Revision history [back]

I don't believe there is an official wired PS3 controller, see the complaints here: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3/I-am-extremely-angry-at-Sony-no-wired-controllers/td-p/30842367

ROS does support PS3 controllers over bluetooth: http://wiki.ros.org/ps3joy/Tutorials/PairingJoystickAndBluetoothDongle

See here for turtlebot's example launch file: https://github.com/turtlebot/turtlebot_apps/blob/hydro-devel/turtlebot_teleop/launch/ps3_teleop.launch

If you need a wired controller, I would look at something that support's Linux's joystick API: http://wiki.ros.org/joy
