The PlayStation 3's DualShock 3 controller wasn't originally designed with the PC in mind. But who cares: We're gonna do it anyway. The DualShock 3 isn't quite as easy to use on PC as a modern Xbox ...

Connect your controller to another PS3, or connect a different PS3 controller to your PS3 to make sure the problem isn't with the console itself. Check the USB connection.

Now, they're set to release a new controller in March that aims to make PS3 and PS4 owners happy with a more Xbox-style setup with the Bluetooth-capable Defender.
