    I'm a cheap bastard and not up to buying a new mouse just yet :) Son has 3 PS3 controllers, so my thought is to go the el cheapo route and use it on my pc.

    Found this guide for hooking up the controller to Win7-64bit.

    has anyone done this? have any thoughts, comments, feedback etc?

    no worries, to each there own :) as stated, I'm a cheap bastard... so, going the FREE route appeals to me..

    Been wanting to by a new mouse, head set and vid card for aseveral months now.. just cant justify spending that ~200 for all that cruft.
     
  4. He WILL be shot. lol. At least in Black Ops.
     
  5. Sorry Trice, there is no aim assist in the PC version, even if you use your sons remote.

    I'll give it a shot. I tried some drivers awhile ago, but they never worked in 64 bit.
     
  7. I used a 360 controller for the first two weeks playing Black Ops. It was harder to use but I still owned with it, mostly because other players were just bad, and I was adept at using a controller from my Halo 3 days.

    Ehhh. Ive done it in the past but god the precision for aiming is no where near a mouse. Ill take a look through my files to see if I still have the drivers I used last as so many failed to work good.

    I have done this... there is actually a video of me playing a PS2 game with it on my youtube channel.

    Is the software they are linking you to. Apparently the drivers are signed now as well which makes it a hell of a lot easier now.
     
  10. Last time I tried it was buggy. It's like a basic controller with none of the special functions.
