The next step is installing a virtual Xbox 360 Controller driver, which will trick Windows into thinking your PS3 controller is an Xbox 360 controller.

Otherwise, feel free to hit “Next” and skip this process. If you really want wireless support, you’ll need to plug in the sacrificial dongle, make sure it’s the ONLY device in the list, and then click “Initialize All Connected Devices.” The next screen is for Bluetooth support, which you may not want because it requires a dedicated Bluetooth dongle to be “sacrificed.” Rightly so, there’s a huge “WARNING” label on this screen, because installing it to a wireless mouse dongle on accident will cause you to have a very bad time. (My boyfriend is the one who installed it and used it months before we got together, and even he doesn't know how to fix this.) I tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them, and restarting, but it still didn't work. Click “Run,” and you’ll be shown a list which should now include your controller.Ĭlick the “Initialize All Connected Devices” button (don’t skip through with next button), let it install, and then click “Next.” This will configure the controller to be recognized as a PS3 controller, and install some drivers. My controller worked with Fallout 4 before, but for some reason, I can't get it to work again.

After the utility is done installing the toolkit, it will ask you to run the driver installer.

You should take this time to find your PS3 controller and plug it in with a USB cable. The installation process will take a few minutes.
