Update the firmware from the 8bitdo website if you're having problems with buttons, toggles, lag, etc. Did not work properly right out of the box (despite the update in the log being recent!), but after a firmware update, the PS5 controller works well on the PS2. Bought this for my mom for Christmas -who isn't tech or search engine savvy despite being a gamer- and the left toggle wouldn't let you move forward, the right toggle wouldn't let you look back, and there was a bit of lag between button presses. I had to go online to find the manual and set it up for her. She still asks for my help pairing it 😅 she'll have to learn by the time I move out! I occasionally have to unplug it and plug it back in to pair - not a big deal since it needs to be charged (it usually pairs on the first try though). But otherwise, it's great and a good buy and she's back to playing the OG Rarchet and Clank games! Read more

Best thing for ps2 and very easy to use Read more

Works plug and play on my ps2 slim with an Xbox one controller, all my racing games requiring dual shock 2 work with this thing. Read more

Instructions on back of the box are too vague and I couldn't connect my controller at first. Scanned the qr code on box where I found better instructions to connect my ps5 controller and it worked. Was close to buying a new original ps2 controller which go for around $100 and decided to give this a try. Read more

Quickly pairs with Dualsense controller. No noticeable input lag. Simple and easy to use. Taking one star off because of the fit. On a PS1 the dongle requires a lot of force to insert and even more to remove. Oddly though it doesn't require as much force to insert/remove on a PS2. Read more

Very happy with this receiver. Works flawlessly with a PS5 dualsense controller and I had no issues connecting it. Breathed a second life into my PS2 console without worrying about sourcing an OEM controller. Read more

I don't like raving about products, but 8Bitdo knocked this one out of the park. Opened the package, then plugged it into my computer with the included USB-C to A adapter. Navigated to the company's updates page, downloaded and installed the firmware update. Powered on my PS2, plugged in the device, hit the button to start pairing, then paired a controller. Booted up a game and my ps4 controller worked flawlessly! This took about 5 minutes total! I think waiting on the PS2 to boot a game took the longest amount of time in the process. Read more
