Have a PS3 ? Want to make it a PC gamepad ?? see here*

It works with vibration and the sixaxis sensor

what do you need:

A ps3 controller
A usb port
and optionally a bluetooth adaptor (yes you can play it wireless :D)


Alright then, go here : http://www.motioninjoy.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and download the latest version of their program. (check here, both 32 and 64-bit versions available : http://www.motioninjoy.com/download" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Install instructions here : http://www.motioninjoy.com/help/sixaxis ... structions" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

suggest you guys give it a reboot once you get it all installed

Besides using it on the computer you can also emulate a 360 controller . All buttons are right on, vibration works, tested it with Beat hazard and Batman Arkham Asylum

It' got like... 1 million times more sensitivity than a Pc! And because of it's a joystick you move with 1 finger you have not that much control, AND; (this is just Pc-gamers tho) It's much easier to click 29 buttons instead of the same 15 buttons and push some together to make an act, better with many to click than combining a few...

Analog control thats why

its the same as flight joysticks, you get more precision on movement for example...

Whereas on the keyboard its basically all or nothing

I think he means you can control how fast it is, i.e. racing games on a keyboard - you turn all the way to the left or all the way to the right, analogue would let you turn at a smaller angle, same with throttle and breaks.
But to be honest it boils down to what you're used to. It's only natural that people who've been playing mostly consoles will feel more comfortable with a controller. And I couldn't aim with twin analogue sticks even if my life depended on it.
Great job, BBloke!
