ps3 gamepad issue

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with a sixaxis ps3 controller (probably a fake Chinese one) and I can't find the solution so far. When I connect it and (it's detected?) it starts vibrating and never stops and I think some buttons appear pressed when they're not.

I don't know what else might be useful.

Re: ps3 gamepad issue

I too have this issue, at first I thought it was a bad controller.  It seems to work fine, apart from the constant rumbling on the right side only.  Same with xboxdrv but the issue does not occur under Windows.
