Buy Universal Adapter for XBOX360/PS3/PS2/PC USB

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for 2 purposes: so I could use my PS2 pad on PS3 as well as use my XBOX 360 Madcatz TE stick on PS3.

The good news is that the PS2 pad works really well. I haven't noticed a single problem yet.

The bad news is that my TE works but has problems. It seemed to be working fine at first with no detectable input lag. Then after about 5 minutes in training mode I noticed that sometimes my directional inputs (using the stick) didn't register at all. It happens infrequently but seems to occur at least once every 15 minutes. What's even worse is that sometimes when pressing right on the stick my character will get 'stuck' running to the right even after I take my hand off the stick and I have to press the opposite direction to get him to stop. Obviously, this is a problem if you intend to play in tournaments as a single missed block can cost you your life in fighting games.

The stick's USB connector doesn't fit snugly into the adapter either, so it kind of hangs loose which makes the slightest movement disconnect the cord.

For reference, I'm using an OEM original PS2 pad and the stick is a Madcatz Tournament Edition S, SSF4 edition. From what I've read on various forums this adapter prefers 'Brand Name' controllers, meaning products by Sony or Microsoft as opposed to Madcatz or Hori. I plan to test it with a few other sticks and I'll report my findings here in the future.

**UPDATE: I tried the adapter with a generic Gamestop brand Xbox 360 Controller (actually made by Madcatz). It worked well aside from the analog seeming a bit over-sensitive. No dropped inputs or detectable lag.

I was hoping I could use a PS3 Hori fighting stick on an Xbox 360. That didn't work. Using a PS3 controller on an Xbox or vice versa seems to work just fine.

Great 3 in 1 tool for any gamer. Allows for the excuse "oh I can't play because of the controller to be a thing of the past.

Honest reviews on Universal Adapter for XBOX360/PS3/PS2/PC USB

I purchased this for the specific purpose of using my Xbox 360 Madcatz SF4 TE control stick on my PS3, for fighting games...

...basically so I would only need to buy one expensive set of joysticks instead of two and be out $300 more.

At first, this convertor worked great. I plugged in my stick and had marvelous response, perhaps only being off by 0.01 of a frame if at all (not that I could approximate it, just trying to convey a feeling using a number).

However, after a few weeks, the response became HORRIBLE.

I don't know why, or if there's some kind of accidental order in process I pulled off the first time and not thereafter, but now it just sucks.

I push a button and a second later at least, I get a response. A real disappointment.

You need an Xbox 360 controller if your going to connect a PS3 controller to a Xbox 360. It may have been clarified in the description but it needs to be put out more boldly so buyers don't waste their money on this since they'll need a WIRED Xbox 360 controller.
