If you don't have Bluetooth to pair with on PC, then I don't think it will stop turning on your ps3 because the controller needs another device to pair with. Resetting the back of the controller should do the trick, but if its not working for you, then not sure what to tell you. It's a little finicky, but if you play with it long enough you should be able to get it to work. Try unplugging your ps3 to keep the ds3 controller from attempting to pair with it, then reset the controller with while nothing is plugged in. Wait about 30 to 60 seconds and then plug the controller into the PC, but don't turn the controller back on until it plugs into PC. Also you should be using a ds3 controller driver like Scarlett's, otherwise without proper drivers, the PC won't know how to pair with the ds3 controller. I think it only works with Bluetooth though, but I could be wrong when it comes to pairing. :$
Thank you very much for the reply. I will try as you suggested and report back with the results. I am using Scarlett's driver as I'm able to use the controller perfectly with the PC when I have it plugged in. It's just when I unplug it where things get annoying on the PS3 end. I don't have a bluetooth adapter, but will have to look into getting one if this doesn't work. Any suggestions on the most compatible adapters?
