Brook Wingman PS2 Starry Blue Converter - Special Retro Consoles Converter for XB Series X|S, One, 360, Elite 1&2 and PS5/PS4/PS3, NS Pro Controller on PS2/ PS1/ PS Classic Consoles (Starry Blue)

I got this to utilize a PS5 controller on my Playstation 2. It does allow for pressure sensitive button functionality, but the shoulder triggers (L2 and R2) don't have a lot of play between light press reading and full press reading. Playing Turismo 4, you can see if you just barely get any pressure on the trigger, it will recognize a half press, but any further and it's reading 100%. I'd been used to the amount of trigger tracking in GT7 that it's really difficult to use the R2/L2 triggers for accelerator/brake in GT4. IT DOES WORK THOUGH. I play wired directly to this adapter from the PS5 controller and I get zero latency and full functionality. This is a FANTASTIC invention.

Excellent! This has worked flawlessly, allowing me to use my PS3 controllers for my PS2, which has been a dream come true! Amazing product, couldn't be happier with it!

So you're probably reading this because you're doing your consumer research, and asking "Why does it cost twice as much as the 8bitdo adapter that does the same thing?" Because the Brook supports pressure sensitive buttons. Sony never made a wireless Dual Shock 2, so using a Dual Shock 3 controller on your Playstation 2 is the only way to have that functionality with an OEM controller, and this adapter is the only way to make that happen. Shor and skinny: If you want to use a wireless Sony made controller with your PS2, you need one of these.

Looks so sick on my PS2 Phat!! I love these things. The PS2 is my favorite console and the ps4 controller is my favorite controller, now i bet to combine the two!! So easy to use, high quality, immediately connects. The most quality wireless ps2 experience at a very affordable cost!

I’ve only tried two adapters so far, but this one works so well with my PS3 controller, it feels as if I’m playing with an original PS2 DualShock. I’ve also tried it with my PS4 controller, which works fine, but having the use of the analog face and shoulder buttons with the PS3 controller makes it so much better to play the racing games that don’t allow remapping to the triggers. My only complaint is that plugging in the PS3 controller to the adapter itself will not charge the controller. And because of the way the charging protocol works on the PS3 controller, I have to plug it into my computer to charge it. It also fits the design of the console and the memory cards so it blends right in. In my opinion, this a pretty premium product for the price.

My first thoughts when getting the Wingman was that I had made a mistake as when I opened it the 'image' on the converter was a cheap sticker and the plastic felt cheap too. I bought for my PS2 SCPH-39001 and when I first plugged it in along with my PS5 controller the light on the converter didn't come on and I thought I had a DOA/scam product as I grabbed a PS4 controller and that didn't work either. Took a look at the listing and found a comment about connecting another USB micro to the adapters USB micro slot as it may not be getting enough power from the port. I did so from the USB port on my PS2 and it worked immediately with my PS5 and PS4 controllers. Word of caution, the mirco port on the Wingman is shallow so there is no solid 'click' or connection so the USB micro end feels a bit loose. I ordered a pair of these and with my version of the PS2 fat a pair of 6 inch micro cables will work to reach the port and hopefully be secure enough that normal play should be acceptable. Overall thoughts, I wish they just included a short micro cable for as pricey as one adapter is and as cheap of as it feels that would have made me feel a bit better about this purchase. However they do work and I have been enjoying playing my old PS2 games with modern Playstation controllers so I guess if you can stomach $80 for a pair of these plus another $10 for some cables it's a good investment.

I'm absolutely adoring this item right now! I wanted a wireless controller to use on the PS2 in our bedroom (to not make a circus from a cord), and at first I tried an off brand PS3 controller that I had issues with, but my PS5 controller connected easy! I do have to mention I rewatched the beginning part of the store page video multiple times, but currents meds give me confusion 😅 but knowing the difference between the white, blue, & green lights is important as to WHY they appear. I have not messed with turbo or remapping, as I am not too interested in investigating that far. I love not having to worry about buying a quality used PS2 controller anymore- I can use new technology. I swear my movement in Resident Evil Outbreak felt so smooth upgrading to the PS5 controller, even after the first play. Highly recommended, especially if you want a more comfortable or weighted controller.

