Question Does anyone have one of these?

Does anyone have one of these lying around?

Its a converter that alows you to plug in a Playstation 1 or 2 control into a USB port.

They are pretty cheap, but I can't seem to find them anywhere........I even tried Pac Mall.

I would like to find one that alows me to plug in 2 controlers, but if you have one that can only plug in one, that's ok too.

Heres a pic of what it might look like. There are different kinds of them, and they come in different colours to.

Anyone have one?

wel Aaron if in that mess of a site (I'm too lazy to hunt through it) you could find an example of a controller with schematics or this is how I did it example I'm sure I could wire them up.....

You already told me about that site. I just want a simple conector that alows me to use my Playstaion controlers on my pc, via the usb port.

Gee, I've even found it on Ebay for a "buy it now" price of $6.99 for the one that I can hook up 2 controlers to......BUT, they want another $10 for s/h.....and that's only for the US (US dollars)......s/h is more for Canada.

Probably be near $40+ Canadian by the time I get it.

I might as well go to a pawn shop and get a used joystick that already has a usb plug on it.


(But I really wanted to use the Platstaion ones) oh well

I have the purple one in that picture. I got it from Future Shop in Kitchener.....but I got it awhile ago.

If you call places though they could probably order one for you.

Mine was made by Cicero.
