Any way to hook this up to laptop? I have a MadCatz TE PS3 fightstick and my laptop recognizes it as "PC USB WIRE STICK 8838" but no inputs register.

No, you can't use it for a laptop. If you search for "PC USB WIRE STICK 8838" you will find fixes in on the search engine.

How did you get it to register? I tried leaving it plugged in to my pc to see if it would just get the bluetooth signal...and i tried plugging in the dongle into the PS3. It just keeps scanning. Im using the Dinovo Edge and MX Revolution. It doesnt see either. I checked the updated on the PS3 and it says I have the latest version.

I'm testing it out right now, it was recognized after a reboot in emulationstation. The usb was just recognized after installing the driver from retropie_setup.sh. This is on RetroPie 2.4.2

Sorry to hear it didn't work with our laptop. I'm not teach support so I really can't help you other than to say I paired this controller with two home built pc's as well as an Asus laptop and I had no problems.

You actually don't need an adapter, install a program called Motion Joy, it should be the first result when you search for ps3 controller drivers. Once you have the program load it up and it should see you have a ps3 stick in and you'll be able to play

Mine shows up as a Wireless Gamepad F710 with the switch on 'X' and a Cordless Rumblepad on 'D' when looking at game controllers. I'm using it on XP, with no driver download (auto-detected drivers) So far it has worked with all controller-compatable games in 'X' mode, though I havent seen any that differentiate wired and non-wired. I'm a PS3 gamer so this one is a bit heavier than I'm used to, but it is one heck of a nice unit.

Do you have an RS-232 plug on your PC's? If not, I don't think so. It looks like a USB plug on the SL-814......why not USB to USB to connect to PC's?

Everything but the mouse works. There are no instructions to how the mouse connects if you figure it out please let me know. The rest of the things work I love the multiple usb plugs and the hdmi wire I can hook it up to my t.v .

The website I used before apparently is down. I did however find another site that I think has the same driver. Here is the link: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Other-DRIVERS-TOOLS/Renesas/Renesas-Electronics-uPD720201-uPD720202-USB-30-Driver-30200.shtml I was digging through my files and THANKFULLY typed up a notepad document's worth of basic instructions for myself for future reference (if I ever had to reinstall for whatever reason). Here is the TITLE of the driver that I downloaded; It may help you in your search: "NEC/RENESAS USB3 Controller (uPD720201 & uPD720202) Drivers Version 3.0.23.0" Let me know if you can't find a working driver. I have the original saved to my HHD and can put it online for you if you would like! Hope all works out for you! -- Very Respectfully, ENS Craig Karduck, USN

Use an usb adapter and connect it to the usb port. You will see it as a unit on your pc.

To my knowledge, it only works to connect Wii Classic Controller style controllers to a computer via USB port. I don't make the product nor do I professionally test it. I'm mainly using it for emulation and other games I can get that will support it.

If you have it. Plug it into the rear USB port and try it. Most likely it won't be recognized by the system.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

I have my keyboard connected to the PS2 port, works fine. My mouse is a USB device.

could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google.it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work. could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it... » Read More could be a compatibility issue - most PC games with controller compatibility are set up to take on-brand xbox controllers, which have a particular kind of input. a lot of off-brand usb controllers have a different kind of input. since the game is set up to only recognize one kind of input, it wont recognize the off-brand controller as a controller at all. x360ce is a controller emulator program you can use to solve this problem. it switches the input so that the game recognizes the controller as a controller. i used it and it worked - you can find the program and tutorials on how to use it with google.it could also be because the controller isnt very good and just doesnt work. « Show Less

i solved this problem once by updating the PS2 drivers on an old NT machine but it was not a trivial task. i suspect that it would be far simpler for you to just get a new PS2 keyboard. as you probably already know, this problem is just the tip of the iceberg for an old computer with no USB ports. time to find $400 for a modern machine.
