Better DS3 is an equivalent DS3 Tool which allows you to configure a PS DualShock controller to use on a PC. Unlike the DS3 Tool, this tool is used offline and offers an interface that's much less overloaded and ad-free.

Play with a PlayStation controller on your PC

To play and set up a PlayStation controller on a PC, it's not as easy as it is with an Xbox joystick. You need the drivers and software to configure the buttons. To do this, we used to use the DS3 Tool, but now there's Better DS3.

Better DS3 uses the MotioninJoy driver (originally DS3 Tool) to allow configuration of PS controllers. With Better DS3, you can create profiles and configure all the buttons on your controller. It also offers some interesting options such as displaying the battery status and automatic disconnection of the controller after a certain period of time.

A more ergonomic interface than DS3 Tool

The most interesting aspect of Better DS3 is that it offers an interface that's much simpler and easier to understand than that of the DS3 Tool interface. Better DS3 also requires no installation. You can customize the buttons on your PlayStation controller smoothly and quickly without having to look them up like you do with the DS3 Tool.

MotioninJoy driver required

Better DS3 helps you enormously with the configuration of your PlayStation controller. The only complaint we have is that it requires you to install the MotioninJoy driver separately; the driver that comes with DS3 Tool. This means that you still need to install the DS3 Tool from MotioninJoy first, but once the installation is complete, you can enjoy the DS3 Better interface, which is much more convenient and pleasant to use.
