Following up to the guide on using PS3 Controller in Windows, here’s another one to use it via Bluetooth. And now it has vibration support as well! Hope this guide helps! Also, for those who want to copy anything from my guide please do inform me. I hate it when people just claim everything was their own work. Some of the methods are discovered by myself so credit me!

- Firstly, we need to download some files!

• Bluetooth dongle (must be 2.0 above!)
• Libusb32 drivers (please read end of post): Link
• BtSix 1.5c (credits to 89ron) : Link
• Microsoft Visual C++ Library (when you get Application error for BtSix): Link
• PPJoy 0.83 (configures buttons): Link | Homepage
• FreeBT driver (allows BtSix to access dongle): Link

Using PS3 Controller in Windows (Wired)

UPDATED ARTICLE MOVED TO HERE

Well, this is one of my tips for those Vista and XP users who wants to use their SIXAXIS or Dualshock 3 controller.

*Update 20th March 2009 – New Windows Dualshock 3 Drivers from japanese coder and new layout.
*Update 2nd November 2008 - Notes on WinSIXAXIS implementation. Read towards the end.

- I’ve updated this post and divided into Four Methods. I’m not using wired anymore but I’ll test if I have free time. Please please spend a little on a bluetooth dongle! It works wonders!!!

- Method A is the first and original method (did not work for me)

- Method B is my preferred method.

- Method C is an improvement of Method A, utilizing PPJoy but not for Dualshock 3.

- Method D is the latest and drivers created by a Japanese coder. This should be the BEST method, currently.
