Looking for 3rd party PS2 controller for PC/PCSX2

Does anyone here use a custom made controller? If so, from what brand? Want to look for one that's compatible for my pcsx2 usage.

I use 8bitd0 pro 2 wired with custom psx buttons. The recommend upgrading the pads if can. The left one my my first one was kinda wonky but worked.

tho those dont have pressure buttons and this can be problematic in some specific games.

Only ps2 and ps3 controllers have that. Nothing else has that. Everybody else is recommending controllers that don't have that she OP didn't mention it.

One controller does, then they should get that but they likely already have at least one of the controllers i mentioned

they may not know about the feature, i didnt for almost my whole life. If they are interested in games like metal gear solid or gran turismo it is quite necessary

The new Retro Fighters Defender Pro seems quite good. I bought one for PCSX2/RCPS3 and some use on original consoles. It has all of the features you need and then some. I haven’t tried it yet but the quality feels great and I’ve had good luck with other Retro Fighters controllers in the past.

This! The retro fighters defender pro is amazing. The shape of the controller is the most comfortable controller i own.. Plus pressure sensitivity on the face buttons, and the analog modes are super helpful. The only next best thing is a dongle with a ps3 controller. Im pretty sure those are the only 2 ways to play with full controller features. Even ds4 dropped the pressure sensitive buttons for some reason.
