^^^ Same thing happening to me.

I have read every single post in this 15-pages thread and I've tried everything and my only success was to make windows recognize it and calibrate it but I try to use it with the zsnes emulator and it won't work

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but there are no lights on (they used to be but I guess it was only while it charged, I think it's done now).

Can anyone please tell me if I need to do anything else?

If it doesn't work, then I'll buy the adapter for the playstation controllers. I was going to buy it anyways because you can connect 2 controllers but until it arrives (buying it on eBay), I wanted to play with this one.

If this helps:

I've asked the same question before... seem's like no one knows...some one said they were the L3 & R3 thumb sticks but those are buttons 2 & 3. Let me know if you find out.

They only allow for the use of one controller and only work through USB and I'm not sure about motion sensing but I am pretty sure that that does not work. But don't worry I'm sure that someone will improve it so that bluetooth, motion sensing, and extra controllers will work, in the future.

@mavsman4457:
Yeah, thank you very much for your fast answer.

Let's hope these Drivers will be improved in Future and allow to use Motion Sensing and Bluetooth-Connection to play Games.
This would be really cool.

By the Way:
In a German Forum I have found persons which are saying that they play Games with the Sixaxis Controller and Motion Sensing activated!

I'll take a look there and ask them if this is really true, and if, how to do it...
If I get any Updates on what to do I'll post it here...

Interesting:
There is also Somebody who said, that playing PC Games with the Sixaxis-Technology is nice, but playing with the Wiimote is better.
This Guy has both of the Controllers and said that the Wiimote is more precise than the Sixaxis.
(Also it works over Bluetooth)

So let's see what I can get known on this, and what the Future brings. :thumbup:

There are drivers for Linux that allow you to use it through bluetooth and use the motion sensing so I am going to give those a try once I get ubuntu installed on my PS3.

Finally

Keep us posted on how well it works. Hopefully they will release the same type of drivers for XP.

Hey, I just joined and am trying to download these drivers... but I always get a 'not logged in' error when I click on attachments. Is there a restriction on new users?