Primarily purchased for finally being able to use an Xbox controller on Playstation 1/2. I love the Playstation console, and games - but have always hated the Playstation Dualshock controller. Good luck finding an acceptable functioning PS2 Dualshock in 2022. The last Brook PS2 controller converter had issues connecting a wired Xbox controller - but this new version 2022 product has no such problems. It is also advertised to be compatible with nearly all USB controller solutions on the market. I have personally only tested and used the XB1 and Xbox Series Controllers with this adapter. I was most curious if these devices add any discernible input lag. I tested a wired Xbox Series controller and Xbox One controller on Playstation 2. I tested playing highly sensitive input games: Hot Shots Golf 4, DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou, Psyvariar 2, Outrun 2 Coast 2 Coast, and Ace Combat 4/5/Zero. Im happy to say I detected no noticeable input lag. Perfect shots on Hot Shots, and a few No Miss on DoDonPachi. Using the superior asymmetrical analog stick layout of the Xbox controller on the PS1/2 is the definitive controller solution for the console for my tastes but there are 2 points of interest to take note: 1. For the small amount of pressure sensitive button dependent games - its tough to gauge exactly how well this translates to other controllers. For example in Gran Turismo 4, the pressure sensitive buttons were used for gas and brake. Of course analog triggers were not implemented in the PS2 generation. When using an Xbox controller you can map gas and brake to the analog triggers. But the timing is finicky - it registers near maximum input with only a small fraction of a trigger pull. Long story short - the small amount of pressure sensitive button focused games dont translate as well as you would think to analog triggers of modern controllers. 2. The remap function of this adapter only allows you to remap one button at a time. In Ace Combat's case - PS1/2's R1 is set to Xbox's RB and R2 is set to RT. I needed both triggers and bumpers swapped when using an Xbox Controller - 4 different buttons. This device does not allow that many buttons to be remapped at one time as of the time of posting this review. I had to look into reprogramming controls with OPL - and thru that method I WAS able to swap both triggers and bumpers. Overall for my specific setup - this product is a dream come true. Finally having a massive amount of quality modern USB controllers compatible with the Playstation 1/2. No more being forced to use a crappy Dualshock controller ever again.

It's compatible with a PS4 controller. You do need the use wired cable at first then after you can use it wireless. I works perfectly please read the instructions what come with the box

Perfekt!

Unfortunately, it is not comparable to the Retro 8bit product. The connection drops some times, and this is annoying because it is unstable. Tried the XBOX ONE, Series, PS4, and PS5, and the same situation.

The wingman 2 is seamless in its operation. I have a ps2 slim and used a ps5 controller. It connected instantly with the wire for the first setup and afterwards its can be used wireless. I played DBZ budokai 3 and not once did it lag. Amazing product.

I couldn't find any lag test results online, so I was a little sceptical of the product when I bought it. I'm pleased to report that at least with the official PS5 controller, it works exceptionally well! I play retro fighting games competitively and have tried my hand at speed running in the past - stuff which involves 1 frame links and tricks, so I'd consider myself pretty sensitive to input latency ('lag'). It's genuinely so responsive I couldn't tell the difference. I played for hours and hours over the weekend, including games like guilty gear, mvc2 and gitaroo man. Either I'm getting old and slow, or in this setup with the PS5 controller it is essentially lagless. In any case I don't think the brook wingman will ever be the bottleneck causing lag problems in your setup. I haven't had it long, so I can't speak to its longevity. Functionally this gets a perfect score from me. Other major perk - it is *really* easy to pair with most controllers. It truly is a plug and play device, which counts for a lot in retro gaming. So yeah, I would whole heartedly recommend one of these, and can vouch for its performance with the PS5 controller. Looking forward to testing it with different fight sticks and such too!
