The first time I did it, I had to attempt connection twice. You're done with the first-time configuration and you can remove the cable and use the PS button to connect via bluetooth.I struggled for hours with the option here that mentions Steam. Select the controller on the left-hand side list to display details and options, and under 'HID device mode', select DS4Windows.The controller should now appear listed in the program (left-hand pane), indicating that it has been detected. Plug your PS3 controller via a USB cable.Now, to get the controllers detected wirelessly, launch DSHMC.exe (as Admin), which is among the files extracted from the DsHidMini zip.Step 2: first-time controller connection and setup

* In the DsHidMini files, go to the ењ†4 folder (for 64 bit PCs) or x86 folder (for 32 bit), subfolder 'dshidmini' and right-click on each setup information file (dshidmini.inf and igfilter.inf) and select 'install'. You'll use this whenever you need to set up a new DS3 controller. Extract all files from the zip file, and save them in a folder that you'll remember. See the FAQ at the DsHidMini page if you still have errors ( )

If you get an error, make sure that your bluetooth is on before launching the installer.

Below my own quick summary, you can try my steps first, and refer to the full guide if anything fails Step 1: installation of required programs and driversДЇull and updated instructions here. The method below works much more generally and conveniently than anything else I've tried. I also got decent results at some point with x360ce, but it takes a lot more effort to set up and does not allow rumble effects. my advice, based on experience and advice I got from others, is to completely forget about Steam controller setup - don't even touch it. Just to get this out of the way: Steam is apparently supposed to support Dual Shock 3 natively, but in my experience, everything around controller support and configuration in Steam is absolute crap. The cable is needed whenever you want to connect a DS3 controller to your PC *for the first time*, or re-connect it to the PC after you've connected it to your PS3.

To set things up, you will need a USB cable of the kind that's needed to connect the controller to your PS3.

This is the program that you will need to launch and keep open everytime you want to use your PS3 controller. This allows universal controller support in your games. * DS4Windows is the program that makes Windows believe that your PS3 controller is an XBox controller. You'll likely use this program from time to time, but not too often. * DsHidMini is the program that you'll need whenever you need to set up a new PS3 controller for the first time. * BthPS3 is just for Bluetooth support and you can forget about it once installed. The full instructions below might seem confusing and overwhelming, but this is all you'll need to remember once you're done:

Controller can be switched off by holding L1+R1+PS button.

6 on BT is a Windows limitation apprently

Apparently, you can connect up to 8 controllers.

To connect your DS3 controller, you will need to have DS4Windows open.

Even the rumble effects work perfectly in games that have such effects.

Dual Shock 3 will be recognized in Steam and non-Steam games, and mapping of buttons should work as expected.

You will be able to connect wirelessly your Dual shock 3 controllers to your PC by pressing the PS button, via Bluetooth.

Thanks a ton to the excellent people who developed all of these and the great effort they make to support others set it up. Below, you'll find links to the original sources, which contain detailed guides, as well as my own quick guide to set things up. After wasting quite some time going through outdated guides in Reddit and elsewhere, I finally found a method that gives excellent results and is convenient to use.
