With regard to that, I'd like to see some USB dumps of a Sixaxis talking with GameOS to check if the PS3 can turn off BT on the controller explicitly, can anyone help here? (Pascal? Do you have access to a USB analyzer?): The scenarios I am interested in are: 1. Connect a non-paired Sixaxis to the PS3 via USB 2. Connect an already paired Sixaxis to the PS3 via USB 3. Connect a Sixaxis already associated via BT to a PS3 via USB
Hi Antonio, You asked me for this a while ago, sorry it took so long.

The PS3 add-on keyboard, and the PS3 headset both use cable pairing. I have them around, but was unable to get them to pair.I don't have the hardware so I never searched to see what the differences with the Sixaxis are.
I also did some quick captures of pairing the keypad (CECHZK1UC) and original headset (CECHYA-0075). They are being paired with 00:13:a9:74:fe:57. http://ps3.jim.sh/sixaxis/dumps/ -jim
