Mac Os X Playstation 3 Controller Driver

I know there is a driver for the playstation 3 controller included in the more recent versions of OS X(I have Lion). When I plug the controller into my computer using the USB cord (don't want to mess with bluetooth if I don't have to) I can see the controller listed as 'PLAYSTATION 3 CONTROLLER' (or some such) in my system profile under 'About This Mac.'


I am trying to use the controller to play Psychonauts (the Steam version). I have checked the steam and double play forums for help, but couldn't find anything there, so I thought I would ask here.

I bought a similar device from Lik-Sang in 1999 - I can also recommend them - Mine also has an N64 controller port (perfect for those N64 Emulators)

Be careful! I bought a pair of PS-PC USB Converters from Lik-Sang a few months ago, and they weren't recognized by the Mac at all. As in, they didn't even show up in System Profiler as attached USB devices. Other people have had success with these... but I didn't.

Lots of these adapters are cheaply made and not always compatible, sometimes they'll only work with PS2 controllers and not PS1 (or vice-versa) or they won't work with dance pads, and sometimes the seller won't take returns if they don't work. Buyer beware!

In particular, I'm suspicious of the FAQ for the PS Joy Converter, which says that it works under Mac OS X but not under Mac OS 9. If it's HID-compliant, wouldn't it work with either? Does it need drivers, or something?

Radio Shack also sells a convenient PS->USB adapter, which I use with Gamepad Companion all the time. It's just $10, and you don't have to pay shipping.

The RadioShack USB adapter is great. Fairly well built, works under OS9 and OSX using the generic HID drivers. Decently built and only $10 to boot! I've used two of them with both an old standard playstation controller (no vibrate/sticks) and a newer dual shock controller. Niether has had a problem.
SNES9X and CHRONO TRIGGER ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Hey, what can I say, I never evolved past the 14yr old stage of life.

XBOX users may want to check out the SuperJoy Box 10 which allows you to hookup 2 controllers simultaneously.

Anyone tried this with a dance pad and StepMania [StepMania.com]?

Does it work properly when you have to hit 2 buttons at the same time?

Actually, quite a few of the adapters on Lik-sang don't mention mac compatibility unless you look in the read me. Several adapters that are dance pad compatible can be found there. To find out if it is compatible you can look at http://www.stepmania.com/stepmania/adapter.php

May not be the most effective place to ask this question, but I haven't yet purchased a resgistration number for either of these (and the Companion's grace period is just about to expire).
What are the pros and cons of each? At this point, I only have a used USB Gravis GamePad, but I would like to connect two controllers (PS?) so my kids can play two player games.
