Im looking to get one of these adapters online from a reputable reseller, i found them on a couple, but neither has a resellerrating.

btw, I had ordered a couple weeks ago the SmartJoy Plus Playstation to PC USB adaptor plus a Dual Shock 2 controller and I am happy to say that with ground shipping, it arrived in 7 business days; and shipping was under $10. Everything arrived perfectly packaged and functional, and both product work amazing.

Nothing like dual analog plus D-pad plus all 16 buttons working flawlessly and simultaneously for games like NHL 2004 where you literally make use of every button and feature of the controller :p

lol .... anyways, in other words its a great place even though its in Hong Kong.

Glad to see you had a good experience with these guys. Did they communicate well?

With Xbox controllers it is quite easy to make that adapter yourself. The controller is just usb with a different connector. I followed the guide here. They solder and put on an extra LED but you really can do easier than that. A nice part of xbox controllers is that they have that detachable piece on the end. I had a broken controller laying around so I took off the bottom piece and made it into a normal usb connector. Now I can use any xbox controller with my pc. Whole thing took about ten minutes using electrical tape.

The problem is i want the adaptor so i can still use the controller on the xbox.

Although it looks like i may have to just buy a 5th controller for the PC and mod it myself.

Thank you for the guide link, ill save that for my last resort.
