once download, connect your PS3 controller, install the driver, then go to control panel and click on Game Controllers, check to see that it is in the list, click properties and then play with the buttons to make sure it is all working.
NOTE: u might need to press the playstaion button on the controller first.

xbox would be a better choice seeing that it is microsoft. But i dont really wanna buy a controller. So if your gonna buy 1 charlie buy the xbox 1 but for those who dont wanna buy and own the ps3 then they can just get that driver and save money.

Yeah i use to use the eyetoy as a webcam a few years back for shit and giggles, i would go for the xbox 360 controller since its supported by microsoft, but if you buy the wireless one then you have to buy the toggle to allow the computer to connect with the controller. I dunno how hard they are to get in Aussie but me and my bro try to buy one from multiple shops here in NZ and it was a epic fail of major proportion, thx Micrococks you wasted my time

ive got a generic bluetooth toggle/dongle/reciever-transmitter whatever the fuck you want to call it, and it was cheap as chips. dicksmiths or officeworks or something i forget, but im sure there'd be even cheaper ones from MSY or some place
if you buy an xbox 360 controller FOR WINDOWS and not one for the 360, which microsoft does specifically sell, you shouldnt need to get anything else.
