AFTERGLOW CONTROLLER SOFTWARE FOR PC PS3

If that doesn't work good enough then maybe go back to the third party programs which try to emulate an Xbox controller with it or whatever. Turn off the motors to stop vibration mode completely. Adjust and save vibration strength and adjust the rumble strength for your entire Afterglow Prismatic Controller. Instead once linked up I'd enter Big picture mode in Steam and then visit the settings / controller configuration and see if it was found there preferably as a Playstation 3 controller but if not that then as anything and go from there. The Afterglow Configuration App allows you to cycle through the rainbow, select your favorite color, or set the controller to brilliant white lighting. I wouldn't use Better DS3 or anything such since Steam has built in support (which may be worse) and maybe the reason your controller isn't found by Better DS3 is that it have some sort of ID it provides which doesn't match with a DS3 controller and as such Better DS3 doesn't do anything with it because it don't want to do things with other controllers? Once they are linked up if it wasn't a third party controller then we'd know it work in Steam as a DS3 controller (I think?) but Steam also support generic controllers so I guess it would had worked anyway too.

The dongle is bluetooth and DS3/PS3 controllers use bluetooth? If so run whatever the bluetooth thingy is in Windows and make sure they are paired up (I don't really know how it work on the controller but pressing the home/share/PS/whatever button and maybe holding it or something such while searching for bluetooth devices in Windows.)

It'll be way easier to remember those on a controller (even a different one) than mouse and keyboard. I hope someone can help with this! I really need it so I can finally play Dark Souls 2, since the SotFS version doesn't allow for texture editing, which means I'm stuck with the default Xbox button prompts. That same port is no longer making that happen. My previous attempt at this, several days ago, one port I tried the dongle in made the controller vibrate endlessly after I'd installed the suggested things. The Windows thing for detecting and calibrating controllers isn't seeing it either, with the controller itself also plugged into the computer or not. But when I run Better DS3 (which is the other place I guess I could turn to for support), it doesn't show any connected controllers. At this point, whether some of the things I've tried have stuck or not, I plug the dongle in, Windows (8.1) makes the appropriate noise, Device Manager refreshes and shows 'libusbK USB Devices' and under that 'Wireless Controller for PS3'.
