This looks like a pretty good setup, especially since my Hori Ex2 Turbo broke recently. It's just too bad that they are out of stock right now; I hope that changes soon.
k ignore everything i said before. it was the controller. i replaced it and it works fine : ) so now my problem is that there is a lot of friction on the dpad and the analog sticks keep getting in the way. but like i said these are my problems. : )
i am thinking a little bit of both. But now i am covering my thumb just so it can slide more easily : )
Got mine today, works fine but getting used to the ps2 controller has been a bitch lol, is it better to individually hit the d pad buttons or roll over them for inputs?
Big time con with this product is that if you barely even touch the analog stick, it'll make your character walk forward or backward continuously until hit the opposite direction softly until the character stops. This is a big problem because it's easy to accidently make contact with the left analog stick, and even the lightest touch will send the character on it's endless walk. I'm gonna have to open up my PS2 control and remove the analog stick covers real soon. Very annoying when you're in the middle of a match and your character is forced to walk. Other than that, this thing works exactly as advertised. Buttons are mapped perfectly and the inputs are just are sensitive as they are with an X-Box controller. Recommended, just be ready for the problem listed above. It's best to just roll.
Man, I'm so psyched for this thing, but they've been out of stock for at least the last 2 weeks. Also, a question: Can you just use a PS1 controller without the analog sticks?
I actually didn't have to take them out after all. Once you play on it for about three days you'll be able to avoid the stick without a thought. I think I spoke too soon, though I do still believe it is the ONLY con to the converter, but if it remains a problem for people just go on YouTube and see how to remove the stick covers. There's loads of videos on it there, it's very simple. And by the way, they're in stock now. The company(Ryan Ahn?) was on vacation and now they're back in business. I ordered mine a day after they got back and received my package a week and a day later. That's impressive for South Korea to Indiana with a $2 dollar shipping method. eTokki is run very well and professional.
Are they? I've been checking every day for the last 10 days, and the checkout page still tells me the item is out of stock *shrug*
Same here, can someone come up with another link, or shop to buy from? REALLY want to order one of these.
Jaquio is right, they are currently out of stock. Rest assured, more will be in. These converters are in high demand since they're the best of best. It says the wait is about 15 days. When they get back in stock, I'm buying another just to have on reserve.
Indeed--I suppose I'm just being impatient. I was hoping they'd be in stock by now, because when i emailed him about the availability 2 weeks ago, he responded that they would be restocked within the week. However, with the high quality and popularity of the items sold by etokki, I imagine that the owner is a busy fellow.
I just ordered one from Focalprice.com, somewhere in shoryuken they say thats where he gets his from.. just a heads up. they shipped it yesterday too
So after looking through all 9 pages of xbox accessories on focalprice.com, I don't see it anywhere on the site. It's blowing my mind how hard it is for me to find this converter.
http://www.focalprice.com/GB054W/PSPS2_to_Xbox360_Converter_White.html Either that is it or it is a duplicate. I ordered one and also this one that works with PS3 controllers. It has hilariously bad packaging but it seems to work good according to others. http://www.focalprice.com/GXB62B/Converter_Adaptor_Cable_for_Xbox_X360_to_PS2_Black.html
Thank you sir; it appears my quest is finally over. My Hori Ex2 Turbo broke a few weeks ago, so I've been chomping at the bit for a new pad. No idea why I couldn't find the converter under their Xbox peripherals or through keyword search, though.
I havent seen the package but it looks exactly the same that other converter is not very good, from some people i know that have tried it. Some say ok, some dont. thats a no buy imo.
According to shoryuken.com (who the etokki webmaster is a member of), it's the exact same converter. The product is manufactured by a company named Tinybee, and is distributed by focalprice and etokki.
For anyone new reading through this thread, eTokki.com is back in stock on these converters. And I'm 100% sure because I just put in an order for my back-up.
