Removed unnecessary insult. Updated/added details. People need to be aware of some issues with the SCP driver. It's the best choice for DualShock controllers, but it's not perfect.
SCP Driver Package is an open-source driver which allows for DS2 (DualShock 2), [[DualShock 3|DS3]], and [[Dual Shock 4|DS4]] to work natively on Microsoft Windows. Windows will recognize the DualShock controllers as Xbox 360 controllers.

# Connect your Dongle and DualShock controller via USB and let Windows install its default drivers.# Copy the archive to a temporary directory.# Right click on the archive and select Properties.# Click the Unblock button if it is displayed on the General tab.
# Unpack the archive.
# Create a directory where you want the Service to run from. Recommended - "C:\ScpServer". Create from an elevated command prompt if you have UAC enabled. The directory should not be created anywhere off your User directory (eg on your Desktop, or in your Downloads directory), it should also not be on a Network drive.
# Copy the contents of the ScpServer\bin to the directory you created.
# Run ScpDriver.exe.
# XP/Vista - check the Force Install option. Win 7/8 leave it unchecked.
# Click Install.
# If you do not see the install summary as per screenshot and your dongle is in the directly supported list - click Uninstall, check the Force Install option, click Install.
# Click Exit.
*Now disable all other Game Device APIs other than native if you haven't already. Background input is fine though.
*Set keyboard input to raw while you're at it. For PCSX-R's hotkeys, since Windows messaging input kills them.
*In case youYou're a little slow mentally and didn't notice, you ll still need to bind themthe controls. So switch Switch over to the Pad 1 tab to do so. ==Notes==*Installing the Bluetooth SCP driver, which lets you connect your DS3/DS4 devices to your computer wirelessly via a Bluetooth adapter, requires the adapter to be solely dedicated to the SCP service. You will not be able to use other Bluetooth devices with it until you uninstall the Bluetooth SCP driver from the adapter.*To put a DS3/DS4 to sleep, hold L1 + R1 + Home. Putting a controller to sleep will not actually fully turn it off. Its controller (player) number will remain locked at what it was, and any other controllers added to the setup will need to work around it. This is especially a pain when changing between different controller types (from a DS3 to a 360 pad, for example). The only way to fully disconnect it is to restart the SCP service, done either by manually restarting it or by restarting your computer.*The analog face buttons on the DS2 and DS3 controllers will only be recognized as digital buttons, just as they are on a 360 controller. Few PS2 games actually use this feature, but it makes these games not properly playable. Metal Gear Solid 3, for instance, uses them.*If you need DirectInput support for your DualShock controllers while using the SCP driver, you can try [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Dinput-Wrapper-for-SCP-Driver this wrapper].
