tips: use your PS3 dualshock sixaxis controller on your Mac

i was looking for a decent game pad to play some Mac games. to be exact, i wanted to play the action/puzzle game LEGO Indiana Jones. my requirements was simple, it must be functional and it must be stylish. before i could find my ideal game pad, i stumbled upon something more interesting: using your PS3 dualshock sixaxis controller on your Mac. i am currently on Snow Leopard, and all i have to do...to get my PS3 controller to work with my Mac is to install the PS3 USB driver and i am good to go. i have yet to try with other games but it does works with LEGO Indiana Jones. ain't it cool? ;)

notice the 'button 15' at the bottom right? that's a sign that the PS3 controller is working with the game :)

the game control option screen. you can customize your buttons. the only thing is, you do need to figure out what button numbers represent.
