Wireless controller adapter

Post by omig »

I was thinking in getting a wireless controller for my xbox but i cant seem to find any, so i found this adapter http://dx.com/p/ps2-playstation-2-to-xb ... rter-24856 and i would instead use a wireless ps2 controller.

has anyone had any experience with this adapter and know it would work with a wireless ps2 controller?
thanks

Yes I have had great success using one of those and using Logitech PSII wireless controllers. Everything works perfectly, just like an Xbox Logitech controller but with a still widely available brand new and cheap PSII Logitech wireless controller. Not suitable though for games because the PSII controller doesn't have "exactly the same" button combo but for XBMC use, it is perfect.

Does anyone know if this controller might work or what would be required to make it work?

The usb adapter could be wired internally or used with an xbox -> USB adapter.

It comes with a disc so i dare say it needs drivers which wont work with XBMC, probably get an xbox logi wireless for less than that.
