If you allow ScpToolkit to start with Windows, you should simply be able to plug in your PS3 controller again and it'll instantly be recognized. You'll get a notification in the system tray when it does. If you're not about that wired business, and followed all the Bluetooth installation steps above, you should be able to simply unplug the controller, and after a couple seconds it will sync via Bluetooth.

Unfortunately, this means that it won't register as a PlayStation controller to the few games that have native DualShock 4 support, so you won't get the correct Square/Cross/Triangle/Circle button icons by default. Any game with native XInput support-pretty much any modern PC game that supports gamepads-should recognize it without a hitch. Now that it's installed, the Dualshock 3 should behave like an Xbox 360 controller. Voila!
