Thank you in advance.

Regards,
For those wishing to use a PS2 controller, I suggest you check out this supported device:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=6951

Layout looks familiar, eh? You can find these on eBay for around $13, shipping included. I believe Mike C. claims the action on these sticks is very repeatable and reliable.

Some may still see value in finding a way to make the PS2 controller work with the chicklet, since so many people already own PS2 controllers. In order for this to work, however, the community would have to identify a standard PS2 to USB adapter device that everyone agreed to purchase and use, and someone would have to pay the Chicklet guys $25 and send them a PS2 controller/USB adapter combo so they can determine if that arrangement is compatible with their device and program the Chicklet firmware to recognize it.

Since you'd have to buy something anyway, and the PS2-esque Logitech controllers are readily available online, I suggest people consider purchasing those and forget about the PS2. It's not like Logitech is some third-rate manufacturer of gaming controllers. They usually turn out a quality product. And remember, by not having to use a PS2/USB adapter, that's one less device in the chain that can fail, and your controls won't be as cluttered.

And then there's always the XBOX360 wired controllers, you Playstation fanboys!!!
