- Wait for the lights on the controller to stop flashing.
Why is my R2 button not working PS3?
If the [R2] button isn’t working on your PS3, unplug any other peripherals (keyboards, guitar add-ons) then restart the PS3 with just the controller plugged in, and launch the game. The [R2] button should then work fine. This issue may also occur if the controller is synched up as the Player 2 controller instead.
What do you do when your PS3 controller doesn’t work?
Turn your PlayStation 3 on. Allow the PlayStation 3 to completely boot. Press the “PS” button on the controller. This is the button in the middle of the controller. The blinking red lights will turn to one solid light. This means the controller is synced.
How do I connect my PS3 controller to my computer?

Why are the lights on my PS3 controller blinking?
When the lights atop the Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) controller continue to blink when you turn the PS3 on, the controller is not synced properly. To remedy this, you need to re-sync the controller using the mini USB cable that should have come along with the PS3 console.
Can a PS2 controller work with Persona 3?
Power A and PDP controllers wouldn’t vibrate, and in Persona 3, if using the analog stick to move, the MC would spin in place if moving in a certain direction (thankfully, d-pad movement works fine). Bizarrely, Hyperkin’s Brave Knight controller vibration actually works with PS2 titles (though that Persona 3 issue still persists).
