I've got a standard PS3 DualShock 3 controller that I've used in the past with MotionInJoy and BetterDS3.
Now, when I plug it into my computer via USB the only thing that happens is the 4 red lights start flashing.
Windows does not detect that anything has been plugged into the USB ports. I've tried different ports and different cables as well. Same thing.
When I plug the controller into a USB charger it doesn't charge (or at least no lights come on), but I think this is to be expected.
I've pressed the little reset button on the back with a paperclip.
Did the controller just randomly die somehow? If this is the case, can someone recommend a solid (and ideally compact for traveling) controller as a replacement? I wasn't very fond of having to hack together things like MotionInJoy just to get the controller to work. I'd like it to work just like any other native Windows USB device.
