So far so good

Keep in mind that I just received it today. I bought this to see if my old Hori Fighting Stick PS would work on the PS3. Well it does and it works great. The fighting stick was originally designed for the PS1 (for those that do not know). My intentions are for old school style games (no fighters) on the PSN store. Tried some of the demo's and it is awesome. It's like bringing the arcade feeling closer to home.

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.

Not a bad idea, but they didn't cover every idea when they designed this...

I myself have more than 5 PS2 controllers, most of which I don't use either because I have been saving them for backups, or some have just been in the dust been because they have not been used. Now that the PS3 is out, new controllers still cost about $30-$40, about the price for a used PS3 game.

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.

It works

I immediately opened my adapter box up, took it out, plugged in my favorite PS2 controller, plugged it into my PS3, and then... It didn't work. Not the adapter, that is, my PS3. But, my PS3 broke due to completely unrelated issues.

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.

A good product with one flaw.

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am very happy with this product, however, I still have one major issue with it. The product disconnects too easily. I attached two ps2 controllers to the product, but, after only a few hours of play from both of them, the controller disconnected from the USB. This is most likely not an issue with the controllers, since thew work fine with the ps2 and this is an easy issue to fix by unplugging the product from the ps3 and back in, however it did sully my gameplay experience. Other than that one flaw, the product is very good. It doesn't show any input lag, making it feel as responsive as using a regular controller. The analog button substituting for the home button was a genius touch. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone who has a ps2 controller that needs a ps3 controller as a cheaper alternative.

Works - Kinda.

I'm using this primarily for playing PS3 with DualShock2 (PS2) controllers. I haven't tried it yet on the computer, but it is advertised as doing that as well. I plan on hooking up dance pads one day using this adapter, so I will update this review with what I find. All that being said, this adapter IS recognized by PS3 in the XMB. You can easily navigate through the menus, surf the web, watch videos, or whatever you do on your PS3 - besides games. I've tried PSone, PS2, PS3, and Mini games using this adapter, and none of the above have worked for me. This gets 3 stars for the XMB navigation, as I do use the web browser and movie player quite frequently. And yes, obviously there is no SixAxis or Home (PS) Button. For these you will have to hook up a separate PS3 controller. Seems like they could easily put a Home button on the adapter itself; even if I had to get up to push it, at least I'd have the option. Would make quitting games a whole lot easier.
