I have no complaints for the lack of the Home button. I just use my PS3 Blu Ray remote for the Home button and it works like a champ.
So if any of you that have PS1/PS2 joysticks laying around you can give it a new life. I cannot see why it would not work but of course your mileage may vary. For the cheap price you would be crazy to not give it a shot. Glad I did.
*Some updates* Well unfortunately with my Hori Fighting Stick PS1 games (original disc) do not work on the PS3. The buttons work but the joystick does not. Some games on the PS3 does not work such as Namco Museum, Sound Shapes, Back to the Future, and Jetpack Joyride. Capcom Arcade Cabinet, Galaga Legions, The Simpsons, 1942 Joint Strike, Sonic Adventure, and Zen Pinball is working fine. These are my findings so far. These are just demos that I have tried. There are others that still work but not quite properly as in controlling the camera because you have no right stick. So my main goal is to find NON fighting games to use with our joysticks. When a game is operating properly using the joystick I totally love it.
When I first saw this device, I figured "cool, something I could use so I don't have to go out and spend $30 on a new PS3 controller". Well, to my amazement, there's a few hitches to the device. First off, don't get me wrong, the device works pretty good on most of the games I have played. All the buttons work just like a PS3 controller would. Here's the catch. The device doesn't add the function of the PS HOME button. (The PS logo button on the center of the controller that's used to help you exit/quit a game or program you are running) This is what got my attention while I was about to finish a game. There is no button that's used to help you exit a program or even be able to switch to another task. The PS HOME button is void with this device. So if you plan to play a game with it, you might want to use this as your Player 2 controller, not your main controller. Like I said, the device works pretty good, but good luck trying to exit out of a game or application to the main menu. You will be stuck there forever without a PS HOME button.
The best part about this product is - it works in the computer!
For $2 an adapter, you can't lose, it's plug and play, lets you utilize your old PS2 controllers, and it works alright. It's incompatible with some stuff, as I hear, and it has a slight delay, but unless you're a hardcore gamer, you won't notice or care.
I use mine to play Oblivion, GTA, every emulator imaginable, and even Halo. I have a wireless 360 controller adapter, but I really like the PS2 controller, and it's fun to spite Micro$oft by playing one of their games with a Sony controller.
I give it four stars because, even though I ordered four of them, and they all came bundled together in a package, I paid for each one's shipping individually. So the total came to about $15 more than it should have, and I was very upset, but it's in their policy, so there's nothing I can do.
