PS2 Controller to USB adapter?

[joeyroland]

Hello all,

With Madden 2005 only a week away, I need to get a new controller which features dual analog sticks. I purchased the Logitech Dual Action last year with Madden 2004, (recommended by EA), and if was ****. Both myself and my friend have had horrific experiences with the controllers. He even got Logitech to give him another one which also broke.

Anyway, I am almost 100% set on getting a PS2 controller for my PC for use with this game. However, I understand that I need some type of adapter in order to make the PS2 controller fit into a standard USB port.

My question [finally] is there anyone who knows of a reputable place in which I can purchase one of these adapters? A couple of people have told me Radio Shack has it but all 4 that I went to don't have it. 3 of the 4 have never even heard of it. They other just said they don't have it - never have:(

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time!:t

Hey nothing,

Thanks! That's a pretty cool site!:D

So, after doing the leg work myself, (I'll never trust RS employee's again), I found this. (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F006%5F003%5F003%5F000&product%5Fid=26%2D304)

Now I got a decent site for retailers and now I know what I'm looking for! Now it's just about getting it.


Thanks again!:t

Go to Soyo's website and look for the KiKy adapter.

I got mine for $10 at Fry's Electronics, it's blue and works under XP. Great little piece of hardware.

Thanks! I would actually take that exact Blue over any other color.

My only question about that adapter is does it allow for vibration or forced feedback (whatever its called)?

The one the RS website specifically says that it does and I just want to make sure this one does as well before purchasing.

Again, thanks!

It sure does, the game must support it as well.

AWESOME! That's the one for me then!

Again, thanks a bunch!:t
