Even one of those knock-off dongles will be cheaper than a new Dual Shock 3. I would recommend trying to get the Xbox wireless working only if you already have an Xbox 360 but not a PS3.

You can use a standard USB cable which comes with the PS3, or with a little research dedicate most $15 Bluetooth controllers to pair wirelessly.

MotionJoy is now signed for Windows so it installs easily and emulates X-Input perfectly. You have better quality control on the analog sticks than the old Xbox 360 wired controllers (the sticks on mine are loose and have dead-zone problems in some games) and a far superior D-Pad. It is a bit technical, I think a Dual Shock 3 with MotionJoy is a better solution for the most part these days.

So, Microsoft basically made their controller better, but then prevent you from using it on a PC where you might actually use the D-Pad. The problem with this while thing is I want one of those new controllers to use with my PC, but they don't make those things wired and they don't sell dongles. Microsoft realized they could make more money forcing people to buy a whole new wired controller. I swear (at least in the UK) those damn receivers were the same price as a controller said: Then they realized that they can just make you buy a whole new second one by no longer making the dongle. So previously you could just take that same controller, buy a $20 dongle and resync it to the pc/console as wanted. Most people looking to buy a 360 controller for their PC would already have the one that came with the 360 console. Why would Microsoft rather have you buy the wired controller than said: said: The same happened to mine. If someone's receiver breaks and they want to replace it and that's the only way to get a new, official receiver than they'll buy that package instead of the wired one. I'm asking why they'd rather sell you a wired controller than the $60 wireless controller and receiver package. Microsoft realized they could make more money forcing people to buy a whole new wired controller.Why would they rather you buy a new wired controller than a wireless controller + receiver combo? He's implying that you already have a wireless controller, so it's more expensive for you to buy an additional wired controller than to simply buy a wireless receiver.

Where can you even buy another one of those things? The ones on Amazon are all knock offs.
