[Pugsta]

I plugged in a PS3 Controller on a Windows 7 to play Lag Warfare with my 2 friends.

The 1 2 3 4 things beeped, that means otherwise its not Plugged in or it doesn't have Batteries.

What App should i download? People download these. But i dont want to!

Playing with an XBOX controller FOR Windows is pretty easier imho.

No need to download third-party softwares to correctly configure the controller on your choice.

Games automatically detect the controller and you can just set custom controls in-game

Well that game only Supported XBox, but 3 Player appeared. Still the Controller didn't work.

Why would use a PS3 controller for a PC, a gamepad for a PC can be bought for as little as $15

Well, you have two choices, SCPToolkit or MotionInJoy, I personally use the former, due to its stability.

Both require either a bluetooth dongle, or enough USB ports for all players to play wired. A backup of your USB Drivers is, as usual, recommended. I believe each of these has their instruction on the page. If not, I can try to sum it up here. Just lemme know if you need any help!

Oh, and if you're going to use MotionInJoy, use this tool after installing to make it simpler.
