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 × analog sticks (8-bit precision)
  • 8 × pressure-sensitive buttons: , , ×, , L1, R1, L2, R2
  • 4 × pressure-sensitive directional buttons (d-pad): , , ,
  • 5 × digital buttons: L3, R3, 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
Instructions[citation needed]
  1. Plug-in the desired controller and let Windows install any default drivers if needed.
  2. Download the DualShock XInput Wrapper.
  3. Extract the ScpServer folder inside the root directory of the main Local Disk location.
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

Run ScpServer\Binaries\SCPDriver.exe and install the driver.

Windows 7[citation needed]
  1. Download and install the Xbox 360 Controller Drivers.
  2. Run ScpServer\Binaries\SCPDriver.exe, check the Force Install checkbox and install the driver.
Windows XP and Windows Vista[citation needed]
  1. Run ScpServer\Binaries\SCPDriver.exe, check the Force Install checkbox and install the driver.
  2. Download and install the Xbox 360 Controller Drivers.

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.

Re-maps all the buttons as you need.
Allows 2 players to play at the same time.
Supports pressure sensitive face buttons.

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.
