DS3 Tool

DS3 Tool connects PS3 controllers to your Windows PC via wireless or USB connection.

Tired of trying to find a controller for your computer that you actually like? What if you could use your PS3 Sixaxis or Dualshock controllers on your PC to play games? You can with DS3 Tool!

With this app you’ll be able to map specific buttons for PC games, emulators and others that accept gamepad input straight to your Playstation 3 controller and use it like you would any other.

While this tool is free, it’s important to point out that the interface to set the controller up could use a little work and the app runs annoying banner ads on your screen when you’re using it. This might not be a problem for some users, but others might want to try another tool like Xpadder instead.

All in all DS3 Tool is an easy way to get your PS3 controller working with your PC. There are ads and the interface isn’t the easiest to navigate, but it’ll work in a pinch.

Pros

• Free Tool There is no cost to install or update DS3, but expect to see some ads.
• Use Your PS3 Controller to Play Games on Your PC With this installed you’ll be able to use your PS3 controller to play any game, just like you would your wired Xbox controller.

Cons

• Annoying Adware This app is free but it also runs annoying banner ads along the top or bottom of your screen when in use.
• Interface Could Use Some Work The interface is a little dated, and it can be hard to map more advanced functions to your controller if you don’t know what you’re doing.
