I've purchase 2 usb adapters so far that lets me connect my PS2 controller to the PC.
That's because the first one broke down after like 2 months, while the second one broke down also after a few weeks.
Putting together what I spent, I could've just bought a cheap PC gamepad.
It's dumb.
But I still don't want to purchase a PC gamepad. I just want to play with the PS2 controller on both the PC and the PS2.
I've searched in Radioshack and they don't seem to carry any of those anymore. Plus, eBay always gives me a long list of those brands from Hong Kong which failed me.
So, yeah, any recommendations on which PS2 to PC USB adapter to buy?
Thanks

I have one from Joytech which is famous for making all these junk accessories. It works pretty well. Pretty good drivers, pretty good support. I bought it from a real video game store too, so it's no Ebay shit.
I also have a Gamecube adapter from Mayflash that I tried once. It sucked. I don't know why I bought it. The Gamecube controller is crap and Mayflash is the worst company in the world. Keep away. What's funny though is that they stole IGN's website layout completely, they even took the IGN logo and just wrote Mayflash on it. Weird doods.

Wyrdwad is not enough of a pc gamer to determine such a thing. All the Super Joybox things are really bad, with lousy support in most games (they're from Mayflash - everybody hates Mayflash).

I just checked out the web site..... creepy..... So no Mayflash then?
Joytech doesn't seem to have Ps2 to PC adapters listed in their site though.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that on both adapters I purchased, the computer seems to detect the buttons differently (like btn1 is square on one and X on the other).
Also, the both couldn't detect the UP directional button.... which pisses me off. On my second adapter, it also couldn't detect one of the shoulder buttons!
