Controller issues with PS3 controller
Like the title says I play all my games using my PS3 controllers on PC. I use something called bthPS3. It works great for all my game that I use a controller to play instead of keyboard and mouse and allows me to play wirelessly so no need to mess around with wires that just don't last.

Anyone managed to get *both* a PS3 & a PS4 controller to work on PC?
ScpToolkit is abandoned for a long time and you should avoid using it, as it has various issues that will never get fixed. The replacement for it is BthPS3 + DsHidMini, they're in early beta but already works very well.
