You'll need a USB Mini-B cable that connects the Playstation 3 controller to a console or USB port to charge it. Note the USB cable is only needed to set up the PS3 controller initially, and for charging it when necessary, the setup will be for the wireless usage of the Playstation controller through Bluetooth.
Step 4: Tap the PS Button on the front of the controller and then unplug the USB Mini-B Cable from the controller. The 4 red lights should now blink faster, indicating the controller is attempting to pair with your Mac.

Step 5: Your Mac will then prompt you to enter a password to pair with the controller. Enter "0000" (without the quotations) and select 'Pair'. The 4 red lights will continue to flash and 'PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller' should now indicate it is 'Connected' in your list of Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Congratulations! You have successfully connected your PlayStation Controller to your Mac. Now when you turn on the controller and open any controller-supported OS X video game both parties will automatically connect to each other, allowing you to simply pick up and play.
I'm trying to read from a PS3 controller in python on Ubuntu and I'm not having much luck. I started with the ps3joy driver from Willow Garage ( ) which supposedly publishes all the important bits of the PS3 controller to something I had never heard of called "uinput". Apparently it's a linux feature that allows userspace drivers to provide system events. ...Why the WG driver requires root access given that it's supposedly a userspace driver is beyond me, but that's not my question.
Anyway, the current state of me trying to get it to work is that I've got the driver working, and I've verified that it responds to button presses on the controller, but I don't know how to pull any of that data out so I can use it.
I know it's too late, but if anyone will ever need the code or is struggling with it, you can use mine. I've wrote a script in python that gets ps3 data from USB and sends it to specific a MAC address via PC's bluetooth (you can use ps3controller.py only for data). This was made for my quadcopter project.
Step 3: Connect your PlayStation 3 controller to your PC using a Mini USB cable (aka Mini Type-B). Typically they have a USB-A connector on the PC side but you can find cables with USB-C connectors on Amazon. Mini USB is older and larger than the more-common Micro USB connector used on the PS4 controller, mobile devices, and more.
Step 5: Click the boxed arrow next to the Choose DualShock 3 Controllers to Install option. On the resulting drop-down menu, find and select your DualShock 3 controller. If you also plan to use either a DualShock 4 or a Bluetooth dongle to enable wireless play, select those as well.
Be aware that you may encounter a few obstacles and challenges during the installation process, even with ScpToolkit helping to prevent most problems. On the contrary, you can allow driver installs. We highly recommend that no matter what you do, you should regularly back up all of your data. Doing so will save a copy of your data so you can easily restore it if you run into a situation where you lose it.
* Note: These instructions are specifically for OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion. The process is much simpler under OS X Mavericks and newer, and does not require many of the below steps, such as adding the controller to favorites.
Instructions for PlayStation game controllers and Xbox game controllers are available, but the general steps are the same for all Bluetooth game controllers that can be paired with a computer or mobile phone.
When you pair more than one controller that can be customized in this way, these settings include Buddy Controller. You can use the Buddy Controller feature to combine inputs from multiple controllers into one so that another person can support you in getting to the next level in your game.
Step 4: Tap the PS Button on the front of the controller and then unplug the USB Mini-B Cable from the controller. The 4 red lights should now blink faster, indicating the controller is attempting to pair with your Mac.
Congratulations! You have successfully connected your Sony PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller to your Mac. Now when you turn on the controller and open any controller-supported OS X video game both parties will automatically connect to each other, allowing you to simply pick up and play.
To get started, you need a Mac with any modern version of Mac OS X, Bluetooth support, a standard Sony Playstation 3 wireless controller with charging, and a Mini-USB cable that connects the Playstation 3 controller to a console or USB port to download it. Note that the USB cable is only required to initially install the PS3 driver, and if necessary to download it, the settings will be configured for wireless use of the Playstation controller via Bluetooth. You also need a game or application that supports drivers, most of which do. Assume you meet these requirements, connect the driver to your Mac, and start using it with Mac OS X.
