PS2 controller with swap-able Dpad/analog stick?

Post by Kyosho »

I was at Gamestop recently, and was talking to one of the employees about how I hate the position of the analog stick on the Dual Shock, and that I was annoyed the PS3 controller would have the same layout. He then told me there was a third party controller for PS2 where you could swap the D-pad and the left analog stick. That they were held in place magnetically. I thought that it probably didn't work too well and told him that, but he said that he'd tried one and it seemed like a decent controller. He said he hadn't seen one in a while and couldn't remember who made it or what it was called.

Anyone here familiar with such a controller? Know the name/manufacturer? I'd love to get one.

I saw one of those at Hastings, I can't remember the brand or model though. I briefly considered it for portable use, but I figured it wouldn't be much easier than a regular PS2 controller to hack up.

Yeah I just saw it on voodoo721's page before I read your post. I assume that's where you saw it as well, judging by the image host. Heh heh. Cool. Thanks for that link as well.

I suppose it would be a breeze to incorporate those buttons into a case - just connect to the contacts. However, I'm seeing a $20 price tag on average.
