Steam
- Controller can be found in Supported Controller Database and it's correctly recognizable as PlayStation DualShock 3 controller.
- Not capable of making full use of Steam Input. Does not include support for the DS3 gyro or analog face buttons. Gyroscope is not visible in configuration menu.
- If you’re using a DS3 on Windows you’ll have to obtain the Sony driver through PlayStation Now.
Steam Link compatibility
- Natively supported wired and wireless (since beta build 554).[3]
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit Y and disable video and audio streaming.
- To pair over bluetooth connect via USB cable press PS button. Unplug USB cable then press again PS button and now DS3 works over bluetooth.
- Some clones (CECHZC2H Bluetooth DualShochIII and OUBANG PS3 Controller Wireless Dualshock3) won't work wirelessly.[4]
- Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Hardware
Mayflash Wireless PS3 Controller to USB Adapter
- 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.
Issues fixed
Controller no longer detected or working (Windows)

Playing with multiple PlayStation 3 Controllers on Windows
- Set up the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator, then play the desired multiplayer game with multiple controllers, such as Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
Games with DualShock button prompts
- Please note, that this is only list for games that offer DualShock button prompts.
- Some may require use of DualShock 4, which right now isn't possible to emulate. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Other information
Removing MotionInJoy
- Due to the way MotionInJoy behaves a full reformat is advised instead. The following steps could potentially harm Windows, backup any important files before following these instructions.
- MotionInJoy should be always treated as badware due to its odd and overall harmful behaviour. It can trigger BSODs, crashes and other major system issues.
