I just got a dualshock 3 controller and since my PC (Ubuntu 16.04.1 has no bluetooth I'm connecting it by usb.
The problem is that as soon as I connect it to my machine, although it is recognized (checked with jstest), the controller starts vibrating constantly.
I already tried using xboxdrv with --rumble-gain 0.
I also tried setting the gain to 0 with ffset.
Both did nothing and the controller kept vibrating.. any ideas?
