Instead of the transparent blue pictured, my connector was black. Mine came with no CD with drivers or whatever but it was no real biggie. I have Vista and it plugged right in and worked perfectly. I mainly use it for NES/SNES emulation so I didn't really mess with the rumble or analog sticks, but all the main buttons worked perfectly.

Also, on a whim I plugged it into my PS3 just to see if it would work AND SURE ENOUGH IT DID! Everything worked flawlessly, including rumble and analog! This is huge for cheap PS3 owners who still have PS2 controllers lying around. Instead of schilling out $55 for a second dualshock, buy one of these and you now have 2 "new" PS3 controllers. True you're still tethered to the system like a gaming primitive, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper!

I've only used regular PS2 controllers and it's worked fine. But from reading other reviews it seems there's compatibility issues with some guitar controllers, dance pads, light guns and some third-party controllers. So if you're trying to use it for those and those only, you might want to look elsewhere. It seems some of these controllers have worked for some people. Still, for the price I'd say it's worth the gamble for the simple fact that even if it doesn't work for your specialty controller you can still use the standard issue just fine.

Also note that PS3 compatibility might depend on what PS3 model you have. (I have the 40 gig) It also seems like there are different versions of this item. The item you get might be different then the one I did. So your mileage may vary. But for me it has to be the best $4 I've ever spent in regards to gaming.

Product does exactly what it says; I can play games using my PSX/PS2 Dualshock controllers, in addition to being able to play Stepmania with my DDR pad.

Just plug in the adapter, plug in your controller, and you're ready to go. No extra BS necessary.

Simple, fast, flawless. You can't beat this price.

5/5

OK, so the packaging does in fact not say it works with Windows Vista. However, I tested it on both Premium x32 and Premium x64 and it works great! The driver is a 2006 driver, so any games created after that time period will not be compatible with the gamepad (at least directly from the game). I was able to find a key-mapping software to help me be able to use the controller and overcome this frustrating issue (vibration feedback is supported as well!!!) Also, I noticed my Logitech wireless PS2 controller does not work with this adapter; however, my wired Sony PS2 controllers work just fine with it. If you plan on buying this for games newer than 2006, start searching for a program that'll allow you to remap your keyboard and mouse to your gamepad.

It works fine with no driver, but you need a driver to get rumble to work. Both DualShock motors are fully supported.

The selection of drivers on the included CD is confusing, but you can download the most recent driver from [...]. After installing the driver, use Device Manager to update the driver for both "HID-compliant game controller" devices. (No not this time, Install from a list, Don't search). Select the "HID-compliant game controller" entry that does NOT have the digital signing icon next to it. They will now appear in the Game Controllers Control Panel as "TWIN PS TO PC CONVERTER", and now includes a "Vibration Test" tab.

Really nice plugs in and play. I recommend getting "Xpadder" with it if you're trying to use this for games that uses joysticks. Been using it for awhile now and still working.

Arrived very very quickly. Indeed it is black instead of the pretty blue in the picture. The package says to use "START+SELECT for 3 secs" to use with dance pads. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!! I googled for help, stepmania has a good page: the actual code is "START+SELECT+UP" for 3 secs. Once I got that right, it worked great.

I Bought It To Use It With My Computer And Worked Perfectly.

MY COMPUTER RUNS MAC OS X I ALSO TRIED IT ON MY FRIENDS COMPUTER RUNING VISTA,
BOTH WORKED.

Then I decided To Try It On My PS3 And It Worked.


Everything Worked Flawlessly The Only Problem is There Is No Home Button.

BOTH PS1 AND PS2 CONTROLLERS WORK ON PS3 AND PC'S

I Recommend Getting It From HDE

I got this thing so that I can play emulators on my pc, and it does just that. perfect for SNES, decent controls for N64. Mine came in blue as shown, and it works great, just plug and play. I heard this can be plugged into a ps3, so if you don't want to spend a lot on ps3 remotes, just buy this if you still have ps/ps2 remotes lying around.
I ordered this elsewhere and it never came, amazon shipped it very fast.

helpful hints:
- Plug into the right hand side for first player
- If you want to use the analogs, press the analog button on the controller first

I purchased this device in order to play some PC games using a PS2 controller mainly because that's a controller I am used to using. I had some problems with getting specific controllers to work including a DDR mat in order to play it with Stepmania. The drivers were a bit of a pain to get working in Windows 7. Overall, they could use a bit of work but otherwise the product works. If you're willing to put up with having to get the thing to work, this thing will work just fine for you. I definitely don't regret buying it, just wish it didn't have some of the issues that it has.

I bought this because I didn't want to buy another POS controller for the PC. I wanted one that worked as well as the PS2. When I got this, I plugged it in, Vista immediately recognized it, and it did not need to have the software installed. Plug N play all the way. I plugged in my controller, and started playing games. What a great product....
