This would be nice. I’ve been using this Logitech controller for so long that I’m starting to go crazy. Square enclosures for the analog sticks? Come on! I know that the 360 controller has been connectable with Windows for a while now, but the SIXAXIS and Dual Shock 3 have been strictly console only — until now. An enterprising (and PS3-lovin’) hacker has made some custom drivers that let you use your favorite PS3 gamepad with your PC.

The drivers are available here, but the page is in Japanese so you should probably check with the DCEmu.co.uk forums for more info.
