How to Connect a PS3 Controller to Steam

Best Answer

Easy peasy! Just use a USB cable to connect your PS3 controller to your PC. Then, open Steam in Big Picture Mode, go to Controller Settings, and it should recognize the PS3 controller. If it doesn't, you'll need SCP Toolkit to install the necessary drivers.

Forget the cables! Get a Bluetooth dongle and SCP Toolkit. Once installed, your PS3 controller can connect wirelessly to your PC and work with Steam. Just make sure the drivers are set up right.
