Ps3 Shanwan controller ISSUES

[chicuelo]

I have some strange issues when trying to use Shanwan controllers. There are many types, some look like ps3 original sixaxis and some don´t.

The normal thing is, when you buy and connect one of this gamepads to the PI, it start rumbling until you disconnect. Once you have paired it works great.

My sitiuation is that some controllers rumble when I connect them to pair and others don´t, and I can´t detect which of them will work in order to purchase them.

Those which doesn´t vibrate when you manage to pair, when paired (if they pair) are connected as player 1 (all of them) but work fine as p1, p2 or p3 (it´s only a indicator issue). Also they don´t rumble in games. I have noticed that when the module is disconnected, they remain connected until I reset them with a needle from the back. There is no other way to turn them off.

The strange thing is that I try to buy always the same controllers. Las week I purchased 4 with the ps logo in the middle and more generic like (P3 button). The result was that the second ones worked fine (which in early purchases don´t ), they vibrate when plugged to pair and disconnect when turning off the Pi as I expected.
The others that I have purchased in previous times and worked, didn´t this time.

Is there any way to know wich kind of controller will work fine?
Or is there a way to make them vibrate? I manage to connect them, I have no issues with that. My problem is that the ones that don´t rumble, dont turn off automatically either and they dont vibrate in games.

In this example chart I show how the controllers behave in different purchases. Sometimes one worked but not the others, and other times those who worked did not worked.
