Wireless PS2 $9 Controllers from Ali Express 😮

[@Lenmaer]

Something you forgot to mention. Those fake controllers don't have pressure sensitive buttons, so some games won't play well. That's why I prefer the Brook DS3 wireless adapter for the PS2, because all original DS3 controllers have pressure sensitives buttons.

[@cris3515]

If your PS2 is softmodded, you can use the cheapest generic bluetooth dongle and connect a DS3/DS4 controller with OPL

[@sideskroll]

@@cris3515 Never got that to work. Could you point me to a PROPER video please?

[@robertjack4329]

That is the Key. Also, 360 degrees of control on the analog stick. Many knock off controllers don't have this and it's difficult to get this info prior to purchase. The only games I have are multple versions of football, gta, resident evil, and socom. You can only run forward or backwards ar 45 left or right, 90 left or right, or straight ahead. This makes any 3d game unplayable. I just loaded up and bought a handful because I think they will get more expensive with time.

[@Bozo2kPL]

I've been thinking about purchasing this "thing" since 15 months before I've met your Wicked channel... Now I'm clearly sure to purchase this "thing"... Thanks Wicked, you're great

[@WEARECHANGEBEDS]

I bought one of these cheap wireless controllers, then I swapped all the buttons and pressure pads on it for ones from an official controller and it actually improved the feel and performance of the controller.

[@lilmancc35]

A lot of these controllers issues are either the old misc plastic parts break or the paper thin pcb will not make proper connection. As for stick drift, thats just old age.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Whahaha indeed 🤣

[@saddlesore_adventures]

i have purchased a DS3 fake controller that looks like the same stuff they are using for making DS2 controllers. I found the buttons to be kinda okay, though same story you described apply, but what really makes it bad are imprecise analog sticks.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Around the PS2 era I stockpiled on everything:4 systems, lots of controllers, scores of memory cards and a ton of games. I got ready for the future. And ever since I do the same thing with new systems so when the time comes I am not surprised by a lack of hardware in stores. Wait are you buying these extra controllers to collect or because you lack controllers? I only bought second market controllers for the NES and SNES. Good reviews and cool video Wicked!👍

[@Kieran_OPC]

I made the mistake of never buying enough ps3 controllers.. I've got about 5 but 3 are used and 1 well worn now sadly, I do have a couple mint near new ones and just got a brand new God of war edition

[@hectormontalvo5565]

@@Kieran_OPC well done because the time will come when they're not seen. Stock up on hardware bro.🤔

Well done I have 2 PS2 one slim and one fat I'm just regretted because I didn't buyed original PS2 controllers now I can't find them

[@bonibon6669]

Just found my slim PS2 with the old games like Dbz/Naruto/doa etc but my controller is broken Wanted to play because lately been feeling down and wanted to relive childhood nostalgia 🥲

[@phasis7245]

Nice review man! Thanks for uploading this video!

[@Flashy7]

If yours is similar to mine: you can wake up (or reconnect) the controller with one of the middle buttons (Start maybe) when it disconnects from the receiver.

[@steammachine3061]

I have a wireless ps2 controller. There is noticeable lag though that isn't there with a wired controller. Part of that could be due to the increased latency of already running it on a modern lcd screen though. But I much preffer wired when the option exists.

[@cactusstudiossouth]

I have 1 Mad Catz translucent wireless controller got to be over 20 years old and just recently bought one from AliExpress! The alley works well it's much lighter than the original Sony wireless controller but you have to press the buttons harder just recently I'm noticing that the red and green lights are flashing but everything else still works maybe that's telling me the batteries are getting low?

[@kosimazaki13]

I would like to buy pads and a USB hub for Anbernic 350P that I bought thanks to this channel. Greetings from Poland

[@badwolf66]

I have the wired (Translucent Green) and wireless (Translucent white) PS2 controllers and they both work great, I prefer the wired one though since I don't have to bother with batteries.

[@intergalacticlollypop]

Or get rechargeable battery's and you'll will never have to worry about not having batteries anymore

[@JoeyAnswer]

I have two of these those I thought mine has Sony and PlayStation logos, but I have found at times mine disconnected a few times and I found it works on PS1

[@masterbourne8833]

Hey wicked personally I love the translucent one as it looks awesome, and I'd most likely tear down one or two of my old official ps2 controller and change all the buttons for the the official ones 😮 and as always thanks for the awesome review and keep them coming dude 👊

[@Wurstifier]

The analogue sticks also don't behave like the original ones. Try to play GTA or a 1st person shooter and you will notice ;)

[@billcook4768]

The PS2 is a great party console. Get a multi-tap and there are a surprising number of 4-player games for a console that doesn’t support 4-player natively. The problem is having four working controllers.

[@franckyrocky]

thanks, I just ordered one

[@Streetw1s3r]

I've been looking at these for a while to replace my old tired (partially broken) controllers but haven't gotten the courage to purchase.

[@frankgile1996]

I think these controllers are... ok? They work fine (with AAA batteries), the buttons are not pressure sensitive, like the original (so they may take some time to get used to, depending on the game), the most difficult thing to adapt to, for me, were the analog sticks. A lot more sensitive, and it feels like the analog values max out before the end of its travel. Besides that, and for their price, they're decent... I haven't tried the Brook adaptor for PS3/PS4 controllers on the PS2 (because I don't have PS3/PS4 controllers), so I can't compare them to those...

