Using a PS3 controller in the PC version of Far Cry 3 [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
Can I use my PS3 controller on a PC?

I have recently bought Far Cry 3 for the PC but I can't play well with the keyboard. I have a PS3 controller, so I decided to try using it with MotioninJoy's Ds3 Tool.

The problem is that the game doesn't let me play with it. Far Cry 3 has the option in the settings to use a gamepad, but it doesn't seem to pick up the PS3 controller.

Do I need to do something else? Or is it not possible to play with a PS3 controller?

You can play it with a ps3 controller, you just need some special drivers.

You can save yourself the headache and get a Logitech F-510 for F-310 (same pad, but no rumble) which is XInput compatible and looks/feels like a PS3 Controller. Any other XInput compatible GamePad works the same way.

XInput compatible means you can play all games which claim "XBOX Support" without hassle.

Have you tried mapping the buttons on the controller to keys on the keyboard- instead of using the joypad option in-game?

I'm not sure whether the drivers you are using allows different mapping, the drivers/program I use is MotioninJoy, and i can change the mapping like this:

1. Have motionjoy running

2. Have xpadder running and your keys set up

when you insert your PS3 controller, it says 'driver installing', make sure you install motionjoy its drivers, otherwise it won't work
