    Is this a possibility? I read that drivers are needed and you can get it going threw the bluetooth.

    But i haven't found the method anywhere but besides thread talk.

    I use the Logitech Rumba II, which looks identical to a PS3 controller and works through USB. It's very well built and I highly recommend it.

    +1 for Motionjoy and a usb B cable, lolz. I just it on my dinodesktop, so there's no reason why it wouldn't work on any other computer. GL HF

    Yes it is possible just have to do some research, coming from an xbox I prefer the feel of the 360 controller but either will work fine

    I installed the setup yesterday on our G73 and it works great!

    Be sure to install the signed drivers, they work great, so that you don't have to do any screwing around with bootup options. The signed drivers just work.

    Once the controller is paired, you just hit the PS button on it and it is connected. You just need to go into the utility to disconnect it an remotely turn off the controller.

    "Signed drivers" watcha talkin bout? Is this cuz you have 64-bit OS?

    I don't have to have hit the PS button. I just plug n play and it works. Just have to use DS3 Tool.

    you have to emulate the ps3 to a 360 controller on ds3 i figured it out ds3 tools is not plug and play you do have to install drivers and also have windows running on test mode.
