Are there any stable PS3 controller drivers?

    I keep getting a 10D error w/ the motioninjoy drivers, so I've uninstalled them in the hopes that there is something better. I really doubt it, as google turns up nothing. So, here I am asking you guys if you've ever heard of alternatives.

    I'm really regretting not getting the 360 controller, even though the ps3 pad is far superior. I'd get that Thrustmaster, but I used to have one and it just fell apart after finishing one game, so I don't think I want to go back. Even though it was a great controller (better than ps3), aside the fact it was so cheaply constructed.

    Motioninjoy are about the best PS3 controller drivers, try a different version.

    My rig: Intel i5 2500k | 8GB 2000Mhz RAM | 2x 120GB SSD in RAID 0 | AMD HD 6970 2GB | Asus P8Z68-V LX

    Different version isn't going to help. I guess I'll just ebay it.

    Thanks.

    That's from 2006. I'm fairly certain that those drivers eventually morphed into motioninjoy.

    Thanks though. I really think the only option is to just get a 360 controller.

    I have a PS3 controller that works flawlessly since it has it's own drivers, it's aftermarket one, but still, it works!

    I had to reinstall the drivers everytime I ran motionjoy to get it to work properly.

    Its finicky, but motionjoy should work just not without hickups.

    I notice I have to re-pair bluetooth or re-enable x360 emulation a lot prior to starting game, and after I made sure it works on the menu than is good to go.
