The '''DualShock 3''' is the standard controller for the #REDIRECT[[PlayStation 3 emulators|PlayStation 3]]. It was originally intended to launch with the console, but [[wikipedia:Immersion v. Sony|a lawsuit by Immersion in 2002]] meant they were unable to include the controller's namesake feature, force feedback, until the case was over. As a stopgap, Sony announced the '''Sixaxis''' instead, claiming at E3 2006 that force feedback would have interfered with the gyro sensors. With the eventual release of the DualShock 3 in 2008, due to Sony's loss in court and eventual deal for the patent, we now know that this was incorrect. Aside from gyro support, the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 offer the following features over DualShock 2:*A very good D-pad*10-bit precision analog sticks, and pressure sensitive buttons*Wireless connectivity using Bluetooth*Wired connectivity through a Mini B-type USB connector ==Windows==Use [https://docs.nefarius.at/projects/DsHidMini/ DsHidMini]. For wireless functionality, see [https://github.com/ViGEm/BthPS3 BthPS3]. Sony's official driver for the controller, <code>sixaxis.sys</code>, was only released for the PlayStation Now service. If you have it installed, you may need to follow [https://vigem.org/projects/DsHidMini/SIXAXIS.SYS-to-DsHidMini-Guide/ this guide] to remove it. For Windows 7 and 8, see [[SCP Driver Package]]. ==Linux==Modern Linux kernels and Distros include support for Dualshock 3 controllers without any need to download additional programs. ==External links==[https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Controller:DualShock_controllers#DualShock_3 PCGamingWiki: DualShock 3] [[Category:Controllers]]
