Ps3 controller windows 10

Game controllers may seem like ordinary peripherals that you can attach to a console and a PC alike but they’re not as simple as a keyboard and mouse. A keyboard and mouse will work with most computers, regardless of make and model. The same does not hold true for game controllers.

PS controllers are popular if you own a PlayStation. Ideally, if you game on a Windows 10 PC, you should use an Xbox controller with it but you can also use a PlayStation controller.

PlayStation controllers, much like Xbox controllers, tend to get hardware improvements over time. new models are released with the PS5 controller being the newest at the moment. The PS3 is fairly old (introduced in 2006) and predates Windows 10. You need drivers to get the controller to work and you will need to use third-party drivers.

Install PS3 drivers

ScpToolkit is a third-party app that will install drives for unofficial/third-party PlayStation controllers on Windows 10 which is what the PS3 controller basically amounts to since no official drivers for it are available for Windows 10.

Set up PS3 controller for installation

If you have a wired PS3 controller, or you want to use it as a wired controller, connect the PS3 controller to your computer via the USB data cable.
If you want to use a wireless PS3 controller, connect its Bluetooth dongle to your system.

Install ScpToolkit

Download ScpToolkit from SourceForge.
Run the app.
Accept the terms of use, and select where you want to install the app.
Do not change the default presets of the app however, if you plan on using the controller via Bluetooth connection, make sure the ScpToolkit Bluetooth Pair Utility option is enabled.
Click Install.

When prompted, click the Run driver installer button.
Choose the drivers you want to install. For a PS3 controller, you should check Install Dualshock 3 driver and for a Bluetooth connection, and click Next.
Open the Choose controller dropdown and select your controller from the list.
Click Next and allow the drivers to install.
Once installation is complete, you can use the PS3 controller with supported games.

Disable Driver signature enforcement

ScpToolkit normally works fine as is but if driver installation fails, you may need to disable driver signature enforcement on Windows 10.

Open the Start Menu and click the power button.
Hold down the Shift key and click Restart in the power menu.
Go to Troubleshoot>Advanced options>Startup Settings.
Select the Disable driver signature enforcement option and tap the F7 key to boot to the desktop.
Try installing the driver again with the ScpToolkit.

PS3 controller and Steam

If you play games on Steam, the process is going to be much easier. Steam has native support for it.

Connect the controller to your system.
Open Steam.
Steam will automatically switch to Big picture mode and if it doesn’t, switch to it manually.
Go to Controller Settings menu.
Set up the PS3 controller.

Note: some enhanced features of the controller may not work but you will be able to game comfortably.

Conclusion

If you have a PS3 controller lying around, it’s worth investing a little time to get it working. If you’re looking to buy a new controller, and you plan on using it with a Windows 10 PC, it’s best to buy an Xbox controller. If you have your heart set on a PlayStation controller, get either the PS5 or the PS4 controller so that it is easier to set up.

The PlayStation 3 controller (aka the DualShock 3) wasn’t design to be used on the PC. Will that stop us? Absolutely not.

The DualShock 3 may not be the easiest pad to plug-and-play, but with a little determination and some free software we can make it happen. And there’s good reason to keep one of these near-20-year-old pads around, particularly when it comes to emulation.

Even though Sony’s made some big improvements with its newer controllers, the PS3 controller is still special. You’ll want one if you emulate PS2 or PS3 games on PC, because the DualShock 3 has something even the best PC controllers don’t have: Pressure-sensitive analog face buttons.

This unique feature, which Sony dropped with the DualShock 4, makes the DualShock 3 the best choice for playing games in the PCSX2 or RPCS3 emulators. Emulated Metal Gear Solid 3, for example, just doesn’t play right without those analog buttons, a feature they had to modify for the Master Collection PC port.

Longtime PlayStation owners may also just prefer the feel of Sony’s lighter older controllers over the DualShock 4 or Dualsense. Nothing wrong with that! If you’re a controller nostalgist but stick to modern versions of Windows (e.g. 10 or 11), there’s thankfully a very convenient tool that makes the DualShock 3 way easier to connect to PC than it used to be.

