bluetooth adapter MAC address (with “:”) and click UPDATE!

- Close Sixaxis Pair Tool

- If you have done this then go to your bluetooth suite and add a bluetooth device, make sure you push the PS button when searching! continue without pair codes etc. … (Don’t be irritated by the non stop flashing of the controller)

- Now install Motioninjoy (DOWNLOAD HERE)

- Do not start it after installation!

- Re-plugin your PS3 Controller

- Start Motioninjoy and INSTALL ONLY the PS3 Controller (via Load Driver)

- The bluetooth adapter driver will now also be overwritten but it will work.

If you have followed these steps then you should be able to have a working bluetooth connection with your PS3 controller.

I'll give this a try. There's been a few method of doing the same thing, but none hae been very satisfactory.

Hmm first I'm hearing of such malware from motion joy. DS3 tool seems to work without fault and has so for many months via USB cable.

Supposedly you can use a ps3 controller with an andriod OS phone or tablet....do a google search and you should find it. I don't think there is a way to use it with IOS devices.
