To connect a PS3 controller to your PC via Bluetooth, you'll need a Bluetooth adapter compatible with your PC and the Sixaxis Pair Tool. First, connect your PS3 controller via USB to your PC and use the Sixaxis Pair Tool to change its pairing address to match your PC's Bluetooth adapter. Then, disconnect the USB cable, press the PS button on the controller, and it should pair wirelessly!

Honestly, just get a Bluetooth dongle, plug it in, and use a program like SCP Toolkit to install the necessary drivers. After that, press the PS button and it should connect automatically.

Pro tip: Use a Bluetooth adapter that supports Bluetooth 2.0 or higher for smoother pairing. I did this, and my PS3 controller works like a charm!
