To avoid this, you need to pair the controller via Bluetooth.
The main drawback is that the controller remains paired with your PlayStation, so when you disconnect the controller, it turns on the PlayStation. If you want to use it also via Bluetooth, prefer to make the Bluetooth setup first.Ĭonnecting the controller via USB just works™ out of the box. There is nothing to install anymore on recent versions of Ubuntu, as Dualshock 3 (and 4 I believe) is natively supported by the Kernel, in both USB and Bluetooth. You can test the functionality of your controller through Jstest-gtk (install: sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk) If you press the Playstation button, the computer will receive its input and simulate it as an Xbox 360 controller, which should work the same as the playstation controller.start xboxdrv with sudo xboxdrv -detach-kernel-driver.install xboxdrv from the Ubuntu Software Center or with sudo apt-get install xboxdrv.If it does not work automatically, this link might answer your question. I use another similar PnP controller, and it works without difficulty. It might be that the controller already works if you do this (You can test this with jstest-gtk as listed below). I don't know how to connect the controller via bluetooth to your computer (if you even have a bluetooth receiver), so this answer focusses on usb connection. This is supplied with a PS3 device (it is the primary way to charge the controller). This will make it work for more games.You are able to connect the controller to the pc via usb cable. The next step is installing a virtual Xbox 360 Controller driver, which will trick Windows into thinking your PS3 controller is an Xbox 360 controller. Otherwise, feel free to hit “Next” and skip this process. If you really want wireless support, you’ll need to plug in the sacrificial dongle, make sure it’s the ONLY device in the list, and then click “Initialize All Connected Devices.” The next screen is for Bluetooth support, which you may not want because it requires a dedicated Bluetooth dongle to be “sacrificed.” Rightly so, there’s a huge “WARNING” label on this screen, because installing it to a wireless mouse dongle on accident will cause you to have a very bad time. Click “Run,” and you’ll be shown a list which should now include your controller.Ĭlick the “Initialize All Connected Devices” button (don’t skip through with next button), let it install, and then click “Next.” This will configure the controller to be recognized as a PS3 controller, and install some drivers. After the utility is done installing the toolkit, it will ask you to run the driver installer. You should take this time to find your PS3 controller and plug it in with a USB cable. The installation process will take a few minutes.
