Yup it's natural, kind of annoying but still natural.

Maybe the lights flash because it is charging, dunno.
Worked just fine for me in Vista (32-bit), tried and worked in RPG Maker XP and in ZSNES.
Don't have any real games to try it with yet, but I'll report back if it doesn't work with anything.

I'm giving up on the usb driver...

...and trying bluetooth instead. I would imagine that the PS3 itselt has the bluetooth driver for the controller inside its hardrive, right? Somebody should take out the hardrive and hook it up to their pc...and see what's inside.

I would, had I the funds to replace the PS3 once I screw it up...somebody with a replacement probably?

This works great on Project 64. I am supplying u with a configuration with the controller that I like very much but isn't the perfect way but the best way i can make it.
Square is B. X is A. Triangle is UP-C. O is Down-C. L2 is Left-C. R2 is Right-C. DPad is DPad. Analog is analog. Z is L3.
That is the best way that i could make it that made sense. If someone can get the right analog to work as the C buttons, please post it.

I've only got 12 buttons that it shows. Does this vary from CPU to CPU because my bro's computer has a different amount also...

K, had the same problem, and this is what I did:
Plug the controller in, press PS button let Windows recognize it, etc.
Goto Device Manager and locate the controller under Human Interface Devices (I think), right click and uninstall.
Run the ps3 sixaxis util provided in this thread
In device manager right click on your computer name and click on scan for changes

This should pick up the controller again and you should be able to use the buttons
(well this worked for me anyway)

Worked for me too.

After doing this will the PS3 controller still work with the PS3? or will it be stuck to windows only?

K so i followed the initial steps givin, and it just keeps flashing the 4 lights indicating that its charging, and yet Windows has detected that its on there and running. Help Please
