I recently bought a Nyko contoroller and I don't know how to pair it with the PS3. I plugged it into an unused USB port, and turned on the PS3. Then "Press PS" showed up, but the controller didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks...

Your better off to just pay a little more and get the official Sony controller. The controller you have may not support Blu-Tooth that the Sony controller uses.

While I agree with the above response in that you should get a DualShock3, that answer doesn't help you much since you already bought the Nyko, so here's some help:

1) RTFM:

Check to make sure the USB receiver is plugged into one of the PlayStation 3's USB ports and that the red LED on the receiver is lit to confirm the receiver is powered.

Turn the controller on by pressing any button on the Zero and then press the Zero buttons on both the receiver and the Zero controller. The Zero button on the Zero Controller should turn a solid color. If after you have linked your controller to the receiver you are still having communication issues, please contact Nyko customer support.

2) RTFM again:

1-888-444-6956 between 8:30AM and 6PM, Mon-Fri Pacific Standard Time, or email customersupport@nyko.com.

I dont see why people tend to avoid the nyko zero controller I had 2 black ones and i love em. sure the d-pad is a little iffy and isnt bluetooth....but overall its a solid controller. To TC: once you insert the dongle in the unused USB port. You have to click the button on the dongle twice. When its blinking really fast press the button in the middle of the Nyko ps3 controller. Doing that will turn the controller on. From there you wont have to do it again. To turn off the controller just simply remove the dongle and let the controller turn off by it self in 30 secs.
