Why do wireless PS2 controllers stop working after some days?

[Windows_10_User]

So, I ordered two different wireless PS2 controllers (this one and this one) but they stopped working after some days. Should I just stick to the DualShock 2?

Better off using ps3 or ps4 controllers if you want to use wireless controllers.

Are you sure they work fine?

Positive, brook is a well known company. I own 3 of them with no issues. First time setup you connect to usb after that they are wireless.

For how long do you use them? Do you use DualShock 3/4 on the PS2?

I have used both ps3 and ps4 controllers using them. ps3 controller is the dual shock 3 with six axis built in and with ps4 i used both the launch model dual shock 4 and the updated version 2 that came with ps4 slim models. The main ps3 controller i have not tried with it is the six axis only controller, the ps3 controller that was made before dual shock 3.

These days i mostly stick to using a ps4 controller. Had 2 of them for almost 2 years now and the 3rd converter for about 6 months.

What about DualSense?

I personally have not tried that controller but here is a video showing that it works.

If you use OPL you can use a regular Bluetooth adapter to connect any Dualshock 3 and 4 to PS2 totally wireless.

How can that be done? What about DualShock 3/4 sensitivity, input lag and running discs?

I had a DreamGear Lava Glow wireless PS2 controller that served me well for as long as I had it, but I'm inclined to agree that an adapter with a newer first party controller is a much better solution.

Do you mean an adapter with a DualShock 3/4 or DualSense?

What do you do if using an mc2sio?

 

[godreborn]

Nm, I got confused.

 

[AkikoKumagara]

What do you mean by that, an adapter with a DualShock 3/4 or DualSense?

Yes, exactly. The thing other users have suggested above is going to be the most reliable solution.

What's the DualShock 3/4 sensitivity and input lag?

Sensitivity and input lag are fine considering brook converters are made to be used for professional tournaments.

This is an alright option if you only use opl but converters work for both actual disc and opl.

No problem using it with mc2sio.
