Hello People,

I know I'm about 10 years behind, but just purchashed a PS2 a few weeks ago!! Found this site - looks cool and very useful :-) Please forgive me, in advance, if I ask a lot of questions, but I've never owned a playstation!

I'd like to buy another joystick (as the PS2 only came with one and my local EB wouldn't throw another one into the package!). ALthough the one PS2 gives you is ok, can anyone suggest an even more user friendly joysitck? (I've played the Deamcast and liked their joystick, espcially the R1 and L1 buttons at the front). Any joysticks for the PS2 similar??

Cheers
LL

Nearly all the third party pads will be modelled around the sony design. But you can get slightly bigger pads, with bigger grips e.t.c

My advice- Stick to the Sony one, you'll soon get used to it.

i agree with pro, the third party controllers are also modelled round the PS2 official dual shock

Ok, thanx. It's just the PS2 jostick doesn't seem to fit so comfortably in the hand. Perhpas it's best it's new. I prefer something slightly bigger.

Hmm, i think most third party pads are mainly modeled around the official Sony Dual Shock two. There are some that have varied models but you will have to look around to find one that suits you, there is a good selection on this very site.

However, it think it would be better if you got use to the pad that you have, as most of the games are best designed for the use of it.
