DIY PS2 Controller to USB

The Sony PlayStation 2 controller does not have a standard USB plug, but it can still be used on a PC. While a skilled technician can convert the PS2's cable to a USB cable, the average person can use an adapter to achieve the same result. As of July 2010, the adapter costs around $10. Before playing any game using the adapter, you must install the drivers on the installation disc included in the packaging.
