      I have tried searching for a solution but have failed to find anything on the forums, apologies if there is an answer out there that I was unable to find.

      I have set up a Raspberry Pi 3 B as a RetroPie gaming set up. I have connected the controller up with absolutely no issues and is running flawlessly. However, when plugging the controller into the RP to charge or sync it vibrates constantly and will not stop until I have removed the cable. So at the moment I am having to plug it into a separate power outlet just to charge it. Is there anyway I can stop the 'charge vibration'?

      Help would be greatly appreciated!

      Cheers!

        @liam this is a shanwan PS3 controller no?

        A fix was recently merged I believe? Update setup script and install the customhidsony driver
