Yes, a PS3 controller can work on Steam, but you'll need to install some drivers and maybe use third-party software like SCP or MotioninJoy. It can be a bit of a hassle, but once you set it up, you're good to go!

Nah, it's a pain. Just get a PS4 or PS5 controller; the hassle isn't worth it.

I've used a PS3 controller on Steam before. It works, but you'll definitely need to do some tinkering, especially with drivers and possibly software like SCP Toolkit. It鈥檚 not as plug-and-play as newer controllers, but it鈥檚 doable!

I managed to use my PS3 controller on Steam with SCP Toolkit. It's not the easiest setup, but it works great once you get it running. Just be patient and follow the instructions carefully.
