How to Connect a Hama Boomerang Wireless PS3 Controller to the PS3 System

The Hama Boomerang is an unofficial wireless controller for Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game system. Unlike Sony’s official controllers, the Hama Boomerang requires you to connect its own USB receiver to the console before you can connect the controller and use it. The Boomerang is not recharged by the console’s USB ports like other controllers are, and is instead powered by three AAA batteries. The gamepad performs all the functions of a regular PlayStation 3 controller, but also has a macro button that allows you to store specific button sequences and rubberized hand grips.

Instructions

  1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the controller, and insert three AAA batteries into the battery port. Replace the battery cover.

  2. Turn on your PlayStation 3, and then plug the receiver into a free USB port on the console. The “RX” light on the receiver will flash green when it is inserted properly.

  3. Move the controller's power switch to the “On” position and wait 10 seconds for it to detect a signal. The Connect light will glow red and the RX light will glow green when the controller has found a signal.

  4. Press the “PS” button on the controller to assign it to a free controller port and complete the connection process.

How to Sync a Remote Controller With a PS3

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) remote controller is wireless. Though this feature is handy, it does add a little additional work to the setup required for the console. Because the remote controller is wireless, you have to sync it with your console before you use it. If you skip this step, the wireless controller will try to communicate with every PS3 within range, rather than just the console you are using. To prevent this interference, you have to sync the remote control with your own PS3 as well as every time you want to use it with a different PS3. Everything you need to sync the wireless remote controller is provided with your PlayStation 3.

Things You'll Need

    * PS3 wireless remote controller


Instructions

  1. Turn off your PS3 console and disconnect it from the power supply.

  2. Insert the USB cable provided with your console into an open contoller port. The controller ports are found on the left side of the front of the PS3.

  3. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the back of the wireless remote controller that you want to sync with the PS3.

  4. Reconnect the power supply to the PS3 and turn it on. The wireless remote control should sync automatically with your console. If it does not begin automatically, press the "PS" button at the center of your controller. This will begin the process. Once the sync is complete, you can disconnect the USB cable and the controller will communicate with your PS3.