One note before we get into the meat of the guide: Steam Input actually has native support for the DualShock 3, meaning you can simply plug the controller in and set it up through the Controller settings menu. However, Steam does not support the DualShock 3’s gyro controls or (more importantly!) its analog face buttons, which are what we’re really after.

Follow this guide to get the PS3 controller working on PC with those buttons fully functional.

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

Windows 10/11 DualShock 3 setup

What you need

Hardware

DualShock 3 and mini-USB cable
Optional: Bluetooth dongle

Software

DsHidMini
BthPS3 (optional, for Bluetooth)

As noted in the intro, keep in mind that Steam has built-in support for the DualShock 3 controller. If you plug the controller in with Steam running, you can then go to Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration to customize your controls as you see fit. And if you want to play non-Steam games with the controller, you can add them to Steam with the «Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library» menu.

But presumably you’re here because you want to get those analog face buttons working. For years the go-to solution was ScpToolkit, a free, open source tool that did the job but was a bit of a beast to setup. The developer of ScpToolkit sunset the project in 2016, but has since followed it up with the new DsHidMini, a DualShock 3 controller driver specifically built for Windows 10 and 11.

Here’s how to get setup with it.

Note: If you’ve previously installed ScpToolkit on your system or ever used Sony’s PSNow streaming service, you may have some leftover files that will interfere with DsHidMini. Check this troubleshooting guide for help on removing those files before you begin the installation process.

DsHidMini setup guide

As you get started, do not plug your DualShock 3 in yet. We need it unplugged for the moment.

If you want Bluetooth support for your DualShock 3, first download and install BthPS3Setup_x64.msi from the project’s Github here.

Now download DsHidMini .zip from the project’s Github.

DsHidMini’s walkthrough recommends having Windows User Account Control enabled for the installation process. This is the warning that pops up when you’re installing new software. Normally I have this turned off on my PC, but it’s easy to enable for this install process. Press the Windows key and type «UAC» to bring up the User Account Control Settings menu. Move the slider all the way up to «Always notify» and click OK.

Follow the rest of the installation instructions from DsHidMini’s developer here.

There are only a few steps, so I’ll bullet point them here to make sure you don’t miss any:

Extract the .zip file and open the x64 folder
Right-click the dshidmi.inf file and hit «Install» from the context menu
Right-click on igfilter.inf and hit «Install» from the context menu
Connect the controller via USB
Right-click and run DSHMC.exe as Administrator

If you run into any issues, follow the troubleshooting guide here.

How to use the DualShock 3’s pressure-sensitive buttons in PCSX2 or RPCS3 emulators

Now for the most important step: getting those sweet analog buttons working.

In the DsHidMini Control software, make sure your controller is set to SDF mode (Single Device with Force Feedback). «The advantage of this mode is a 100% compatibility with all unmodified versions of PCSX2 with the LilyPad gamepad plugin (shipped by default),» writes developer Nefarius.

If you’re planning to use your DualShock 3 with Steam or the RPCS3 emulator, use SXS mode.

In the emulators, select the DualShock 3 gamepad as your input and bind the buttons if necessary. In games that support pressure sensitivity, they should now work as they would on a real console.

How to use the DualShock 3 via Bluetooth

Good news: This part should be a cinch. Once you’ve followed the installation instructions for DsHidMini above, your PS3 controller should be working fine via a wired USB connection. And pairing it via USB should automatically pair it via Bluetooth, too!

If you unplug the DualShock 3 and it doesn’t work, check out the Bluetooth troubleshooting section of the walkthrough, and make sure your version of Bluetooth is supported.

Windows 7/8 DualShock 3 setup

What you need

Hardware

DualShock 3 and mini-USB cable
Optional: Bluetooth dongle

Software

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 runtime
Microsoft DirectX runtime
Xbox 360 controller driver (only needs to be installed on Windows 7)
ScpToolkit

1. Download the software linked above, and start by installing the four Microsoft packages. If you’re on a Windows 7 PC, you’ll also need to install the Xbox 360 controller driver. On Windows 8, it’s already built in!

