#GAMEPAD COMPANION PS3 PC INSTALL#

Plugging in a 360 controller (or using a wireless one with the PC receiver dongle) means you'll never have to touch control settings in any game with controller support. I guess you could re-map buttons if you want, but said: And then never need to do settings per game since its all at a system level. I can understand people liking one pad over the other for ergonomic reasons or whatever, but because of configuration? Setting that thing up was 1 installer and then done. It's almost a bonus to be able to turn the controller on/off without having to disconnect it. Everything will map 1:1 with a 360 controller by default, except maybe the PS button, but PC games never use that anyhow. The PC just does it for you.Īs for configuration, the only configuration that I ever do is go into the DS3 tool and turn on the controller when I want to use it.

You have to install drivers for the X360 controller as well.

Even if you prefer the DualShock as a controller it just isn't worth all the config hassle you'll have to go through to use it. Sorry that doesn't answer your question but I definitely feel you're better off going for a pad that instantly works with no worrying about remapping the trigger commands to R1/L1. The DS3 tool stuff is mostly accurate but I still find it silly to use that thing over a 360 pad because of them stupid 'triggers' I would always recommend just going for a 360 pad because that's what developers design their control schemes around.
