Grab your PS4 controller and a USB cable. Plug the USB cable into both the controller and the PS3, then just hit the PS button. You're good to go!

Bro, you just need a USB cable. Connect the PS4 controller to the PS3, hit the PS button, and boom!

Honestly, I don't recommend using a PS4 controller on a PS3. It works, but not all features like rumble and Sixaxis will function properly. I'd stick with the original PS3 controller.

When 'Wireless Controller' pops up on the screen, click it and you're all set!
