Title: ps3 FightPad woreless controller PC Compatible!
Post by: huygens on July 07, 2009, 06:35:14 pm
I got one of these to try for genesis / saturn emulation and to my suprise it installed without needing any drivers installed. It's a madcatz product so reliability may be an issue. It comes with a usb dongle and in Windows 7RC it installs sans drivers and works immediately.

Yay no more cords!

neat!  I think PS3 COULD work with just about any USB HID.. but Sony probably has it locked somehow to prevent 3rd parties from making controllers .  Most PS3 controller should show up in windows as such..  I know 360 controllers do but that's probably because Microsoft is pushing the whole "Games for Windows" thing..
