i have one from lik-sang the ones made by boom and they are crap

i have to jiggle the controller endlessly and i will suddenly lose control if the box moves slightly

all i want is :

-a good secure connection between the controller and the adapter that wont flake out if it is touched
-no delay when i push a button
-analog support

i heard the soyo ones have huge delay problems so im steering clear of them

this looks promising but me and my friends ordered about 12 adapters from lik-sang and only about 4 working well i dont wanna risk anything

these are the ones i have by the way

i only need support for psx

also if there controllers exactly like a psx controller for pc i guess i'll check that out too i dont want x-box or gc like controllers

here is another one that looks decent

if you own either of these can you let me know thanks

screw the adapter and getting a made for PC gamepad that's kinda like the PS2 controller, like the Thrustmaster Dual Analog series (work good for me).

bah i ordered one anyway

i will let everyone know how it goes

$29 shipped is kinda steep though but if this works its still cheaper than buying 4 PC controllers assuming you have psx controllers lying around which i do :)

I beg to differ. Gravis has the worst D-pads ever! :p

I'm glad you found a good adapter. I've tried a few PSX-like controllers and they all usually lack something.

I have a couple adapters made by Pelican Accessories. They're pretty good. The strange thing is that they've never been listed on their website yet a quick search just turned up this.

I got them a couple of years ago for $20 each. You probably got a slightly better deal on your adapter. ;)
