    handshaking with bluetooth? do the ps3 controllers work the same way a wiimote does
    4 flashing lights to show its in negotiation mode

    maybe there is an update for your bluetooth driver?

    it does work but its a pain for it to stay on espically when a ps3 is nere it your better off getting a 360 wired controller
