Ok guys so recently I have been playing a couple games I bought on steam, and there are a few that I cant help but feel would be better with a controller.(Assassins Creed, Batman AA)

so anyways, what kind of program would I need for this? Would it work if i just took my wireless ps3 controller and used the charging cord w/ the USB to plug it in to my pc? Or how would I have to do it?

Sorry if this is nooby or has been answered, im just wondering.

What exactly is it that you want me to know? Is it the fact that I did not know how to do this? Is it the fact that I did not use the search to see if someone else had asked a similar question? What is it my friend? What is your problem?

im pretty sure you cant use a sony ps3 controller on a pc, but you can buy other pc compatible controllers that has the same button layout as a ps3 controller. or you can always purchase the 360 controller that is compatible with the pc, thats wat i did and it works great. i have never played xbox so it was kinda weird at first but it definitly beats mouse and keyboard

Im not sure if a ps3 one works, but I did get an adaptor back in the day that let me use a ps2 controller on PC.

Overall though the best controller and most support on PC is the xbxo360 controller.

I believe the only gamepad that works is X360
