Hi everyone,
I just bought a new Bluetooth Adapter 3.0 and was working about 1 hour to get my controller working via bluetooth because Motioninjoy doesn't support it...

The thing is that many 3.0 & 4.0 bluetooth adapters are unsupported in Motioninjoy.

UPDATE - Video guide:

UPDATED: Text guide:

- First make sure you have ALL old drivers completely REMOVED!
- Insert your Bluetooth Adapter and install it with the original bluetooth software
- After the installation you need to get the MAC address from your bluetooth adapter (Bluetooth settings -> Hardware)
- Install the Sixaxis Pair Tool (DOWNLOAD HERE)
- After the installation start the Sixaxis Pair Tool and plugin your PS3 controller (It will install a driver to change the MAC address)
- After the driver installation enter your bluetooth adapter MAC address (with ":") and click UPDATE!
- Close Sixaxis Pair Tool & plug-out the PS3 controller from your PC
- If you have done this then go to your bluetooth suite and add a bluetooth device, make sure you push the PS button when searching! continue without pair codes etc. ... (Don't be irritated by the non stop flashing of the controller)
- Now install Motioninjoy (DOWNLOAD HERE)
- Do not start it after installation!
- Re-plugin your PS3 Controller
- Start Motioninjoy, go to device manager and INSTALL ALL
- The bluetooth adapter driver will now also be overwritten but it will work.
- Remove usb cable & click the PS button

If your controller won't connect more to your PC after a restart or relog then you should do this:

- Delete the "MijXinput..." folder in "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository"
- Uninstall the bluetooth adapter under "Microsoft Common Controller..."
- Install the bluetooth adapter with the original bluetooth driver
- Press the PS Button and the controller should be connected again

If you have followed these steps then you should be able to have a working bluetooth connection with your PS3 controller.

Thanks @GregoryRasputin

Just forgot to mention that it should be possible to connect any other PS3 controller after this steps, you just need to redo this:

- Open Sixaxis Pair Tool
- Connect new PS3 Controller
- Enter Bluetooth Adapter MAC address and click UPDATE
- Re-plugin PS3 Controller and start Motioninjoy and load driver (If Windows doesn't install driver automatically)
- Remove usb cable

You mean I can buy any bluebooth dongle ? I saw one at bestbuy for cheaper.

You should buy one with Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR or BETTER to get it work. (Current standard is 4.0)
If you have a compatible adapter it will work without this guide

Good to know! Recently one of my cats decided that my BT2.1 USB adapter would make for a nice toy. Since I like to play emulated Wii games on my PC controlled by all my Wii controllers I headed to the store to buy a v3.0 adapter (after reading 3.0 was the latest on Wikipedia). When I got there they were sold out, so I ended up getting a much smaller and more likely of a target to play with BT2.1 adapter. Since then I've heard about compatibility issues between the backwards compatibility of BT3.0 adapters with older devices. So it's good to know the next time my cat decides to eat my 2.1 that I can still use a new 3.0 with MotionJoy.

Thanks for sharing.

is 3.0 or higher better ? How do I know that my computer is compatibility to 3.0 or higher ? My computer desktop is few years old.

Yes it is, you can read all changes here:

A Bluetooth Adapter needs only a USB 2.0 port or higher on your PC, there's no compatibility limit.

Thank you.. and you also need edr as well, correct ? Can I get it without edr ?

EDR is just a speed pusher for old bluetooth devices, on newer adapters with bluetooth 3.0 or newer you don't need this.
Mine works without EDR.
