Hardware
- All controllers that can be paired and work with regular PlayStation 3 should work, including third party ones.
- Has switch on side of adapter, allowing for both XInput and DirectInput modes natively. XInput should work with regular drivers, for rumble to work with DirectInput mode, drivers needs to be downloaded manufacturers website.
- Can connect one controller in XInput Mode and four controllers in DirectInput Mode.
- Includes turbo mode. Pressing "PlayStation" and button toggles turbo for that button. To disable turbo for all buttons press PlayStation button twice quickly.
- A bit more expensive than other options but provides other useful features and great compatibility.
- Supports Streaming games from your TV via your network and works with the DualShock 3 via built in bluetooth.
- Can be used just to send input from a DualShock 3 to a PC. Just go into Streaming options, hit y and disable video and audio streaming.
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Supports lots of other controllers like DS4, Wii U Pro Controller, Xbox One and 360.
- Either you need to be playing games streamed to your TV, have the PC in the same room as the TV or plug it in to a monitor via HDMI to set it up. Once you have it set up then you can play from your normal monitor.
- Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a pretty good low latency wi-fi.
