My only complaint about it is that it has only one slot for each console (PS2, GameCube, XBOX). It would be helpful if it had 2 slots for each console considering the many games out there with multiplayer capabilities.

I didn't expect it to work at all. The XBOX controllers I can't get to work, I figure there is incompatibility with the emulators i'm using it with. Oh well, two player action with a Gamecube and PS2 controller is cool enough.Honest reviews on Gamecube, PS2, XBox 3 in 1 Controller Adapter- Play your favorite
This works like magic! I have no trouble with this device I play dolphin emulator at full speed & there are no delays with the controller. The only thing is that you must first Plug in the controller before you put in the USB.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Gamecube, PS2, XBox 3 in 1 Controller Adapter- Play your favorite
So far, I'm very impressed with this product. It allows you to connect an Xbox controller, Playstation 2 (or Playstation 1) controller and a Gamecube controller to your PC through USB. The great thing is that you can theoretically hook one of each at the same time for 3 players.So far I haven't been able to test the GC functionality, but I imagine it works as well as the PS2 and Xbox. These adapters are great for getting that "perfect" feel for retro gaming, and often these controllers are cheaper and easier to come by than their PC counterparts. So if you have a bunch of consoles at home, and want to use those same controllers on your PC, now you can. Of course one might argue that this means your controllers will wear out faster, but at least in the short run it will save you money and replacing them will be that much easier. Xbox controllers are harder to come by these days, but as of this writing, Gamecube controllers and Dual Shock 2's are still being sold brand new in stores (and not just the third party variants), because of the Wii's emulation of Gamecube and that the PS2 still has new games coming out for it.
I recommend this product, though there are other similar adapters out there for other needs (like if you want to use Saturn or Dreamcast controllers, or attach 4 ps2 or Xbox, etc controllers at once).
There is official software for this product posted on the mayflash website (it also comes with a mini-cd in the package, don't throw out that cardboard before you find it! though of course the website drivers are the most up to date). You can also download a free program called Joy2Key (which allows you to assign keyboard and mouse functions to joystick functions) if you are having problems getting your pads to work with a particular game or app. I haven't tested other types of controllers with this adapter, but usually these adapters are designed for the pads, sticks, dance mats and sometimes racing wheels. Other gimmicky controllers may not work (and lightguns will not work, especially since they usually require a CRT if you don't have one... but look up EMS, they make guns that will work with LCD, Plasma and projection).
Another thing I like about this adapter is that it has a fairly long cord, which functions like an extension to the console controller's wires. Like all USB devices it's plug and play. Some games though only work if you plug in the adapter after starting up the game (in conjunction to Joy2Key).
