What is a PS3 controller?
In some generalized words, PS3 is a gaming console. You need to connect the console to a larger screen. And play games according to your preference.
To play the games and navigate in the console, you need a controller. And the PS3 controller plays that important role.
Without the controller, it is not possible to operate a PS3. If you enter the screen, you need to navigate. There is a navigation panel on the controller. They guide you to navigate. Also, when you are in the game, you need to control the characters. Here, the PS3 controller plays the same role.
So, I guess you are now aware of this matter.
How to use a ps3 controller on ps4?
Well. This is not a complicated matter. But at times, you may witness some difficulties. Some of the games and gaming conditions may not match your controller. This is about the compliance of hardware and software.
Also, remember that officially, the PS4 console does not support the PS3 controller. However, you can smoothly play some other games. Let’s explore how you can do that.
Step 1
Pairing the controller
This is the first step. You have to pair your PS3 controller with the PS4 console. Though officially they mismatch, you can get connected. For the pairing, you will need an adapter. The adapter will connect the PS3 controller to the PS4 console.
I am not naming any adapter as that could be branding for any product. Instead, I want my readers to research and get the most suitable one for them.
Step 2
As the next step, you have to remove all the connections [unpairing]. Attach the adapter to your PS3 controller connection head. Then insert it on the PS4 console. You need not do anything. The adapter will do everything required.
Please be noted to keep your PS4 shut before the adapter attachment. Then, turn on the PS4 console.
Go to Settings. Then, go to Devices and from there to Bluetooth devices. You have to disconnect the existing PS4 controller.
Step 3
Now, select the new adapter. You will have the name on the listing.
Also, remember that you need to download and install the software for your adapter. Otherwise, it will not work. Next, follow the other standard procedures and selection. Enable the remote control system.
Then plug your adapter into the PS4. Hopefully, it will start working.
