A wired PS3 DualShock 3/Sixaxis Controller can be used natively with supported devices without rooting or pairing. All you need is a device that has USB-Host support, and a connection cable (USB-OTG cable is required for devices that do not have a built-in USB Host port). It will save you the hassle of pairing the controller when switching between devices and eliminate the need to root.
With the controller enabled you can use it with games and mapping tools that support native controllers.

Common Problem
- Incorrect or incompatible cables are the number one reason for failure; if the app cannot detect the controller, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
- A common problem is insufficient power provided by the device, in which case a powered USB hub is needed.
- Last but not least, incompatibility arises from a lack of Sixaxis support in Firmware. In this case, only the device manufacturer can resolve the issue via Firmware update.
Troubleshooting Tips - General
- Ensure your PS3 controller works with the USB cable. When plugged into a PC, Windows should detect and add it as a new gamepad, although buttons will not work.
- Ensure your OTG cable works with your device by testing with a USB keyboard/mouse
- Ensure that any nearby PS3 (or other devices you have paired with the controller) is off, otherwise, the controller may try to connect to those devices through Bluetooth.
- Other apps that work with the PS3 controller directly may need to be uninstalled if you have ever installed them.
