How to Hook Up a Mad Catz Wireless Controller to a PS3

Connecting your Mad Catz wireless controller to your PlayStation 3 (PS3) is very straightforward; it will take you less than five minutes to set up. Mad Catz is a third-party hardware developer, so keep in mind Sony does not support the use of any Mad Catz products. However, the official Sony controllers are relatively expensive in comparison, so if you're looking to save some money, Mad Catz alternatives are certainly an option you can take.
