How do I use a PS3 controller with Ubuntu.
Best Answer
You should use sixad/QtSixA http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/ . Just install from the repo and pair with sixpair while the sixaxis is connected with usb, and then connect with Bluetooth by pressing the PS button.
I have read something about it and I think it would be better to connect PS3 controller using bluetooth directly. Take a look of this.
I have read your limitations, and I still think that you need to use bluetooth. you could Buy a Bluetooth USB dongle, they are cheap (dealextreme.com/p/…).
