Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good While It Lasted Comment: This was great for playing games like pro evo and gta as you didnt have to find and extra pair of hands from somewhere to press all the keys needed, just plug in your ps1/2 controller and your away. The downside to this product is it doesn't last very long as it is very cheaply made. It isn't very strong where the cable meets the box so if you pull it a little to hard it doesnt take much to loosen the wires inside causing it not to work. My advice is look around you can find better quality products for half the price, as I did after owning this product for the three weeks. Customer Rating: Summary: Works Great Comment: What surprised me the most was that you an plug in two PS2 controllers!! Fantastic! Also that the Rumble function works!! That was the biggest surprise. This product is ideal for all computer games. Particularly good for Emulator software and works great for Halo PC, F.E.A.R. and also Unreal Tournament 2003 (after a lot of hard work manually making adjustments to the configuration files) the rumble feature works with all these three games and the emulators! Quick reminder for anyone using this product, remember to press the "analogue" button on the controller after you plug it in in order to be able to use the analogue sticks!! Customer Rating: Summary: Ok but in the end cheap Comment: Got this item around 6 months ago and never had any problems with it, it does look cheap but that didn't phase me untill i realised it looked cheap for a reason! Recently started stopping and starting which made it impossible to use, after little time of wear and tear the weak connections from the cable to the chip broke. I'd advise spending 2 pound more and getting a more sturdy one! Customer Rating: Summary: More control for your PC games Comment: For those of you who still rely on the keyboard for sports games (Pro Ev!) and driving games, get out of the dark ages! For years I played these games on the keyboard and thought that it was fine, but it is a whole new experience with the PS2 joypads. I just plugged the adaptor into my USB port, plugged two PS2 controllers and hey presto, not even a hint of driver installation or setup, I was ready to go! The importance of analog sticks in driving games really can't be overstated, and with regards to Pro Ev 6, the game is so much more playable. Shots actually go where I intended them to go, and players respond to a small change in direction without having to slow down dramatically, something that simply isn't possible with the keyboard. No more unfair CPU advantage! (OK, that's a lie, but it isn't nearly as bad!) The right analog stick didn't work with EA Sports Rugby 2006 and the buttons were all different from the PS2 version, but that really is the games fault, offering no option to config the controllers! This is the perfect option if you want to play games on the PC using analog controls and already have a couple of PS2 controllers kicking about! Customer Rating: Summary: So far so good! Comment: I've been using this adapter with a PS2 controller, playing games that were originally released for the PS1, while there doesn't seem to be any major problems, there are some sensitivity issues, though I predict this is down to the fact that PS2 controllers have analogue buttons, as well as the joysticks, and games released on the playstation 1 did not have analogue buttons, only the joysticks. I was pleased to find that two controllers can be plugged into this one adapter, I was under the impression that i'd of needed to buy more than one for multiplayer. But it's a two in one, Bonus! I imagine it will work fine on PS2 based games (with the PS2 controller, and PS1 games with the PS1 controller), there are no input problems, and every controll on the joypad has been recognised. It sure beats playing RPG's with a keyboard that's for sure. The ONLY reason I haven't given this item a rating of 5 is because I haven't yet used a compatible game <> controller, Though I give it a 4, because i'm almost certain there will be no issues. A great product, with a low price range! More Reviews
