  • Malware: Is known to load sh.com, a Chinese schooling website, in your browser when you open the included application, DS3 Tool (required to use the controller)
  • Must open DS3 Tool every time you plug your controller in
  • Must select a profile each time
  • Updated very infrequently

Un-Installation instructions

Firstly uninstall it through Control Panel.

Next open Command and type this:

pnputil.exe -e

Find MotioninJoy in the list that comes up and type:

pnputil.exe -d Oem#.inf

Replace the # with MotioninJoy's number. If you had problems with Bluetooth devices after installing MiJ you should now reinstall your original bluetooth drivers.

Alternatives

SCP Xinput Wrapper is an open-source driver which allows for the DS3 to natively work on Microsoft Windows. There are two versions currently available:

  • XInput Wrapper
  • Bluetooth (Beta)

XInput Wrapper is currently the recommended version to use.
