Can a rock candy PS3 wireless controller be used on PC?

Can I connect a Rock Candy Wireless PS3 wireless controller to my PC like a normal PS3 wireless controller?

I am going to side with no, since it comes with its own wireless dongle to connect to a ps3. If it connected with traditional bluetooth in the same regard as a regular ps3 controller, there would be no need for a dongle.

Okay, do you know of any controllers that are sub 30$ and use bluetooth?

On windows 8.1, absolutely. Probably other versions too.

Plug in the dongle. Let the automatic installation find a driver for you. Put batteries in the controller. Hold down the home button until the light on the controller comes on. You are ready to rock and roll.
