Want to connect your old PlayStation 3 controller to your Windows PC in 2026? This guide walks you through the complete process using the right tools and drivers so you can enjoy smooth gameplay even on modern systems.
In this video, we cover how to properly set up a PS3 controller using **DsHidMini**, **BthPS3**, and **DS4Windows**. Since the DualShock 3 isn’t natively supported on Windows, we use emulation to make it behave like a modern Xbox controller — allowing it to work with most PC games.

• How to install and configure DsHidMini driver
• How to enable Bluetooth support using BthPS3
• How DS4Windows emulates your controller for compatibility
• Best settings for stable performance

• ❌ Motion controls not supported
• ❌ Pressure-sensitive buttons not available
