I bought it for using my PS2's DualShock 2 on my XBOX. Buttons are too laggy. This is a shame, because this is the third adapter I tried and there's a.25 seconds lag between button press and real action, just like the other ones.It works great on PS1 Dualshock 1 controllers though.
I tryed the Dance Pad on the Xbox (not actually in a dance game, just in the menus but i will rent a DDR game and test it out later and update my review) and the buttons register quickly and sufficiantly, it responds well. Which is fine for Xbox and Gamecube. I tested this converter out with the GameCube and Xbox, the PS2 controller works very well with it. Here is the button conversions,For Xbox:X is ACircle is BTriangle is YSquare is XStart is StartSelect is BackL1 is WhiteR1 is BlackL2 is Left TriggerR2 is Right TriggerDpad is Dpadleft analog is left analogright analog is right analogL3 is left analog stick buttonR3 is Right analog stick button(this layout matches perfectly with the Xbox Eclipse Controller (made by Pelican but some may have GameStop logo on it instead of Pelican's but it is still made by Pelican))For GameCube:X is ACircle is XTriangle is YSquare is BStart is Start/PauseSelect isn't mappedL1 and R1 both are mapped to ZL2 is Left TriggerR2 is Right TriggerDpad is Dpadleft analog is analogright analog is C analogL3 and R3 aren't mappedTo sum up, this converter works wonderfully, for those who enjoy the PS2 controller, you should definitly order this. but still i think the rumble is still at a sufficient level. When the system boots, your controller will be put into Analog mode, and analog mode cannot be turned off. This converter is also great because you're playing Halo 2 and Resident Evil games like they should be played. I would recommend using the GameStop Chameleon Pro controller for PS2 for best comfort (especially First Person Shooters).
Btw, ignore what the other review says, PSone Controllers work fine with this converter as well. As for the controls, it works beautifully. The rumble conversion works wonderfully with the Gamecube, but the Xbox rumble conversion works a tad light, the actual xbox controller shakes harder than the PS2 controller in this conversion (I would rate this converter 5 out of 5 stars if the rumble for Xbox isnt that big of a deal to you). I tested this out with Halo 2 for Xbox and Resident Evil 0 and 4 for GameCube and the analog (i think) works better than the actual controller meant for each system. If you ask me, the only flaw with this converter is the rumble comes up a tad light for the Xbox (but it still rumbles sufficiently enough).
This converter appears to work well for PS2 controllers, on both the Xbox and GameCube. I was able to use the timing offset in Ultramix 2 to compensate for this lag, just barely, but the game still felt very disorienting to me and so I gave up on this PS2->Xbox converter and built my own pad->Xbox converter, using plans I found at sinistarddr.com. With the pads (and with an old PSX controller), they introduce a sizable lag; I find it quite easy to hit a button and then pull away from it entirely before the game has even realized I did anything. I get the impression from the thing's instructions that it's supposed to work with PSX controllers as well, on the Xbox at least--but mine do not. I bought two converters, both for use with Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 and my Cobalt Flux dance pads, and I find them unusable for that purpose. The converter I built was about four times as expensive as this one, but it works exactly one thousand times as well.Incidentally, the PSX controller and Cobalt Flux dance pads did not work at all with the GameCube, using this converter.