[@alexj.f.kennedy6084]

Random answer a year later - I got myself these wireless controllers as well as the wired ones and tested the sticks. Both the deadzones and the travel on the sticks are god awful. If you devide the complete distance of travel for the stick from the middle position to completely held down, the first third won't be registered at all, the second third is doing the full range of motion (which for ps2 is 0.3 to 1) and then the last third sticks to 1. Completely unusable for FPS games. I fixed it by getting replacement sticks from AliExpress (there are many cheap ones but the most expensive version which also works for PS3 and Xbox 360 controller works really, really well and are 74ct each) and putting those in, after that the stick got recognized as it should be. Just that the replacements are easier to move than the original ones, which takes some getting used to. Else you can make half decent controllers for like 15 bucks when u know how to desolder and solder.

[@username30536]

I got the clear grey one. The rumble motors don't do anything and the left analogue stick has a huge dead zone. It's fine for the moment but not a long term solution. You get what you pay for.

[@hectorlopez-nk2yt]

Nice, i like the translucent one 👌

[@richardheckmann1892]

I been looking at them for a while now. I think that they would be great when you have friends or playing two player games

[@pitapitabread]

are you using a USB-PS2 adapter dongle thing?

Are there any ps3 controllers you'd absolutely recommend? All but one of my official ds3s crapped out

[@michaeladams9807]

I wish I had this back in the day 👍👍

[@Curryking32000]

The clones are a good cheap substitution. wired PS2 controllers don't last and i think the cables break even when you don't use them. I had one, hardly used it, put it in storage for a few years and it now doesn't work. The copies are not going to be exactly the same but they do the job.

[@sideskroll]

Yeah. Dualshock 2 controllers are TERRIBLE. The domes on the analog sticks "dissolve" by themselves (for lack of a better description), and they simply stop working out of the blue. I had a couple in storage and at least 2 just wont work anymore. Sadly, that seems to be a constant with Sony. My DS4 controllers are already failing and I have one of those Last of Us 2 editions that after playing with it for 2 hours (2 hours! And I take GOOD care of my controllers consoles etc.) after 2 hours of using it the right analog started to drift. The consoles seem to hold up a lot better. But nobody, NOBODY beats Nintendo in good, QUALITY manufacturing.

[@wolffactor56]

Did you try swapping over the ps2 controller membranes?

[@christiantucker4569]

Why not just get an 8bitdo controller and adapter?? Cost a little more but the feel and precision makes it all with it.

do you think its possible to Frankenstein original ps2 controller parts to the cheep wireless one?

Is there any way we can convert the original controller to wireless? I want the wireless but I hate the quality of wireless controllers being sold.

I’m constantly on the look for PS2 controllers. The originals are all dying and I’ve never found a fake one that comes close to the feel of the original. I was hoping you had found something. Bummer.

I recommend either the logitech or pelican ps2 wireless controllers both perform very well.

[@firestzero]

Nice video as always, I bought many versions of the wireless ps2 controller (including the version you have), they are all good and play well but not that great for example when I play MKSM and use this controller for "test your might" it is so hard to do it, maybe using the ps3 controller on ps2 would better (I don't know, I didn't try it), Unfortunately, I'm searching for a good quality wired controller like the ones I had many years ago (not OEM) but I couldn't find one and of these wired controllers come without vibration function.

[@tessie1968]

I bought one of these cheap PS2 controller on Ali Express and a usb PS2 to PS3 game controller adapter to see if it would work with PlayStation Classic they didn’t work so I said well let me try with the C64 mini latest firmware upgrade let me just try them on C64 mini well to my surprise I could use the cheap PS2 controller on C64 mini I do have a Sony PS2 console I have not dug out the real PS2 console yet to try this cheap controller on it

Press the button analog on the controller.

Lol those are for inmates in prison.. That's why they make all those clear electronics (TVs radios etc). You're not allowed to have anything with an opaque case, because you can hide stuff inside.

[@dobrickgenevo]

HELLO amazing helpful KZbinr. I hope I can explain this clearly. I desire a pair (2) of PlayStation 2 controllers which work wirelessly via the SAME wireless dongle stuck into BOTH PS2 controller ports at the same time. This allows me to turn one off while my friend on the other side of the room turns theirs on in order to switch who's controlling player 1 for taking turns in single player games without having to throw one controller back and forth across the room. You may laugh but I have purchased a controller that does exactly this, which is a ProGamer (brand) PS2 wireless 2-controller set with a single dongle that splits into 2 wires and plugs into both controller ports simultaneously and does exactly what I described. The problem is one of the controllers has a faulty analog stick that doesn't activate when going left, and I can't find this brand or this type of controller or anything like it to replace this set up. If you have any thoughts or solutions I would much appreciate it. Thank you 💚 And I should note that I'm unconcerned about the quality of the controller since my main requirement is for it to simply function properly and work in the ways I described. Thanks

[@ayoubbenmessaoud-c8c]

do you want to give me one of these controllers,please
