Getting PS3 controller to work on PC

[KNiVES]

I just realized that the PS3 controllers come with a little USB cable that I can plug into the PC - so surely there must be ways of using it on the PC? I've seen very little on the subject, does anyone know if it's actually feasible? Would like to try it with racing and FPS games

1. Download and install the filter driver (libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe). (attached zip)
2. Unpack ps3sixaxis_en.exe
3. Plug the SIXAXIS into your PC.
4. Run ps3sixaxis_en.exe once.
5. Push the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if it doesnt see it straight away.

BTW: I've not used it, just had a quick google

That's what I've found but it doesn't work with Vista x64.

In control panel, the PC can see the controller but it doesn't respond to calibration attempts

I tried the same thing.

Never got it going in x64, so got the XBOX360 controller instead.
If you do have success, please post back here
