Works for Me
I needed an arcade stick to play disc-based PS2 games on a backwards-compatible PS3. This converter will allow the grey/yellow Namco PSX stick to do just that. This may not work for every PS2 stick or peripheral.

    Let's just say that this converter is probably the cheapest one I saw on this site and I'm so glad I made this purchase. It came 2-3 days after I placed the order so I was impressed with the speedy delivery! I have a DualShock 1 and a DualShock 2 controller laying around and this allows me to use them on a PS3 or my desktop pc. So far, there is little to no input lag and the converter worked for a 5 hour gaming session on Tekken Tag Tournament 2. There seems to be slight input abnormalities but I will further test it once I get my PS3 tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll consider buying another one for my DualShock 1 controller and use it for Mortal Kombat X on Steam. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for PS3
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013

    Reviewing the "PIII CONVERTER, Model: 538".

    Preface: To start off, the box says it's a PII-PIII&PC CONTROLLER CONVERTOR... (Yes, CONVERTER on the item, CONVERTOR on the box.) Doesn't sound like it's really meant for the Playstation 3 at all... rather some half-compatible clone of it which seems to exist for every "official" gaming console out there... and you'd probably be better off thinking that, since they seem to advertise just that.

    Contents: The one I got was a USB connector connected to a node, which then connected to a Playstation controller connector (just like pictured, but who knows if another seller takes over the picture and uses another). It connects to PC, and shows up as 2 controllers. I was going "Huh, feels like something I bought before that I know doesn't work on PS3." The ones I got before were similar to these from a place known as "DX", but in a black casing, which was a USB connector connected to a triangular box with 2 playstation controller ports:
    this, this, this, this, this, this or this (how many of these are there on the Similar Items list??).

    PS3: The basic buttons work... so I can press X to get into the game; just don't expect the select or start buttons to on the PS3, and don't even think about the PS button. For games like Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, which insists that you use the Start button to get to the main menu, and the PS button to add an additional player, well, you'd have to temporarily swap controllers (through the system menu too since the connected one is already assigned a controller number), which would be a huge pain, even if you had something to swap with, such as an almost-drained PS3 Sixaxis controller.

    PC: On the PC every button shows up, including R3 and L3. I'd rather get ones that actually came with 2 ports, though... at least if some PC game can use 2 joysticks but won't let you pick which, it wouldn't cause you to pull out your hair on the phantom joystick. I didn't actually game with it, but I did use the Game Controller test in Windows and it works fine there. I assume that once it tests out fine there then it works... at least it does with the other converters, which I use to play Descent 3, although with some difficulty since I can't quite get it to make fine maneuvers to actually shoot with much accuracy in time; but hey, I got what I paid for, and it saves some dedicated equipment that I'll rarely use.

    Something better: I was hoping to score another that's similar to one that came with:
    Hyperkin New Playstation 3 SX-3 Wireless Controller Ultra-Responsive Dual Analog Sticks Directional Pad Black (may need to search for Tomee, which was the logo that shows on the controller, on other sites)
    That one was sweet. It comes with one that has a USB connector (marked with V2 on the underside) connected directly to a Playstation controller port. That wouldn't work when connecting standard Dualshock 2 controllers to Windows, but it works great on PS3 (can even use the PS button, which shows as SX on the Tomee controller, if you press the "Analog" button on a standard Dualshock 2 controller; the "Analog" LED just stays lit). The SX-3 controller is advertised as having the PS button working, but sadly, in-midst of the first test session, the left joystick started giving out and won't go to max on certain directions, and the mid-boss literally ate my character because of it :-(. The converter is worth it, though, since if the PS2 controller breaks, just swap the controller (I have a lot of them), which I did do, after which that same mid-boss can't bite me anymore :-P.
    Or... at least get the one that actually had 2 Playstation controller ports.

    Afterthought: I wouldn't comment on the durability, since I won't be using it much, given I already have a few of the other converters lying around.

    Conclusion: I'd give this a 2.5 star... dock 2 off for not fully working on PS3, at least with one game which I can't even start because of it, and 0.5 off for showing that phantom joystick without an actual port to go with it. Caveat emptor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very clever & economical way to take your PS2 controller and make it work for whatever you need.

    A great idea for a super cheap price with fast and free shipping! It doesn't get any better. It worked on my PS3 and PC and couldn't have asked for more. Don't think it's too cheap either. It works fine so if you needs an adapter to make you PS2 controller work for PS3 or PC buy this one because I really don't think that you will find a better one.

    It works. just be sure that the you press the analog button on the PS2 controller. I didn't and I had a mini heart attack when the joysticks didn't work! it is no replacement for a proper PS3 controller, but if you want to do some co-op every now and again, it is a good substitute. (unless you also have to buy a PS2 controller, in which case, you might as well go for the PS3 controller. i already had a PS2 controller ^^)
