This adapter doesn't have a "PS" button which means that things like dancepads, driving wheels etc that you'd like to bring over from your PS2, won't work. When the PS3 runs a PS2 game it wants you to press the "PS" key to register the controller. No "PS" button, no work.

The cheapest and easiest solution to your need of more controllers for your ps3. I bought one of these and suprisingly enough it didnt need a ps button at all to function correctly. Guitar hero 1,2, and 80's edition all work with my guitar controller (ps2 guitar) on my playstation 3. If your looking for a way to use special controllers like I was... give this a try.

We purchased a ps3 for the kids for Christmas and got a model that could play ps2 games. My girls were very disappointed when we could not hook up the ddr mat. With the exception that it cost me just as much in shipping as the product itself, it is wonderful! The mat works just fine now.

this ps2 to ps3 converter is perfect it works for the DDR pads which i use it for and its cheap i reconmend this strongley!!!!!

When Capcom released Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as a downloadable game for the PS3, I was faced with the problem of having to purchase a new PS3 arcade fighting stick or use the standard PS3 controller. Then I saw this adapter/converter on Amazon.com that looked like a gimmick item being sold on TV by "Billy Mays" and I figured I could use it with the HRAP2 (Hori's Real Arcade Pro.2 ) for the PS2 that I already owned. Fortunately, I figured correctly as this setup on my PS3 works great! Bear in mind that I only use it to play S.F. (& maybe Tekken?) as I can't use the PS button on a regular PS3 controller (meh...). This converter does what it claims to very well. I can't speak for other PS2 controllers like guitars & etc., but for Hori's fighting sticks it's an "Easy Operation". No lag in button input and the turbo feature works fine using an HRAP2. Forget about using slow-motion but as I said, this converter works fine on the PS3 playing S.F. II T HD Remix, on or off line. Hope this helps. SONIC BOOM!

i bought this so me and my buddy could play games without me buyin another expensive controller. everytime i plug it into the usb of the system. everything freezes. i mean everything. i have to restart the whole system otherwise. i say don't trust this item. suck up and get a controller and don't be a cheap skate like me.

I cannot claim that this converter works for dance pads etc, since I only bought it to have access to my old Namco PS1 stick and a digital Hori controller so I could use them to play fighting games like Street Fighter 3, Soul Calibur 4 and so on. The Dragon Plus converter does a good job in this respect. No discernible input lag means I have no complaints.

I got this converter to use for my Taiko drum and it truly works. It also works wonderful on ps2 controllers and wireless ones to the PS3. I am very happy to own this item.

The dual shock 2 work fine, despising the fact the pressure control not work but the vibration is good!. The DDR dance pad work fine. I recommend this product!

This adapter wont allow play from older ps2 games. It only allows a ps2 controller or guitar to be used with a ps3 game.
