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).

This adapter works great on the XBox for me and my wife, no noticeable lag, although I haven't used it for any fighting games yet, which is usually where lag is most noticeable. Haven't had as much testing with the GameCube, but I played Super Smash Bros. for a few minutes and it seemed to work fine.

Also keep in mind that this may not work with third party controllers. It works with my first party Dual-Shock 2. It DID NOT work with my Logitech Cordless Action Controller.

The design could be a bit better, I've never been a fan of the adapters like this that has a very short cable in between the connectors that "hangs" from the controller slot, but almost all other ones do as well, and it would not be easy to pull this adapter off any other way, so cant really knock any points off for it. Overall very good, at this rate I don't think I'll ever use my XBox controllers ever again.

This converter appears to work well for PS2 controllers, on both the Xbox and GameCube. I get the impression from the thing's instructions that it's supposed to work with PSX controllers as well, on the Xbox at least--but mine do not. I bought two converters, both for use with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 and my Cobalt Flux dance pads, and I find them unusable for that purpose. With the pads (and with an old PSX controller), they introduce a sizable lag; I find it quite easy to hit a button and then pull away from it entirely before the game has even realized I did anything. I was able to use the timing offset in Ultramix 2 to compensate for this lag, just barely, but the game still felt very disorienting to me and so I gave up on this PS2->Xbox converter and built my own pad->Xbox converter, using plans I found at sinistarddr.com . The converter I built was about four times as expensive as this one, but it works exactly one thousand times as well.

Incidentally, the PSX controller and Cobalt Flux dance pads did not work at all with the GameCube, using this converter.

works great. I use it mostly for my xbox because all of my original xbox controllers are broken. It has two switches, one is for switching between xbox or gamecube. The other is for switching between ps2 gamepad or ps2 wheel.I have also used it with the gamecube and the wii,and it works great.

Lots of fun to use. It's great being able to use my PS2 controllers on my Xbox. And, since I have no Xbox controllers with a turbo feature and 2 PS2 controllers with turbo, it's even better. Certainly makes it more fun to play "Superman: The Man Of Steel" when I'm using Superman's Heat Vision and slugging it out with Bizarro!

I have had one of these since 2003 so it may have a different name, but it looked identical. Anyway, this thing works fine even to this day. But the funny thing is , i played tales of symphonia and my character ran faster for some reason the analog on the ps1/ps2 controller had a wider range than the gamecube, thus giving you the said effect. , this may count as a mod or a cheating device try it out with that game and see for yourself. i only noticed lag with smash brothers melee, and brawl, yes this converter should work with the wii, it works with my wii.
this is a device you must get, thnk about it ps2 controller on the wii. just cool. i remember metal gears solid 2 for the x-box was pressure sensitive, but thus converter trashes the pressure sensitive feature so consider this if you want to get one of these, so you want to point a gun in metal gear solid 2? you must shoot the bullet once you cock the gun, but with the xbox controller s american, it has pressure sensitive allowing you to cock the gun and put it away with out firing.... the japanese controller s has no pressure sensitive either, so buy american if you want pressure sensitive

im a fan of the ps2 controler i cant play fighting games without one i used it for xbox alot i found out this converter is also good for the wii games that use controlers like its n64 download games

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.

This item was too expensive for the quality it has... I just bought it because It was cheaper than buying controllers for my gamecube and xbox.... It seems cheaply made
