How to Connect a PS2 Controller to a PC

Connecting a PlayStation 2 controller to a PC requires the use of a PS2-to-PC USB adapter. These small, cheap and effective adapters are all "plug-and-play" devices, eliminating the need for installation discs or any other tinkering. Once connected, you can configure the PS2 controller to work with any game or application that supports USB controllers. These adapters will also work for other PS2 peripherals, such as racing wheels, guitars and dance mats.
