Alright, first things first: you’ll need a bit of software magic. Download and install the SCP Toolkit. It’s an easy-peasy tool that sets up your PS3 controller on Windows. Once installed, plug in your controller via USB, fire up SCP Toolkit, and follow the prompts. Boom, you’re ready to play.

Honestly, just get a USB cable and use it to connect your PS3 controller directly to the PC. It makes life easier and saves you from the hassle of drivers.

Hey, I've done this before! After downloading the SCP Toolkit, connect your controller via USB. Let the toolkit install all necessary drivers. The controller should pair and be recognized as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It's been working like a charm for me!

Alternatively, consider using a Bluetooth adapter if your PC doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth. Pairing it can be a bit of a headache, but it’s doable. You'll need to sync your controller in SCP Toolkit’s pairing section.
