just wanted to share a working PS3 CLONE:

Hama "Scorpad" (this is a bluetooth controller) (https://de.hama.com/portal/articleId*156948/action*2563)

What' super nice: works out of the box without motioninjoy because it's directly PC-compatible!

got it for 23€ @Amazon. Pretty nice deal i think.

regards,
Jerg
I have the same, and yes it is working without motioninjoy, but it is not a bluetooth controller. You have to use the supplied radio (2.4GHz) dongle e.g. with a org. PS3 controller you can pair it (via bluetooth) to your smartphone and fly with the CF android app wireless and without a controller dongle.
Hi,
by "bluetooth controller" i meant that it is wireless, using bluetooth. I connected the controllers radio-dongle as well as the crazyradio to my PC and could fly the flie out of the box. Pairing it with a smartphone's BT adapter (w/o using the controller dongle) to fly with the android CF client ist the next step i'm thinking of.

Mark. Yes. I'm using a Logitec Gamepad X310 and it works great. It uses the X360 drivers. Wait for them, it took what seemed like forever for them to find them. Also, make sure that the system loads them by it being listed in the Control Panel/Game Controller. You should also calibrate them there AND in the CFpanel under Configure Device Mapping (Configure input device). I made my right hand buttons match the pitch and roll +/- trim buttons exactly as displayed and they are great for gross trim at startup. I also found that the bumper buttons (LB/RB) can be used for kill and exit but not the triggers (LT/RT) because they are linked to Z axis (might try to configure these someday as throttle control).
