If it is designed for use with the PS3, you can try using Motioninjoy.

Motioninjoy lets you use your PS3 Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis controller on your PC. It can even emulate an Xbox controller for games that natively support it. Check out this guide for more info:

If it's wireless then you may have difficulty finding drivers that will work with it. Unfortunately, PS3 peripherals don't work natively on Windows in the same way that many Xbox accessories do.

There are some helpful guides and resources for syncing DualShock 3 controllers. That might be your best bet in finding a working solution.

Yes, it will work according to this guy:

I have personally used two different sets of PS3 joysticks and both work on the PC no problem.
