I think it's telling you to unplug the controller from the usb slot

Does this USB Keyboard happen to have USB ports on it? If so, prolonged use of that, and charging a controller while the system is doing something intensive could require more power than the power supply allows for. My suggestion is that if the keyboard isn't necessary at all times, remove it for when you don't need it. Also, unplug the mini-USB end from the controller when it's charged.

The keyboard is logitec, and its wireless. IDK if it has ports or what. Mini USB end? Wow i didn't know you could do that lol. How do you know when the control needs charged?

Press the PS button and a battery icon should appear in the corner telling you how much it's charged Just to check you DO know that the controller is wireless right? Seems like something everyone should know but just incase It sounds to me like you've been charging it for too long and it's asking you to unplug it.

When the battery gets low, a message appears on the screen telling you to charge your controller. So I wouldn't connect my controller unless it's charging.

How did you not know it was wireless? When you remove all packaging from the PS3 and wires etc it comes with you have to plug the USB charging wire into the controller lol. Well i am glad you have figured it out now!

It must of been nice finding out it was wireless after all that time It's like a free upgrade! i know. But i think the controller is $h!tt3d. When ever i plug it into charge, this happended to me last night: The battery was pretty much out, so i plugged it into charge and it kept getting the annoying message "The maxium power that can be supplied to the USB device's has been reached. Please remove atleast one." So i removed my USB keyboard, but it kept coming up, i had to keep stoping on fat princess, and then going and pressing the PS button, there was nothing in the USB slot but the control. So i think the controlled is has dyed xD.

Some rechargeable batteries can be over charged, to the point where the battery resets it's maximum capacity to a lower and lower amount, until it get to the point where hardly any charge makes the battery think it is full, when it is not. I don't know if that is what is going on here, but it might be the case. I find that normally for my heavily used standard controllers I need to recharge them once every 3 days to one week. When the charge is low and it's not connected by wire to the PS3, the player number lights on the top of the controller flash on and off repeatedly, indicating it needs to be recharged. The game will also send a message on screen saying the power supply to the controller is getting low. It appears like any PSN status message, like "Player XYZ has logged on" or something like that, at the top right of the screen in a grey box. I tend to disconnect USB things from my PS3 when not in use. As I can see from the calculation run times in Life@Playstation, formally known as Folding@Home, even just having a charging cable connected and not charging anything does take up a small amount of the PS3's processing power, and so disconnecting them when not being used helps the processor to work less and therefore last longer. Hope all this helps.

You've overcharged your controller, and now it's dead completely. By leaving it on the power for three months (can I just say "wow!"?) you've messed the battery up to where the maximum capacity the battery has has been lowered like someone up there ^^ said. So, basically, you're screwed unless you get a new controller. Look at it this way: You now have an excuse to get a DualShock.

Maybe its a problem with ur usb ports...Try not plugging anything into the ports until you get the warning that your controller is about to die. Or even to the point where the battery dies that might reset the memory of the battery to take a full charge again. either way try to wait till the battery indicator is down to 1 bar and still use it for a few mins at that level then plug it in. P.S. Welcome to the wonderful world of wireless
