Hey guys,


Pairing a ps3 controller to lion requires a passcode... In SL no passcode was required... it paired by using the USB cable...

I found the following two threads on other sites that got me at least to where the PS3 controller (a DualShock 3 for the sake of search engines) and the Mac were connected and configured via Bluetooth, but I've yet to find a way to pair them. The red LEDs on the controller have been a hit or miss affair for me. Sometimes they flash, sometimes they don't.
