PS2 Controller for PC converter

Friday, Nov. 25 2005 | Author: Griffith

When the XBox 360 was about to be launched we gave you an article about possible things you could do to your old XBox, from turning it into a Media Device until using a bunch of them as a cluster with XBox-Linux.

Now, we bring you the first thing you can do with your PS2, well, not the console itself actually. Many fans complained about the PS3’s new boomerang-like controller, however a company named Buffalo is now selling a couple of adapters that allow you to connect one or a couple of controllers to your PC. They are currently available only through IO-DATA in Japan.

Hmmm, that’s weird, if it’s from the same brand then AkihabaraNews probably made a mistake.

There is a device made by SOYO called the Kiky Joy, which will allow you to use your PS2 controller on your PC.

Yeh, I’ve had one of these for ages. Ok, not that exact model, but a hot-pink styled singled controller USB adapter (Kiky Joy. Works pretty well and have been thinking about getting a dual adapter though.
