1. Download a program called ds3 tool.
2. Connect your controller with a wire or bt.
3. load the drivers (in ds3 tool) and configure it in game!

If you find this hard give it a search on youtube.

Basically what he said, but when you run the program a litle black box will appear for a second and then close. I run the program twice and then you can hit the ps home button and the computer should recognize the controller.

Hey, I'm using a Ps3 Dualshock too. If you haven't figured it out yet just pm me or reply to this and I'll set up a really easy tutorial :) I tried to follow a bunch of guides for DS3 tool and they were confusing, So I just played around and figured it out for my self.
