Solution works for Sierra / Hight Sierra

Not guaranteed work on Mojave or Catalina

You are happy owner of macbook with new os and dream to play favorite new games via Steam or old-school via emulators... And in one day you checked Amazon and WOW - PS gamepad copy only for 12$?! Awesome! "Shut up and take my money!"© You aren't stupid and googled first, that macOS supports ps gamepads from scratch - Double-Awesome!

And here is that day - you opened gamepad box and followed instruction https://theultralinx.com/2014/02/connect-playstation-3-controller-mac-os-mavericks/ or http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/28/connect-playstation-3-controller-mac-os-x/ But... NOTHINK WORKS!!! Oh my god! Is your controller is a fake?! PATIENCE!

OS: mac OS Sierra / Hight Sierra Controller: DualShock 3 PANHAI Controller statuses:

• fast blinking - connecting
• slow blinking - connected
• no lights - off

Steps:

1. macOS - open Bluetooth settings and turn on bluetooth (also check 'Show in menu bar' for convenience

2. Connect controller via USB. It shoul appear in BT devices list as new with id - XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX or with name - PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller-PANHAI

3. Disconnect controller from USB. It start fast blinks and can be displayed as connected but will disconnect after some time There is a small chance, that after completion instruction your computer will ask passcode for BT connect to gamepad. In this case try to repeat steps but skip #3 - disconnecting from USB (solution from @andreshg112 https://gist.github.com/OlesenkoViktor/32c700e025bf4567db8feb1ed467f8ee#gistcomment-3307807)

4. Remember device id in format (you can check it if pressed Control+Click on device in BT list)

5. Disable BT and close BT settings window

6. Go to '/Library/Preferences/' (can use Go-To-Folder (Command+Shifg+G) option in Finder) and find the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file. Copy it to desktop (or anywhere you want)

7. Open copied file. Go to DeviceCache section - https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1709766/2951890/bb548d14-da2f-11e3-8831-a7c466962fa9.png

• 'LastServiceUpdate' with 'Date' type and content: current date

• also find 'ClassOfDevice' and change it's value to 1,288 (This valu automatically was changed by system for me and I don't check if this is required) Result - https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1709766/2951891/c4d6befc-da2f-11e3-83fa-cc52ce2249dc.png

9. Save file and move it to '/Library/Preferences' with replacement

10. Go to '~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/' and look for 'com.apple.Bluetooth.XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.plist' file and delete it (You can make a backup copy if want, but this file recreated by system at start, for me)

11. Open 'Terminal' app and paste next command 'defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist'. Hit Return/Enter to execute command (caching new file)

12. Reboot your macbook

13. Turn On BT from menu bar and press P3 button on gamepad. BT icon should be change on new (with dots) and gamepad should blink slowly after few seconds (after connect)

14. If is that - congratulations! You have succesfully connected your new gamepad with your notebook. No additional system configs required (Only in-app binding for some specific cases)

If you have other Chinese gamepad - you also can check this flow. If it doesn't help - please check original thread - OpenEmu/OpenEmu#1041

P.S. This is short single-page of @MrRocketman and @nickmodernized solution. Thank you guys for your research and results. I copied your images, bcs don't have enought time for duplicating Here is links to original texts:

I'm now 100% certain and absolutely confident that I followed these instructions correctly, especially after identifying the one ridiculous hangup getting in my way. I did not miss or skip a step. Yet still this controller does not want to pair; it does pair for the few seconds that the lights are flashing, that is and until they stop flashing. I believe I now understand what you mean by the object content... A lot of content was missing. So, you mean the fact that there was a whole bunch of missing rows (VendorID, Name, MLPSubversion, and so on). That was remedied after I reset the controller and removed it and re-did the pairing process. Then after all that, all I needed to do was edit the information as outlined in the instructions above. Yet even after doing that, it still will not pair via Bluetooth.

