Honestly, just get a PS4 controller for a smoother experience. Works out of the box with Steam.
First, connect your PS3 controller to your PC using a USB cable. Then download SCP Toolkit and follow the setup wizard to install the drivers. Once installed, open Steam's Big Picture mode, go to 'Settings', and 'Controller Settings'. Check 'PS3 Configuration Support', and you're good to go!
As someone who still swears by their PS3 controller, I recommend using SCP Toolkit for driver installation. Then, go into Steam's Big Picture mode to configure everything. Trust me, it works like a charm!
