How I improved my life with a PS3 controller

MotionToJoy is pretty hard to setup IMO - they should work on their UX. IIRC you plug in the PS3 controller THEN install the software THEN go to the device manager tab of the software THEN install driver THEN restart the program because it doesn't work otherwise THEN go back to the first tab and pick the right profile for your needs (PS2 is the simplest because you don't worry about tilt sensors) THEN activate the profile THEN open the game controller panel to calibrate the new joysticks that appear. This is just for USB, bluetooth you have to have a specific kind of dongle and then override the drivers/pair the controller to your PC which is more steps.

<i>&#62; the analog sticks will be perfect for emulating the mouse</i><p>My experience has been the exact opposite. I can barely browse on the PS3.

I use a combination of a 360 controller, a wireless receiver for windows[1] and joy2key to control XBMC and emulators for classic games. The 360 controller is a lot more pleasant to hold and use IMO compared to a PS3 controller.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows/dp/B000HZFCT2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Wind...</a>

Hmm, actually makes me want to try something similar, but with a Wiimote. I picture grand orchestra conductor-like gestures to close and switch tabs…

Would love to see a video of this being used. I can't visualise this working.
