Retro Fighters Defender Next-Gen PS1 - PS2 - PS3 - PS Classic - Switch & PC Compatible Wireless Controller, Gray

Its not the most premium feeling controller, but its not bad. The versatility is really nice, connecting to PC was fast and easy same with my Steam Deck. Connected to the Switch no problem but did not wake the system, so keep that in mind. Playstation 1 and 3 worked seamlessly like original controllers.

All the buttons are mapped perfectly out of the box. (ps2)

Para PS2 muy bien, pero para varios juegos de PS1 el recorrido de los análogos son largos y demasiados sensibles

Worked instantly on my ps1! Love the feel of it, 10/10

I had problems with my first controller and Retro Fighters was kind enough to send me a free replacement which unfortunately had many of the same and new issues.

My main concern with this controller was whether or not the thumbsticks would be recognized properly by ATV Off-road Fury. By that I mean if in only input about 1/4 left or right steering I want it to show that incremental input on the screen and it ABSOLUTELY does! I had a couple cheap wireless PS2 clone controllers, but the thumbsticks acted more like the d-pad, meaning no matter how little input I entered, it was recognized on screen as though I threw the thumbsticks all the way right or left. This controller is GREAT! Honestly, the shape takes some getting used to from the PS2 official controller but thats the slightest of nit picks.

It’s adequate but certainly doesn’t feel premium. The plastic feels cheap, and the analog sticks have HUGE dead zones. Don’t even try to play a first person shooter or any game requiring high accuracy with this. Retro fighters are not known for their quality.

Background: I have used this product solely for PS2. Games I have tested it with: Tony Hawk 3, X-Men Legends, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, Simpsons Hit and Run, among others.

All my OEM ps3 controller either don’t work too great anymore or have awful battery life now, not to mention how uncomfortable they are. This controller works perfectly for all ps3, ps2 and ps1 games on the ps3. Only downside is the weird drivers install to play ps2 games on the ps3 for the controller and how light the controller is, but besides those two issue this is a pure upgrade to the original controllers.

My singular complaint is that L2 and R2 are sensitive enough to sometimes accidentally trigger them without realizing just by resting your fingers on the L2 and R2 and gripping them just enough to trigger them. Light touch is ok and most of the time its not a problem, so theyre not THAT sensitive, but accidental triggering can happen, as other reviewers have stated.
