Review: If you are looking for a low priced, high quality adapter to connect your PS2 controller to a pc, look no further. - Shipping: 5 Stars From placing the order to me receiving the item it was literally 4 days. the adapter came in a small retail box in a simple padded manilla envelope. there were no marks or damage whatsoever to either the envelope or the box. I was given no reason to contact the company so I do not have an opinion on the customer service, but if the other reviews are anything to go on I imagine it is fantastic. Product: 5 Stars My original plan was not to use this to connect to a PS3 but to a PC so that is what this review is for. While researching the different PS2 controller adapters I noticed that there wasn't much of a standard, so I simply picked one that was not only cheap in price but also seemed (from the reviews) of high quality. The design of this adapter is simple choosing function over form. the product is the same black color as the controllers i have, and the thickness/strength of the cable and plastic is strangely identical to that of the original controller and plug, which is a wonderful surprise. the adapter connects to the controller smoothly and tightly with no play between the two. the usb end of the adapter seems pretty standard but nonetheless connects to my laptop tightly with no play. The cable between the female plug and the usb male is very short in length, only about 1 1/2". I personally don't believe you could need more length than this as the controller cable is plenty long enough, if you need a 20ft cable for your controller I think you should consider moving the couch a little closer to the t.v. I am running an HP 530 Laptop and Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit I decided at first to connect the adapter to the controller before connecting the adapter to the laptop. after later experimenting I found that it makes no difference what you connect first, my laptop actually detected the adapter alone. upon connecting the adapter to the laptop, win 7 automatically installed a driver and the device was labeled "USB input device". This took all of 10 secs, and once this had finished I decided to try it out. The program I used for the initial test was ePSXe to play a PSX Game. The emulator detected the controller input no problem. I was able to assign all the buttons on the controller to various buttons in the emulator. During gameplay everything worked great, There was no lag in button presses at all no matter how fast paced the button mashing was. After this I tried several different emulators all of which had no issues with detection or lag whatsoever. PC games on the other hand were more difficult to use the controller with as most of the games I have do not have native support of gamepads, but this is a fault with the software not the adapter in any way. this problem is easily solved though using software such as Joy2Key or Pinnacle Game Profiler. Conclusion: 5 Stars If you are looking for a low priced high quality adapter to connect your PS2 controller to a pc, look no further, this will satisfy without a doubt.
Review: Pi-Station Compatable, Easy to Work With, - I purchased these adapters specifically for using them in a DIY Retro-Pi setup. This device had no issues with interfacing with original Sony controllers, or the Raspberry Pi 3. I did not connect these to anything else. I did not use the plastic controller port, nor did I use the USB connector on the end for my build. I opted to use the controller board to connect directly to the USB pins on the Pi, as well as the PCB for the PS-ONE. The version that I received had a small "brick" on the cable, which is where all of the components were housed. The housing came apart with a gentle bit of force, and it revealed a rectangular connector that I could now use for directly solder connections to. I preferred this configuration, as my build reused the original controller ports on the front of the PS-ONE, and I needed to save as much space as possible inside. Those PS-ONES are small. Everything barely fits, but it does! I did use a multi-meter to check for what connector went to what part of the board, as well as what connector went to what pin on the USB cable, as I don't trust any products to lay things out in a way that makes sense. Once I knew my pin-outs, I soldered everything up, and turned it on without any additional software or configuration. I was prompted on startup of EmulationStation to map the controller buttons, and after that, everything just "worked". Do note, that you will have power to the other controller port, but you won't be able to use two controllers with only one adapter. If you want to use both, you will need to cut the traces in between the two ports on the PS-ONE board. Just because the controller lights up, doesn't mean that the adapter is going to magically support two controllers being connected at the same time. For my build, I only needed a single controller, and this works perfectly. If I wanted to add a controller, I would still use this product, as the controller section is smaller and easier to work with than the larger V shaped dual controller options. It would be easier to have two separate PCB's with connections that are rectangular than a weird V shape. The above statement only applies if you go the same route as me with my build. If you are using the adapter by itself or are directly plugging in your controllers to the original connector attached to the cable, ignore this. I'll be purchasing this same item again when it comes time to make another Pi-Station, as I know that this is the perfect part for the job.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with emulated games on a pc?  Not that I would ever download something without paying for it..**
A: In the hypothetical situation where one does download and play an emulated game, it works very well with not only the controller layout being similar to commonly emulated systems (SNES, N64), but also is very responsive. I use a regular PS2 controller myself and in my 'hypothetical situation pod' I see myself playing and enjoying emulated games that I have never personally downloaded in reality.

**Q: my computer dont recognize my usb converter?**
A: Firstly, what operating system are you using? Compatibility issues might be your problem; I can't seem to find what OSes this device is compatible with on the listing. I use mine with an old Windows XP computer and it recognizes fine.Secondly, maybe your converter is broken. Try it on different computers and see if you get a different response. If it doesn't recognize on any computer, there's a chance you might've received a dud. I'd ask for a refund/exchange.Hope you get it working. I didn't have any issues with mine.

**Q: Will this work for skyrim PC on windows 7 X64**
A: Haven't tried it but skyrim supports 360 pad so you can always use x360ce to make it think its a 360 controller. Its what I had to do with blur

**Q: I know it says PS2 to PS3, but it's a USB, do you think it'll work if i plugged it into my Xbox 360?**
A: The ps2 or ps3 controller won't work. I'm pretty sure a USB computer controller won't work either. Yes, u cud plug it in but u won't be able to play games with it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, Cheap Adapter
*by K***Z on January 17, 2013*

This is a good cheap adapter. I Bought this because the PS2 to PS3 adapter I had would no longer work and, as I really loved that adapter, I thought I would find something cheap as a replacement. I can say this works with the PS3 but may not work with every game (Doesn't work with Gran Turismo 5). As stated by others, this does not contain a PS button, so exiting out of games will still need the use of a PS3 controller. There are converters that do contain a PS button so if that is something you need you should look into buying one that has that button. As I primarily use this when I watch movies, I can say this is exactly what I wanted and it serves its job well. As an added benefit, I have been using this on my laptop to play games and it works well in that regard. Overall, I would recommend this to computer gamers who have a Playstation controller and who would use it as a joystick. As for use with a PS3, It works as a cheap alternative but may not work with every game and definitely not as a replacement for a DS3 . I gave this four stars because it does what it intends to do and is cheap but is not as good as another converter that I have used.
