ps2 controller

I love these controllers so much. Something about them feels right. Maybe even a little better than the official ones. Maybe its the smoother material, or how it feels ever so slightly bigger? I'm not sure, but I think they're on par with the original controllers. I had no issues connecting them to the console, they instantly worked. You just plug the chip, flip the power button on the controller (on the bottom) and press the analog button in the center. What I did notice is that it doesn't work for all games. I played Jaws on my PS2 but the controller didn't work at all. I thought maybe it was the disc or something since I tried everything. I had my original wired controller (albeit damaged) but I plugged it in and it worked right away. I thought I heard that some games were just like this for PS2, that you need wired/official controllers for some games for some reason. The other thing I noticed is that I don't think the controller vibrates at all. I was playing the Sims Bustin' Out, and I never knew it had a vibration setting and the setting was off by default. I turned it on and have been playing for months, but I've never once had the controller vibrate regardless of what crazy things my sims were doing. My controller did vibrate when I played Jaws, but as I mentioned earlier, I was using the official wired controller. So yeah, I don't know if it's able to vibrate, but these controllers still work great and the price is pretty good. Also the controller doesn't come with batteries, so just be aware that you need AAA batteries. If you're planning on playing your PS2 on a modern TV, I highly recommend getting an Hdmi converter. I got mine from Levelhike through Amazon. It plugs in the back of the console and then you plug your own hdmi cable into the device (I also highly recommend Zeskit Maya's 8k HDMI cable). Trust me, you won't regret it. Having my PS2 upscaled on a 4k TV is stunning. Edit: 08/16/25 So I was playing Bully the other day on the PS2 and I'm happy to confirm that the controllers do vibrate. However, it felt very subtle to me. Maybe I'm just used to how intense it can feel on the Xbox 360 or the PS5 controllers because it just felt underwhelming here. Again, I think it might be the controllers themselves. I'll try and update again if I ever find better options for controllers, or if I find original PS2 controllers in good condition to test on.

I busted out my old PS2 to show my kid, and the old controllers didn’t work. I found this 2 pack here and they work wonderfully. The controllers need batteries and then you plug in an adapter to the play station, they work great!

Great product! Definitely worth the price. Especially for 2 controllers. No complaints!

Dusted off the old PS2 and realized the original controllers were shot. Picked these up as replacements and my girls were playing within minutes. While they are a bit stiff at first,they work flawlessly with this 20+ year old console.

Works good. But sometimes btttons don’t register.

One controller had multiple buttons stuck in and had to be popped out. The other controller had the switch stuck in the "on" position and it broke when attempting to switch it to off. They also take AAAs which is a weird choice. They also came with no documentation or instructions of any kind, no idea what the mode button is for or what different indicator lights mean Update: the 2nd controller broke too

Works fantastic

These wireless controllers so far are working great! The batteries have been used for almost 12 hours straight and still going. My kids are loving playing their dad's old PS2.

Utilicé los dos controles y en los dos está la misma falla, específicamente en el joystick izquierdo al momento de querer mover el personaje del juego arriba a la izquierda no lo detecta, lo demás funciona bien, pero si lo quieren para juegos de disparos no se los recomiendo.

Works as it should, doesn’t drain batteries quick

Excellent controllers for the price. They work very well and low battery consumption. Would not recommend Dollar Store batteries.

Build quality is a little poor, but overall decent for the price.

One controller works the other doesnt
