      Do I need to plug my ps3 remote in every time I want to sync it with my Bluetooth dongle?

        Do you have the driver set in your config file?

              Perhaps, but first connect to your pi via your browser (type in it's ip, 192.168.1.***) and go to the config page
              scroll down to PS3 controller and make sure it's enabled with the correct driver. Also make sure xbox pads are disabled. Then try doing the manual connect via putty

                  Looks fine. You might want to check that your bluetooth dongle is compatible using the compatibility list.

                      interesting topic,
                      i found out that the "plug and play" bluetooth dongle works well, when ever i do a reboot of my Pi, I just have to pair it ( pressing the hotkey button)..
                      what google cant provide me tho is that i now have to link a second wireless Ps3 controller.
                      what do i do?. do i unplug my first controller blue tooth first,
                      is it best to rather get a wired controller??

                      HELP

                      thanks

                        @linuxxx82 I just plugged my second one in once the Bluetooth picked up the first controller and it seems once one is picked up the other one it good to go. but yeah try just plugging it in after you get one recognized

                          @linuxxx82 So far the easiest remote to set up has been the xbox360 remotes with the wireless PC dongle
