You’ll even have vibration on titles that support it, and you don’t have to worry about any further setup. You can unplug it and from then on it will pair with the adapter as long as the console is on. Once you pair a controller with the Brook adapter, you’re good to go. Once attached, hit the PS button on the controller and it will pair with the adapter. After that, just connect a PS3 or PS4 controller to the adapter using a USB cord. When your console powers on you’ll notice a red LED glowing on the adapter. To use the Brook USB Adapter on your PS1 or PS2, you need to make sure the switch on top of the adapter is switched to “PS2.” Then you just have to plug it into the controller port on your system and turn it on. You can buy it on Amazon or eBay, and it retails for $39.99 at the time of writing. The Brook USB Super USB Adapter lets you use PS3 and PS4 controllers on both the PS1 and PS2. Thankfully, there’s an extremely affordable dongle available now that makes pairing a PS3 controller with PS1 or PS3 a snap.

This meant for years you really didn’t have the choice if you wanted to control your older Sony consoles wirelessly. Unfortunately, Sony never released an official PS3 to PS1 or PS2 adapter. Since it has the same classic profile as the DualShock 1 and 2, the DualShock 3 is an excellent way to control a PS1 or PS2 without annoying cords while still keeping the same feel as using an official controller. The best way to ditch the cords on a PS1 or PS2 is to simply use a PS3 controller.
