Can I use this to connect a PS3 dual shock controller to a laptop/pc/mac for gaming purposes?

I don't have information on DualShock 3, but I use it with my DualShock 4 on PC. I think it should work with DualShock 3 as well.

If you have a Bluetooth game controller I can not see any reason why it would not work. It is a device that simply gives a computer or laptop a Bluetooth capability if it does not have one already.

Yes you can but you will experience feedback issues, its not worth it. Just go with the usb set up, plugging it into the controller is more of an xbox thing.

I don't think it will. I bought one to connect a PS/2 keyboard and it won't work. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be used. May be worth a try, since it's not that expensive.

It should work based on the fact that the universal adapter comes with a disk that will install the necessary drivers for your computer to recognize the specific controller you are trying to use. I own one and it works just fine with my pc games. You can go on youtube and search "may flash universal adapter" and find the video describing the features of the device.

No it doesn't have the right wire to do that.. This unit has a special USB to USB connection that fits into a ps3 controller and the other end fits a micro usb

Yes that is correct. Be aware though that for some reason it may make your connection a little finicky dependent upon the device. For example USB drives may get weird errors, but a game pad controller will work fine. I am uncertain as to why that is.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, but please note that controller may not be compatible with all PS3 games.

This WILL work on PC pretty easily, but be weary of the actual input - it's easy to "jam" it into the controller, causing the actual micro USB slot to be recessed into the controller, meaning after only a few plugs/unplugs, it can stop functioning for PC use.

I don't believe it may fully wotk out of box but a quick search yields this thread which may be worth a read:http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/Gamepad-f310-Mac-Compatibility-how-to-install-on-a-Mac/td-p/529274Some folks seem to have workarounds but a Mac might not read the X-input format, only traditional direct input. In other words you may be able to use the controller in one mode but not the other.

No - this is for attaching music devices. Try this instead: http://www.amazon.com/PS2-Keyboard-To-USB-Adapter/dp/B000BSJFJS/

Yes. That's the main thing I do with this adapter. Just be sure to press the analog button on the controller for it to work properly. Also, the controller may not work by default in newer games due to the way they are programmed. Using a program called x360ce can allow it to work in those games as well.

Sorry Brian I'm not pc gamer. I don't think it would work well because of short cord. sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer.

Yes. Definitely because it's made for laptops but i used it for my Playstation. It should work.

The answer would be yes. As long your laptop has a VGA or DVI input. If not you can find someing you could hook your game console through USB. EX. GSI - 3 RCA To USB Cable for $2.95 on Amazon
