- How to connect PS3 controller on Mac OSX, PC, etc.
- ==========
- This is how you connect PS3 controller to Mac OSX, PC, etc. when previously connected to a PS3.
- You will need a **Mini USB cable**. Overcome your laziness, get up of your chair, and go get one!
- A big misconception is that keep holding PS button will reset the controller's pairing. It DOES NOT!
- From my testings, the controller **keeps paring with the last machine it was CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE**.
- Here are the steps:
- 1. Turn OFF your PS3 controller by either...
- - (on PS3) hold PS button -> Turn off Controller, OR
- - (on Mac) open Apple menu System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Click X button on the device list, OR
- - (on the controller itself) insert paperclip into pinhole near L2 button.
- 1. Use a USB cable, connect the controller to your **new** machine you want.
- 1. Wait just a second until the red light on the controller flashes, unplug the USB cable. Now the controller's setting is reset.
- 1. On your computer, go to System Preferences (OS X) or Control Panel (PC)
- 1. Open **Bluetooth settings** page. Start Scanning.
- 1. Turn ON the controller by pressing the PS button. Wait a few seconds.
- 1. If it asks for Access Code, enter **0000**.
- 1. Now connected! (yey)
- Tested on:
- - PS3 Console
- - MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with OS X Mavericks (10.9)
- Note:
- - If you have Steam opened, hitting PS button will switch Steam into full screen mode. Pretty sleek.
