How is a DUALSHOCK 3 controller used on PC

[HEC]

I've used MotionJoy over years. But this one is the better one. No need to run a config tool after every reboot. No ads.

Mhh - strange - there is no need to run it ever again after the initial setup (if done correctly) nor you'll see any addds (unless you open the configuraton tool again to change something).

Hi, This noob have always been used MotionInJoy program for using the DS3 in PC... Even if I play in PC, as happens to you, I'm really a sad sad player with the keyboard + mouse, my hand usually is in pain if I have to press the "w,a,s,d" keys more than 5 minutes.

If you have any doubt about how to install the MotionInJoy, ask here!...

Also, there's a "local mode" so you can avoid the spam that the home mode has (It uses internet explorer for displaying some adds and that, unlike local)

Bad thing is that... You can't use the DS3- bluetooth function with it, or at least when I tried to use certain bluetooth devices the driver of MotionInJoy just overwritten that... (Probably it is time to get a normal PC gamepad emulating Ps2-Ps3...)

It uses motion in joy's drivers but uses a different (and safer) software to load it. I do not recommend using other drivers for FFXIV for a simple reason: Other drivers emulate the R2 / L2 the same was as xbox's triggers. In other words, you have to completely push it down for the press to be recognized. Motion in joy drivers detect even a slight pressure on the buttons, just like it works with R1 / L1.

That is a huge deal for the cross hot bar, and makes a lot of difference, making it a lot easier to use abilities.

This. BetterDS3 is the best for PS3 controllers on PC. Motioninjoy's program needs an internet connection to use and subsequently can leave a backdoor open on your computer. When I used to use Motioninjoy it would occasionally open up my web browser to some japanese website when closing the program. BetterDS3 was specifically made because of Motioninjoy's internet connection requirement.

All you have to do is plug your controller into your usb with your charging cable, go into the system menu and enable gamepad, they under type select ps3. No need to download or install anything. The cross hotbar is labeled the exact same as the PS3. This does not, however, work with the PS4 controller.