Is it the controller, or my operating system/MAC? The controller is remarkably identical to an actual PS3 Six Axis DualShock 3 Controller; in fact I was very angry at the eBay seller for not telling me they are selling stolen unlicensed patented counterfeit technology, but I digress. You can barely tell it's not a PS3 controller. It doesn't say P3 like some of the other controllers on eBay did, the box is pretty convincing too.

My MAC is a late 2012 Mac Mini i5 2.5GHz Dual Core running 10.15.6. It has two internal 1TB Hybrid SSD HD. One has OSX, the other has Windows 10, and it has 16GB of RAM. It didn't come with this much ram or two built-in hard drives, I upgraded this system myself.

Is it the computer, is it the controller? Did China make a change in manufacturing? Did Apple change something? Thoughts please.

I'm now 100% certain and absolutely confident that I followed these instructions correctly ...

It can be the controller. Which name is displayed for it in Bluetooth settings?

Here is how it shows up, and I've identified the correct DeviceID or MAC address if you will.

Address is unique and won't help me a lot. But it covers device name and I can't see it clearly 😅
Looks like "PANHAI" one, yes?

Yes. It is PANHAI.

Try to disconnect all connected BT devices. Previously we had a case when mac disconnect controller bcs it wants to use some other device
If no - I'm afraid I can't help you 😔
Try to check this thread OpenEmu/OpenEmu#1041. Maybe you will find some ideas or tricks which will work.

By the way, does it work with wire connected?

Following the Steps precisely, I got it working on MacOS Catalina.

Awesome. Glad to hear that 👍

It works like a charm. However, if you are having trouble, even if it has connected, to make it works properly with Steam games, here is a tutorial of what to do:

• Find your installation of the game - this is usually in the main Applications folder (if using a Steam version the application can be found by Right Clicking game in Steam Library, then selecting Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files).
• Right click the game's application icon and choose 'Show Package Contents' from the dropdown menu.
• Open the Contents folder, then the Resources folder and finally Input Devices.
• Open the AnalogTriggers folder and delete the 'PS3Dualshock.plist' file by dragging it to the Trash.
• Drag the attached .plist file into the AnalogTriggers folder (you may be asked to Authenticate using your username and password, please do so).
• Now, go to the Digital folder and delete the 'PS3Dualshock_Digital.plist' file by dragging it to the Trash.
• Close the Finder window and restart game

Hello, I am new to this community. I am using Mac mini with Big Sur, and PS3 issues still bothers me since Catalina. I love playing Feral games such as Batman Arkham City, but R2 and L2 do not work(otherwise it works perfect). Could someone give me some advice?

Hello all and thanks for you effort.
Any new for Big Sur??

@diphone-net @NaoGitOne Hey, i also had the same issue.
I fixed it by modifying the plist file like this:

	<!-- Generic Desktop Pointer:	25 or 49 -->
	<key>LeftTrigger</key>
	<string>0x00000019</string>
	<!-- <key>LeftTrigger</key>
	<string>0x00000031</string> -->
	<!-- Generic Desktop Pointer:	26 or 50 -->
	<key>RightTrigger</key>
	<string>0x0000001A</string>
	<!-- <key>RightTrigger</key>
	<string>0x00000032</string> -->

Commented values are those which were not working.

@getlarge, I wonder if you can fix the same L2/R2 not working (and everything else just fine) but this time under Chrome Stadia games... I am not aware of any plist files under Chrome, but if they are maybe that is the solution.

Or maybe there is something to change in the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file

To confirm that I successfully connected PS3 on MACOS Big Sur 11.2.3 I simply copied the whole plist entry from my PS3 from the Catalina to Big Sur following the other steps as in the tutorial.

How does this work with multiple controllers? Do I need to repeat the process for each controller or just once?

@Moonstompa you need to repeat step #8 for each device

I wonder if you can fix the same L2/R2 not working (and everything else just fine) but this time under Chrome Stadia games... I am not aware of any plist files under Chrome, but if they are maybe that is the solution.

Hey @meste7 were you able to make L2/R2 work for Stadia? thanks.

Hey @alfonmga , not unfortunately I could not find any way for that. I ended up buying a PS4 controller for Stadia.
