Dual USB Adapter Converter Cable Cord for Sony Playstation 1/2 PS One PSX Wired Controller Gamepad Joystick to PC Laptop Color Black

Does exactly what it says - plugged the PS2 controllers in one end and the other into the laptop, loaded the game (Lego star wars) - because it's an old laptop we had to map the buttons to what the characters did but then worked perfectly (and cheaply). No more bashing away at the keys. :)

Summed up.

It shows as two "Twin USB Joystick" devices, however I cannot get anything to register. Tried analog mode with and without on both ports, nothing. EDIT: It also installs a program that runs at startup without your knowledge. The folder it's in contained drivers and right after I installed them my keyboard and mouse were acting weird. I did manage to regain control, but I think it's either trying to map the controller to keyboard/mouse automatically (in which case why show controllers?) and does a bad job when it's not connected or it's a malicious driver file. The drivers you're told to download and install aren't malicious, the drivers I'm talking about are hidden. AVOID THIS PRODUCT, IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT HAS POTENTIALLY MALICIOUS DRIVERS. (they're hidden away, but still feel like I should note it.)

I recommended

After attempting to connect a ps2 duel shock controller to my pc I found that it did not work. Despite the controllers showing up on my pc and downloading appropriate drivers, my pc did not recognise the inputs when trying to map it. I then decided it would be more cost effective to purchase a bog standard ps4 controller for 20£ which proved to be more successful as well as having the Bluetooth functionality as I simply couldn't diagnose the issues with the ps2 controllers. Unlike other reviews, I didn't notice any malicious software being installed, verifying in task manager and through various security software(perhaps I just missed it). If you're more tech savy perhaps you can work out the solution or perhaps there was a fault with my unit.

the original ps1 controllers without the sticks work perfectly but if i use a ps1 controller WITH the sticks or a ps2 controller it doesnt work at all

Not the best, even when plugged in it keeps disconnecting while I'm playing, could be faulty.

Didn't work at all. I bought a different item which worked just fine, so not the controllers at issue. Item too low value to bother returning.
