Hi - just a really quick problem that I wondered if anyone has encountered before?

I want to pair my old PS3 controller (I have a PS4 now) with my Mac - whenever I press the button to turn the controller on, I will be prompted to enter a 6-digit code, followed by the enter key. So I will type in the code, and then press enter, but a message will come up saying that the pairing has been unsuccessful. This has happened every time I've tried so far (about 10 times).

It's as if my keyboard is turning itself off so the computer is failing to recognise that I'm inputting all the keys correctly, but I know the keyboard is functioning well because after the latest failed attempt I've immediately written this message without having to do anything!
