Note: If you've previously installed ScpToolkit on your system or ever used Sony's PSNow streaming service, you may have some leftover files that will interfere with DsHidMini. It's completely usable right now, but as of early 2023 has a new release on the way with even more features. The developer of ScpToolkit sunset the project in 2016, but has since followed it up with the new DsHidMini, a DualShock 3 controller driver specifically built for Windows 10 and 11.
For years the go-to solution was ScpToolkit, a free, open source tool that did the job but was a bit of a beast to setup. And if you want to play non-Steam games with the controller, you can add them to Steam with the 'Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library' menu.īut presumably you're here because you want to get those analog face buttons working. If you plug the controller in with Steam running, you can then go to Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration to customize your controls as you see fit. As noted in the intro, keep in mind that Steam has built-in support for the DualShock 3 controller.
