How to Macro With a PS3 Controller

Controller-based macros can vastly improve game-play experience for PlayStation gamers. For some, macros remove the tedium of games by automatically inputting a series of commands. For others, macros facilitate competitive game play by completing a complex command instantly, thereby enabling players to attack or react more quickly. The third-party software Teensy 2.0 allows gamers to modify their PlayStation 3 controllers to enable macros.
