    I have a PS3 controller set up on my R1 and I want to know how I can control the sensitivity of Look Right, Left, Up and Down. When I toggle left, right, up or down it moves way to fast and I have no idea where I am. I want to be able to look left and right but a little bit slower.

    Is there a way where I can turn down the sensitivity or a setting some where?

    There aren't sensitivity settings in the games that you are using it for?

    There is sensitivity in MOH but when its turned down all the way it still acts the same.

    I am not able to use the PS3 controller in COD at all. Is there a way to get it working? I have tried it in xbox mode and ps3 mode with no luck.

    I already am using MotioninJoy but do not know how to control the sensitivity. Does anyone know of any settings or if there is a way to do this?

    I am able to walk forward, backwards and walk left or right without any issues. It is just when i look left, right, up or down that it goes crazy.

    Are you emulating a 360 controller?
    Either way, open the options tab in the DS3 tool and play with the dead zone, might help.

    Also, while we're on the subject I bought this BT dongle, it works perfectly with DS3 too, delivery took a a few weeks, but it was cheap and tiny!

    I am able to play CODBO and CODMW just fine with no problems with the PS3 controller. When it comes to MOH I have the issue with the right stick sensitivity going crazy.

    I am using the built-in bluetooth on my R1 and it works just great with no lag issues

    Usually checking the game's CFGs is the best place to start, there must be a sensitivity parameter in there.
