Convert any Playstation 2 controller to work with other game systems!

Customer Review: Great product, but only for DualShock 1 (PSOne Joysticks)


I bought it for using my PS2's DualShock 2 on my XBOX. Buttons are too laggy! This is a shame, because this is the third adapter I tried and there's a .25 seconds lag between button press and real action, just like the other ones.

It works great on PS1 Dualshock 1 controllers though.


Customer Review: Product works fantasically


I tested this converter out with the GameCube and Xbox, the PS2 controller works very well with it. When the system boots, your controller will be put into Analog mode, and analog mode cannot be turned off. Which is fine for Xbox and Gamecube. The rumble conversion works wonderfully with the Gamecube, but the Xbox rumble conversion works a tad light, the actual xbox controller shakes harder than the PS2 controller in this conversion (I would rate this converter 5 out of 5 stars if the rumble for Xbox isnt that big of a deal to you). but still i think the rumble is still at a sufficient level. As for the controls, it works beautifully. I tested this out with Halo 2 for Xbox and Resident Evil 0 and 4 for GameCube and the analog (i think) works better than the actual controller meant for each system. This converter is also great because you're playing Halo 2 and Resident Evil games like they should be played. I tryed the Dance Pad on the Xbox (not actually in a dance game, just in the menus but i will rent a DDR game and test it out later and update my review) and the buttons register quickly and sufficiantly, it responds well. Here is the button conversions,

For Xbox:
X is A
Circle is B
Triangle is Y
Square is X
Start is Start
Select is Back
L1 is White
R1 is Black
L2 is Left Trigger
R2 is Right Trigger
Dpad is Dpad
left analog is left analog
right analog is right analog
L3 is left analog stick button
R3 is Right analog stick button

(this layout matches perfectly with the Xbox Eclipse Controller (made by Pelican but some may have GameStop logo on it instead of Pelican's but it is still made by Pelican))

For GameCube:
X is A
Circle is X
Triangle is Y
Square is B
Start is Start/Pause
Select isn't mapped
L1 and R1 both are mapped to Z
L2 is Left Trigger
R2 is Right Trigger
Dpad is Dpad
left analog is analog
right analog is C analog
L3 and R3 aren't mapped

To sum up, this converter works wonderfully, for those who enjoy the PS2 controller, you should definitly order this. I would recommend using the GameStop Chameleon Pro controller for PS2 for best comfort (especially First Person Shooters). Btw, ignore what the other review says, PSone Controllers work fine with this converter as well. If you ask me, the only flaw with this converter is the rumble comes up a tad light for the Xbox (but it still rumbles sufficiently enough).
