Key points
- Main difference between the Dualshock 1 and 2 controllers is that the face buttons are pressure sensitive on the Dualshock 2.
- Requires adapter to connect to PC. Not every USB adapter supports pressure sensitive buttons.
- Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see Windows) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.
- PS2 emulators for PC support pressure sensitive buttons. DualShock 2 support is still in progress.
Inputs
- 2 × clickable analog sticks (8-bit precision): L3, R3
- 4 × pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons: L1, R1, L2, R2
- 4 × pressure-sensitive action buttons: △, ○, ×, □
- 4 × pressure-sensitive directional buttons (d-pad): ↑, ↓, ←, →
- 3 × digital buttons: sᴛᴀʀᴛ, sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ, ᴀɴᴀʟᴏɢ
Controller variations
- The Analog Controller (SCPH-10520) is a variant of the DualShock 2 controller, lacking force feedback.
Use with PC platforms
Windows
XInput wrapping
- Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.
DualShock XInput Wrapper
- Play.com USB adapter only
Step One

Step Two
- Make sure to follow these steps in the right order, choose the appropriate system from the list.
- Do not erase the ScpServer folder after installing the wrapper, if needed it can be hidden instead.
Windows 8 and Windows 10 |

Steam
- Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
- Do not support pressure-sensitive face buttons.
Steam Link compatibility
- Works natively over Mayflash PS2 Controller Adapter.[1]
- Buttons are mapped incorrectly and must be remapped manually.
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit △ and disable video and audio streaming.
- Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Hardware
Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro
- Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play. It’s ready to use right out of the box, no special software required with the exception of firmware updates.
- Supports pressure sensitive face buttons.
- Supports vibration (Rumble/Force Feedback).
- Hot swapping capabilities. Auto-pause if controller is disconnected.
- Easily upgradable via firmware update.
- Future proof /expandable (all that is required is a new cable and a firmware update).
- Each port is independently upgradable so they can run different firmware’s if needed.
- The 4-play requires press reset button (that is next to the HDMI port) after connecting controller.
- In the older firmware and explained in the 1.0 manual, user can assign only 4 pressure sensitive buttons to the dial, slider, z axis, z2 axis. However the 2.0 firmware has the ability to read all 12 pressure sensitive buttons but it needs to be utilized by dedicated application[2].
Mayflash 3 in 1 Magic Joy Box
- Just plug and play, no driver needed.
- Only for one player.
- Supports only pressure-sensitive axis, which can be assigned to two from 12 pressure-sensitive buttons (2 triggers or two from 12 pressure sensitive face buttons). Assigning two buttons as "analog", locking other buttons in "digital" mode.
- Compatible with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8 32 bit and 64 bit, Windows 10.
- Support all buttons on the game controller.
- Support both digital and analog modes (for pressure sensitive buttons), three players can play simultaneously (but requires Xbox and GameCube controllers).
Mayflash Super Dual Box Pro
- Converts any PS/PS2 game controller for use on PC. Compatible with Windows XP/2000/ME/9X.
- Works with PS/PS2 gamepads, steering wheels and dancing mats.
- Supports only pressure-sensitive axis, which can be assigned to two from 12 pressure-sensitive buttons (2 triggers or two from 12 pressure sensitive face buttons). Assigning two buttons as "analog", locking other buttons in "digital" mode.
- Supports Auto-fire function for all buttons via PC interface.
- Re-maps all the buttons as you need.
- Allows 2 players to play at the same time.
- Supports pressure sensitive face buttons.
- Supports vibration (Rumble/Force Feedback).
Support in games
- Games with generic DirectInput support are supported by the controller, however button placements may be out of place and need to be rebound. Refer to game-specific articles for rebinding support.
Games with pressure sensitive face buttons support
For a list of games, see List of games that support Pressure-Sensitive Face Buttons.
- Pressure-sensitive face buttons are not recognized by PC games yet.
- Emulators like PCSX2, RPCS3 and Cxbx-Reloaded do not recognize pressure-sensitive face buttons from DualShock 2 yet. Controller will require DualShock 3 emulation to be recognized.
- See GiantBomb's List - Games where pressure sensitive buttons play an important part.
Games with DualShock button prompts
- Please note, that this is only list for games that offer DualShock button prompts.
- Some may require use of DualShock 4 emulation. Refer to game-specific articles for details.