The process of connecting the PS3 controller and using it with a Mac is the same for all versions of OS X outside of Lion, including MacOS Catalina 10.15, MacOS Mojave 10.14, High Sierra 10.13, MacOS Sierra 10.12, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite, etc.
Many Mac games support gaming with the Playstation 3 controller, and many games also play better with the controller, especially if they were originally designed for the console. For example, Old Republic Star Wars Knights:
If you want to disconnect the PS3 driver so that you can use it again with another device, playstation, or another Mac, or resynchronize it with Mac OS X due to a flashing light problem, or the device disconnects and connects continuously, just do the following:
Keep in mind that Bluetooth devices that constantly switch between pairing or disconnecting often have low battery power or external signal interference. You can also check that the battery of the PS3 controllers is left in the Bluetooth menu bar if you suspect that the battery is low.
If you plan on using a gamepad style controller, please connect it to your game before starting the game. Use your operating systems Human Input Device (HID) configuration settings so that the left stick controls thrust (up and down on the left stick) and yaw (left and right on the left stick). The right stick should control pitch (up and down on the right stick) and roll (left and right on the right stick).
For Windows you will need special software to be use your PS3 controller. Please try one of the following packages below:MotioninJoy - PS3 Controller Driver for WindowsBetter DS3 - PS3 Controller Driver for Windows
If you already own an RC transmitter, you may be able to use its USB connectivity feature to use it as your DRL FPV Simulator controller. This configuration offers the most realistic FPV experience since you can train your FPV skills on the same controller hardware that you would use in the real world. An example of a common RC Transmitter which we have tested to work with the DRL FPV Simulator is the FrSKY Taranis X9D.
Of the game controllers available for home computers, only a few are officially supported on the Mac, but you can often get others, like those for the PS3, Wii, or Xbox, working just fine. To use any of these controllers with your system, you will first need to connect it to your system physically, and then install a driver package to make use of the controller's inputs.
For factory-supported devices like the Logitech F310 Gamepad and the Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad, drivers are available from their manufacturers; however, for unsupported devices like Wii Remote, PS3, and Xbox controllers, you will have to use a third-party driver package.
The easiest of these unsupported remotes to configure is likely the Xbox controller, which can be (physically) connected directly via USB or with a relatively cheap receiver for wireless Xbox controllers. If you have a PS3 controller, you'll need to follow a quick procedure to establish a connection to your Mac. First, connect the controller to your Mac, and then open the Bluetooth system preferences and make sure Bluetooth is both on and discoverable. Next, hold the PS button on the controller for a few seconds, then unplug the USB cable, and the controller should appear in the Bluetooth system preferences and be available for use in a number of games and programs. A Wii Remote can also be connected via Bluetooth.
Once the gaming controller is connected, you can use one of several software driver packages to configure its inputs. The first is Joystick Mapper, with which you should be able to configure most gaming controllers. The second is the Tattiebogle driver for Xbox controllers, which should work for both wired and wireless (using the receiver noted above) controllers.
For Wii users, the program DarwiinRemote and the Wjoy driver should allow you to crudely connect and configure the motion-sensitive Wii Remote, but if you have trouble establishing a connection using these drivers in OS X 10.8, then you can try a test build of DarwiinRemote that should work in the latest version of OS X.
A final couple of driver options for these controllers are GamePad Companion, which is available in the Apple App Store, and USB Overdrive, which has been a long-standing option for configuring USB input devices on the Mac platform. These last tools are useful especially if you have a controller that only has driver support for Windows. When connected to the Mac, the button inputs will be registered, and universal drivers like USB Overdrive should be able to recognize them and allow you to assign global or application-specific settings to them.
I tried to connect my xbox controller to my MacBook, even though the controller is registered in bluetooth setting, but it doesn't function at all.Have anyone met the same problem and if there's a fix for this problem 2ff7e9595c
