Yo, use DS3 Tool aka MotioninJoy. Download it, plug in your PS3 controller, run the tool, and it should recognize it. Pretty straightforward!

You'll need to download and install the ScpToolkit, which tricks your PC into thinking your PS3 controller is an Xbox controller. Plug in the controller, launch the toolkit, and follow the on-screen instructions. It works like a charm!

Just connect your PS3 controller to your PC with a USB cable. Windows can't natively recognize it, so you need third-party software like ScpToolkit. Install it, follow the setup, and you're good to go.

Honestly, just get a PS4 controller. It's easier to use on PC and doesn't require as much setup.
