My PS4 controllers used to connect to my PS3 normally, however they will no longer connect via cable or wireless. I have tried resetting the controllers, and using different USB cables. I don't know what's happening.
I also don't have PS3 controllers or a keyboard, and the TV controller version to move it won't work. Does anyone know a solution to this?

The Xbox 360 controller has got a power cable, but unfortunately it's a proprietary one.
You will need the cable from a Plug and Charge kit (pictured above) for 360 controllers in order to use the controller without batteries.
I've experienced this problem too. Try plugging it in your PC (like you would charge it or something like that), pull it out and then walk towards your ps3. (Or just put your pc next to your playstation if you have a laptop).
I don't know why but when I did this, the controller suddenly connected to my ps3 again without complaining. (I guess the PC screws with the sync or something).
