    Can I use a PS3 controller on PC games?


    I have some old PC games that only have mouse and keyboard control options. Is there a way to play the games with a PS3 controller? I can't find an option for a controller in the game settings though.

    :)

    Since I updated to Windows 8.1 I cannot get my PC to charge my controller. Is there anyway to get the driver I need to enable my PC to do this again?



    Go to your Device Manager and then to your Human Interface Devices section before plugging in your PS3 controller. Then plug in your PS3 controller and you will see "HID-compliant game controller" and "HID-compliant wireless radio controls" be updated to your Human Interface Devices section. Right click and disable "HID-compliant game controller" then unplug and replug in your PS3 controller and it should charge fine.
