PS3 Controller Config/Tutorial for GE:S
Sadly unlike other game controllers, the PS3 controller isn't plug and play. It takes some special drivers/software. This is my experience and what I found to be the easiest method of getting a PS3 controller(sixaaxis or Dualshock 3) working on GE:S(or any source game really).
First what you need:
-PS3 Controller (sixaaxis or Dualshock 3)
-USB controller charge cable
-
MotioninJoy Dualshock 3 SofwareOk, lets get this process started:
- Download/Install above software
- Open the software and if your controller isn't plugged in, do that.
- Software should open to this page, with controller plugged in, click "Load Driver"
- Should run through the process and install drivers(might prompt to install certificate, agree) This process might take a minute or two. End should look similar to above.
4. Suggest restarting your computer
5. On the main Profiles Tab, select the XBox 360 Controller Emulator
6. This should play the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and should show installing new device. If don't notice this, can unplug and re-plug in controller.
This should be all you need to do to get your PS3 drivers installed and ready to configure. Try hitting the "Game Controller Panel" button that's at the bottom of screen. Then click properties and test that your controller works and reads correctly(this is also where you can find out your button layout numbers for making custom config files).
Now when you open GE:S, open console and type:
exec 360controller_sharedThis should get you playable with controller. Now since GE:S isn't fully controller friendly you will still need a mouse to select team and such menu items.
This is my personal config setup that can use if want:

Can overwrite you other config here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource\cfg\360controller_shared.cfg
Now Hopefully you should be ready to play GE:S with a PS3 controller.
