PS PS2 USB Dual Controller to PC Adapter Converter

PS PS2 USB Dual Controller to PC Adapter Converter

OK, so the packaging does in fact not say it works with Windows Vista. However, I tested it on both Premium x32 and Premium x64 and it works great! The driver is a 2006 driver, so any games created after that time period will not be compatible with the gamepad (at least directly from the game). I was able to find a key-mapping software to help me be able to use the controller and overcome this frustrating issue (vibration feedback is supported as well!!!) Also, I noticed my Logitech wireless PS2 controller does not work with this adapter; however, my wired Sony PS2 controllers work just fine with it. If you plan on buying this for games newer than 2006, start searching for a program thatll allow you to remap your keyboard and mouse to your gamepad.

What Kind Of Cable Is Needed To Charge a PS3 Controller

The Process of How the PS3 controller charges up

The PS3 DualShock 3 controller has an internal battery pack, which is used to provide power to the controllers functions. The battery is rechargeable, so when the controller becomes dead, you can simply charge it up. This means you dont have to replace the batteries, like you do with an Xbox 360 controller. The PS3 controller obtains its power from the 5 volts a USB port puts out. This power is then transferred down the USB cable and into the battery pack.

What kind of USB cable do you require to charge up your PS3 controller?

The type of cable you require to connect your PS3 controller to your console is called a Mini USB Charging Cable. This cable has a mini USB connector that connects into the top of your controller. On the other end of the cable is an regular sized USB port. This plugs directly into a USB port on the front of your console. Not only is this type of cable is used to charge a PlayStation 3 controller, it is also used to connect your PSP, mobile phones and sat navs via USB.
