PS2 Controller to USB

I'm looking to use a PS2 controller for my PC's until/if Sony releases official drivers for the PS3 controller. Can anyone recommend a good PS2 controller to USB converter and a respectable site to buy it from? I'd just go buy a wired 360 controller but I like the feel of the Playstation controllers better.Thanks.

there are drivers for the PS3 controllers already, otherwise you could get a PC controller thats shaped like a PS2 controller?

Many of those-like logitech's one...Or like me cheap knock off-lacks rumble but it does the job button wise.But an xbox360 one would do better-most controllers these days have the same foot print and work the same-plus most vista/windows games reccomend them.If you could be bothered shelling out for one that is.

Actually theres far more PS2 style controllers than xbox360 style, which is a crap knock-off of the dreamcast controller anyhow.

Oh I meant the real 360 controller XDBut quite true about ps2 shape.BTW-everyone knows it was a evolved/knock off of the snes controller but with sticks and extra buttons.:D

There are drivers online for PS3 controllers. Ironically, I use the PS3 controller for Halo. I like that control style best. I forgot the download link, but you can easily DL the drivers off a site that was "Google'd" and then configure it using the Game Controllers program on Windows OSes.

Thanks for the replies guys. The only reason I'd rather use a Playstation controller is the D-pad. I'd be mostly gaming emulation on my laptop pre-PSX so I'd not really have any use for the analog sticks too often. Every 360 controller I've ever used has had problems with the D-pad like having to push really hard to get the contacts to register or the angle's would be off kilter as in pushing up-right and having it go either strictly up or right. And the Motioninjoy drivers for the PS3 controller have been a pain in my ass since trying them. Never worked right for me.But if there's a good controller with a solid D-pad I'll be all in.

Just get those cheap logitechs that have some analogs, but with great d-pads, IMO. Buttons are colorful and well labelled, and have shoulder buttons. I dunno what their models are called exactly, but those Logitech ones are great, whether it's for retro gaming or just to play games not meant for PC (like sports games).