2. Important step: plug your DualShock 3 into your PC with a mini-USB cable. Now we can start making it work.

Bluetooth installation note: if you also want to be able to use the controller wirelessly, make sure you have a Bluetooth dongle plugged in or your motherboard’s Bluetooth enabled. ScpToolkit notes you need a Bluetooth 2.0 or higher dongle that supports Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).

3. Download ScpToolkit and run the installer. After accepting the terms and choosing your install location, you’ll get a menu of all the options to install, as in the screenshot above. I recommend leaving this to the default. Click Install to begin the installation.

Bluetooth installation note: Make sure the ScpToolkit Bluetooth Pair Utility option is ticked.

4. After about 30 seconds, ScpToolkit will be installed, and you’ll see this screen, with a big green button that says Run Driver Installer. Since this is a fresh install, that’s what we want to do. Click the button.

5. This screen may look intimidating, but it’s still pretty simple! Check the boxes for the drivers you want to install. In this case, we want to make sure Install DualShock 3 driver is checked (it should be by default). Now click the arrow next to «Choose DualShock 3 controllers to install» to see a dropdown list of USB devices attached to your computer. Find the PlayStation 3 controller in the list and check it.

Bluetooth installation note: Make sure the «Install Bluetooth driver» box is checked. Like you did with the DualShock 3, click the arrow next to «Choose Bluetooth dongles to install» and find your Bluetooth device in the list. Check it.

Note: If you’re on Windows Vista, check the box for «Force Driver Installation.» Otherwise, leave it unchecked. Click Install.

6. Watch the SCP Toolkit run through its installation process. You’ll see lots of pop-ups on the side of your screen as it detects your hardware. Scroll to the bottom of the log and you should hopefully see «DualShock 3 USB Driver installed» (and «Bluetooth Driver installed» if you chose to), signifying a successful installation. If all went well, click Exit.

7. Now that it’s installed, you’ll see ScpToolkit as an icon in your system tray. Look in your Start Menu for ScpToolkit Settings Manager. Here you can change some settings like disabling rumble, adjusting analog stick deadzones, and more. Most of these settings you should be able to leave alone.

ScpToolkit starts up with Windows by default, and also plays some sound effects that you might find obnoxious. To disable them, click the Sound settings tab and uncheck «Enable notification sounds.»

PCSX2 emulator note: The PCSX2 settings tab allows you to patch the emulator’s LilyPad controller plugin to support the pressure sensitive buttons. If you plan to use your PS3 controller with the emulator, click Browse to navigate to your PCSX2 installation folder, then click Enable to install the patch. Voila!

Using your Playstation 3 controller on PC

Now that it’s installed, the DualShock 3 should behave like an Xbox 360 controller. Any game with native XInput support—pretty much any modern PC game that supports gamepads—should recognize it without a hitch. Unfortunately, this means that it won’t register as a PlayStation controller to the few games that have native DualShock 4 support, so you won’t get the correct Square/Cross/Triangle/Circle button icons by default.

Some games let you manually choose your button icons, though. Look for that in game settings!

Enter the Gungeon lets you manually set button icons.

If you ran into issues installing ScpToolkit or using the controller, you can try posting in the official thread at the PCSX2 forums, but you may not get an answer.

How to connect your PS3 controller via Bluetooth in Windows 7/8

If you’re not about that wired business, and followed all the Bluetooth installation steps above, you should be able to simply unplug the controller, and after a couple seconds it will sync via Bluetooth. You’ll get a notification in the system tray when it does. Cool!

This works after a reboot, too. If you allow ScpToolkit to start with Windows, you should simply be able to plug in your PS3 controller again and it’ll instantly be recognized. Once the LED is on, unplug the controller, and it’ll once again be synced via Bluetooth.

If you have issues with Bluetooth, it could be that your dongle isn’t supported. You may also find help in ScpToolkit’s Github discussions. Bluetooth can be finicky, and any problem you run into could be due to hardware, or your particular version of Windows, or drivers… in other words, good luck.

i already have this and it has made some games like the ac series much more enjoyable on the pc:) also this is the best way to win the «oh but computers have bad controls» argument:D i never understood console owners, they complain about a mouse and keyboard when their graphics are about the equivalent of low for pc gamers, and computers allow a lot more flexibility in terms of controls then consoles.
