The PlayStation 3 Firmware update 4.60 Has made it possible to Use your PlayStation 4 Dualshock 4 controller on a ps3 Wireless. Before this update, The only way to use it was with a wire, but now it is completely Wireless. You simply need to go to setting and set the controller up as a Bluetooth device.

The controller is still recognized as a 3rd party controller so some features including rumble and motion controls still don't work properly so consider this before you switch to the dualshock 4.

Instructions:

  • Under “Accessory Settings” on your PS3, locate and select “Manage Bluetooth Devices.”Select “Register New Device.”
  • The PS3 will begin Bluetooth scanning.
  • Simultaneously press and hold the DualShock 4′s “Share” and “PS” buttons until the controller’s light bar starts blinking.
  • The controller should appear in the PS3′s list as a “Wireless Controller.”
