Use Modern Wireless Controllers On PS2 And PS1 With 8BitDo's New Adapter
You can finally use a DualSense controller on your PS2 with this adorable new Bluetooth dongle from 8BitDo
The idea behind this is simple, as this dongle allows you to use modern wireless controllers on PS1 and PS2 consoles. That's right, you can dust off your original PlayStation or PS2, insert the dongle that's shaped to resemble a PlayStation memory card, and you can use a wide variety of contemporary controllers to play your retro games.
8BitDo says that the PS5 DualSense--which are currently on sale for $49 each--and PS4 DualShock controllers are supported, or if you feel like being heretical, you can use an Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Wii U Pro, or Switch Pro controller.
There is compatibility for nearly all of 8BitDo's own controllers as well and the V3 arcade stick (minus the Xbox version) will work with the dongle. As an added bonus, this dongle also works on PC, allowing you to easily connect your wireless controllers. 8BitDo has launched several new products in recent months, and if you're looking to get a controller for a console that few people remember, the 8BitDo Neo Geo CD is now available for preorder.
The company also has a mechanical keyboard releasing soon, that sports a design inspired by the NES and Famicom era, and also comes with two big programmable buttons.
