    Good, good..

    Wireless, yes it can be done, but you need Bluetooth and it takes over your adapter, so you can't do anything else with it.
    And it's very buggy.
    And it doesn't work well on Vista.

    Worked Great
    and for you jack assess out there
    jack asses Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once every time before using it meaning connect the controller then run the ps3sixaxis_en.exe file and leave the controller connected then run your game ( edit the button configurations for each game ) if you disconnect the usb from the controller you have to Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once again even after rebooting your pc

    This is the new driver that was released a few months ago
    THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE FIRST MENTIONED IN THIS POST

    Do your research. This doesn't need anything to be run.

    If you get stuck, READ THE OTHER COMMENTS!

    I got my ps3 controller working on XP 64 bit edition, by using the libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe file in this post (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1.exe screwed my comp up), and then to initialize the controller i used the file in the following link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8WRQ3O6C
    which has a read me which is easy to follow. I also had to install Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition 2008.

    IF Dell would actually have tech support that spoke English, maybe they wouldn't get dragged through the mud. I won't ever go back to Dell because of their “tech(LESS) support”. Mac rules. (And I have 2 Apple horror stories for repairs, but at least they spoke English.) All computers break down, it's a fact of life. If I have a computer problem, I want to speak to someone NOT disney acting auditions reading from cue cards with a more than rudimentary understanding of English.

    Actually, by email, they've got pretty good English.

    Peterpunk, I did try that method, however it's not compatible with Windows 7, because you can't install Visual Studio (Thinks you need XP SP2).

    However, the driver by the japanese guy works perfectly. Try it, I think it works better, even.
