Love your SIXAXIS controller? Wish you could just plug it into your PC and enjoy the spoils of familiarity when engaging in PC gaming sessions? You're in luck, so long as you're not terrified of branching out a bit and loading up some new drivers on your rig. A Japanese coder has whipped up four drivers that not only enable Sony DualShock 3 controllers to operate within Windows, but also support rumble and enable all sorts of tweaking. Hit the read link to get the show started, and be sure to let us know how it goes.

nice find. i don't game on my PC anymore but glad to know if I do go back it won't be too weird with my dualshock 3 in my hands

Fascinating.

I do some of my PC gaming with a lil contraption that has ports for DualShock 1&2 controllers.

I use my ps2 controllers via a ps2/ps3 converter to the ps3 on the pc... And it does all of it as well, even guitar hero... Always thought of ripping the software off to use with my dualshock...

Nice find, maybe i can finally play some street fighter on my pc now..

Cool. Maybe i'll try that sometime. I don't got problems switching between ps3 and pc games though since i'm used to both.
