anyone here use ps3 sixaxis controller for their laptop?

I have been searching the net for more info, but there is very little out there. I found out that with a certain driver, that you will find when you google on this specific controllers use on a pc. So it works, but for what I understood it's only the buttons that work.
Does anyone here use it on their laptop or pc? If so, is it any good? I'm looking to pick up a controller by the end of the month, still figuring out with one to go for.

An other question on the sixaxis part, does anyone have info if sony will give windows full support of this product? Because this thing would be a major plus, for lets say, flightsims or any other games that use the x,y,z axis, in stead of using a joystick with your laptop.
Also, I don’t have a ps3, will this thing charge via usb?

 

I heard rumors that hackers are using the Wii remote to play PC games.

 

I've tried to get my Wii-motes to work with my computer, I've gotten them to connect up but I can't get it to do anything, although I haven't put alot of time into it just tried once.
