Sixaxis on Windows Vista 64Bit?

Hi guys,
I really need your help!
I want to use my PS3 controller, aka my Sixaxis, on my computer.
I know there are drivers for it, but I haven't found any for Vista x64.

Can you guys help me?

Thanks!!!

Hi Guyolito,

I once bought a PS2 to USB adapter which allowed me to use my Playstation 2 controller on my PC and windows always had a driver for it. Maybe there is one like that for PS3 controllers?

Guyolito,
I have searched but could not find one. According to other forums it seems to be in high demand but the chances seem very slim to none that anyone wants to take the time to create this 64 bit driver for Vista.

Maybe you'd be better off buying a 360 controller. I know they're different to PS3, but atleast it would be a controller that works.

If you can't get the controller to work, then I would also recommend getting the Xbox 360 controller. I purchased a wired controller not long ago and it's been great with every game I've thrown at it. I've never liked the Xbox much, always been more of a Playstation guy, but the controller feels real nice in the hand (the wired controller), unlike the wireless which has that bulky battery pack that I don't like.
