Sony Official PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 Controller (PS2)

Product Information

While the wireless PS2 controller from Funcilit is a little pricier than the controller we discussed above, many PS2 fans claim this is the best one of anything currently available. It has the heft of a PS2 controller, and this is combined with a level of ease-of-use that makes this another exceptional plug and play peripheral. If you’re looking for a PS2 wireless controller that brings together function with optimal comfort, this release from Funcilit should be one of your first considerations. Other Retro Controllers usually need adapters, unless you get updated USB versions of them. Most adapters should use standard XInput and DirectInput connections and should be configurable in Steam and any of the apps below.

The PS2 headset connects via USB 1.1 on the front of the console. The headset is most commonly used in online multiplayer games; however, it can also be used in some karaoke style games, for voice control, and to enhance the immersive experience of some single player games. [18] Headphone Splitter [ edit ]The button layout design is arguably a little imperfect, when compared with an actual PS2 controller. This is a minor issue, as the durability is still very much intact. Overall connectivity is very good, and the controller uses two AAA batteries. A fresh pair will last for at least several hours. Windows will connect the controller by default, but it may not be usable as a controller in all apps. Dolphin, the Wii emulator, supports using them as inputs, but we didn't have any on hand to test system-wide use.

Nintendo's Switch Pro controller works automatically after you connect it via Bluetooth on Windows and macOS, but you'll have to set it up in Steam to use in games.

Overall best controller for emulation

There are two different models of the DVD remote control that were released, which had minor differences. The first one to be released is the SCPH-10150 (some are labeled as SCPH-10170, 10171 or 97042 [8]). The second, SCPH-10420U/97076, [9] is visually and functionally identical apart from the addition of eject and reset/power buttons. The eject button only works on SCPH-100xx to SCPH-500xx PS2 models, as the slimline PS2 models had no motorized disc tray to eject. For the retro purist, the ideal way to play via an emulator is with a system’s original controller. Fortunately, there are some low-cost adapters available that can make that possible. Mayflash offers adapters that allow you to connect your SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS2, and Saturn controllers to your PC via USB. For the most part, these work just like using an Xbox One controller and can be easily configured across emulators. The 3.5mm Audio Stereo Y Splitter can transfer audio from the PlayStation 2 into two output devices, including headphones, headset, and speakers. The Vertical Stand is attached to the PlayStation 2 console to allow it to stand vertically. [19] Three different versions are available: SCPH-10040 for original (large) consoles, SCPH-70110 for slimline SCPH-700xx consoles and SCPH-90110 for slimline SCPH-900xx consoles.

You can unplug it and from then on it will pair with the adapter as long as the console is on. You’ll even have vibration on titles that support it, and you don’t have to worry about any further setup. Runner-Up Wireless Controller for PS1 and PS2: Buy a third-party controller The RFU Adapter (SCPH-1122) is an RF Modulator and cable that carries mono audio and video at 576i/50Hz (PAL) or 480i/60Hz (NTSC) via an RF signal and connects using a TV aerial plug. [10] It is similar to the RFU adapter cable available for the PlayStation. The PlayStation 2 remains a big deal, and nothing expresses that ongoing fondness as much as the range of wireless PS2 controllers that are still readily available in the 2020s. Official Sony memory cards are only available at a size of 8MiB. Later, Sony partnered with a third-party accessories company Katana to make Memory Cards that came in 16 MiB and 32 MiB. These Memory Cards were officially licensed products, as they have the PlayStation 2 logo and word-mark along with them saying MagicGate on them.The DVD Remote Control is an infrared remote control for the PlayStation 2 designed to allow easier control of DVD movies. The first remote came bundled with an infrared receiver dongle (SCPH-10160) which attached to one of the PS2's controller ports; this dongle is not needed on later PS2 models (beginning from SCPH-500xx) and slimline PS2 models (SCPH-700xx to SCPH-900xx) as they featured an integrated IR port. Is the Saloke Wireless worth your time? Given its low price, there really isn’t an excuse to not at least give this controller a shot. It takes two AAA batteries, with a good charge holding for up to 12 hours, depending upon what and how intensely you’re playing. The EyeToy is a digital camera device, similar to a webcam, for the PlayStation 2. Originally, EyeToys were manufactured by Logitech (known as "Logicool" in Japan), while later models were manufactured by Namtai. The EyeToy is mainly used for playing specifically-designed EyeToy games, but can also be used to capture images and videos. It is also compatible with the PlayStation 3.

The iBuffalo Classic is basically a SNES controller that connects with USB and features turbo functionality. The difference between this product and the millions of other SNES USB clones is the iBuffalo’s build quality. This controller actually feels pretty close to an actual SNES controller. Plus, at such a low price, most people can swing grabbing two for multiplayer action.

You'll need an adapter of course, but Windows and Mac should be supported by default through HID. Support may vary though depending on the adapter you get. You can get an official one, but the Mayflash adapter seems to work fine for half the price. This adapter has a switch so you can use it on PC as well as console, which will turn it into an HID device rather than a proprietary console only one. Dolphin can communicate with it directly, though, and will support the Wii U mode, which can fix some bugs with the additional ports. Windows supports wired 360 controllers by default, but wireless controllers will need a special USB adapter. Most controllers intended to be used on PCs, like USB Logitech controllers, will be HID-compliant devices and support the XInput or DirectInput protocol, which you can use in most games. Some may work out of the box and others may need a custom driver. For console controllers, especially older ones, you may need a hardware adapter if it doesn't plug into USB, as Bluetooth support is hit or miss.
