Custom sixaxis PS3 Controller (kinda) :D

This isn't for the faint of heart, but I know there are a few around here that will find it interesting. This guy is essentially spoofing his PS3 sixaxis controller with a bluetooth dongle and an OS that has access to the lower level bluetooth hardware. I imagine he is just using linux due to the drivers and libraries available, but I see no reason that this wouldnt work with windows as well if it were developed enough.

Pretty cool stuff. To take this one step further I would like to see an embedded linux platform that has a web interface that simply allows USB connectivity for the mouse and keyboard. Once you get into this price range though, the other options from Pelican become simple enough.

Pretty cool..

Interesting. There are already mouse keyboard solutions for the PS3 (I use this: Eagle Eye), but a free well supported solution would be nice as well :). Would work for me as I moved both my PS3 and 42" LCD to my desk recently :)
