The Xbox controller and my huge Friend List are the two features of that system that keep me coming back. I love the UI as well, but it's slow as hell since it wasn't originally designed for it.
That being said, if I can find a 360 style controller for the PS3/PS4 I'd really appreciate it. Anyone know where I can find one?
[EDIT] I found one here on Amazon for $13. Does anyone have any experience with this one?
Costs for the starting, complete virtual reality package that includes the headset, audio, 2 motion controllers, and the platform:
(Complete here means full headset tracking, motion controllers for hand tracking, and some sort of headphone solution for audio)
|Oculus Rift | HTC Vive | Playstation VR
---|---|---|---
Platform | $850 PC | $850 PC | $350 PS4
Headset | $600 | $800 | $400
Controllers | $??? | $0 | $60 ($30x2)
Tracking | $0 | $0 | $45
Audio | $0 | $0 | $0
Total | $1450+++ | $1650+ | $875+
* For HTC Vive and PSVR earbud alternatives, headphones have a lot of price variation. Depending on the brands you get, generally the more you pay for your audio, the better your virtual reality audio experience will be. My virtual reality headphone-type (open, closed, in-ear, etc.) breakdown can be found here. I also highly recommend looking at Head-Fi's price recommendation list for good ideas on headphones to consider purchasing.
------------------
Quick, cheap PC with minimum Rift/Vive specifications that includes everything as if you're starting from absolutely nothing.

You can cut costs further by removing keyboard, mouse, monitor, and perhaps finding a way to get a discount on the operating system. You can also change the case, or the storage for something cheaper. You may be able to lower the power supply, but I don't recommend it. If you remove the OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you can cut about $160 off.

There are a few free VR games on the PSN store I believe.
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-ca/free-on-ps-vr/cid=STORE-MSF77008-PSVRFREEG
You need PS Move controllers to go with the PS VR. Don't think they come with them. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.ca/PS3-Motion-Controller-Standard-Edition/dp/B002I0J51U
You can get Little Big Planet online from the PSN store, and in pretty much any gaming store. It's kinda old, so im sure you can find used copies at say a EBGames easily.
Your new PS4 may have also come with a PS+ trial in the box. Start with that to see if you'd like to pick up a year membership. PS+ gives you 6 free games each month (2 PS4, 2 PS3, 2 Vita games), but you need to keep your PS+ membership to play them. If you stop the membership, you do not loose the games, you just cant play them until you re-subscribe. You also get extra sale prices on games.
Read the words above the price.
> MOVE NAVIG CONTR
Google tells me that it means "Playstation Move Navigation Controller"
Amazon has it for $22.88
Hi, I'm disabled as well (spastic CP) and while my disability isn't as severe as yours, I have had to deal with some of the same concerns you have over the course of my XIV career. While I can't provide advice pertaining to keyboard usage I might be able to point you in the direction of some alternative hardware setups that would make playing the game easier.
First I have a few questions about your particular case. Is your wrist movement limited to no flexion of the wrist, or can you also not flex your fingers? Can you "poke" with your left index finger AND your right index finger, or just the left? How are your thumbs: can you wiggle them back and forth at all?
Reason I'm asking is that if you can push a button with BOTH index fingers, and you can slightly move your thumbs, you can actually use a controller, with just those four fingers. You will have to tape it to your other fingers especially if you have no grip strength, or put it onto a surface. (If your problem is that you have no way to hold the controller and you need to rest it on a surface, look into getting the PC version of the game and an "aftermarket" gamepad such as the Logitech F310! or the Pro EX! With the PC version you can use drivers and input mappers to find the controller that works best for you, but if you can't hold it, I recommend the PRO EX--specifically because it has button style unexposed back triggers that are far less likely to fire if you have to rest it somewhere to use it.
Without modification, the back triggers are essential for playing XIV with a gamepad, and there is an option to make it so that your hotbars toggle, eliminating the need to hold them down to use your abilities. This option alone has made a night and day difference in my own ability to play the game. (Note: I used the PRO EX personally on the PS3 for several years, and it works on PC with an input mapper such as DS4Windows. I don't own a PS4 but it ought to work fine.)
You say you use a touchpad to click. Where is it located? What hand do you use for it? I have no experience with them, but you might benefit from something like a trackball, especially one with added buttons. Still, my own admittedly personal bias says that if you can find a way to make a gamepad work for you, it will open up the most amount of commands for your limited dexterity. Movement is also easiest on a gamepad because of the analog sticks, and it's crucial in higher end content just because of the sheer amount of AoE and mechanics, as others have said. Numlock/autorun might work but could get clumsy after a while--I say this as someone who's in your exact same boat as far as the left hand and the keyboard goes, and even with the mouse it was hard for me to WASD out of fire. I looked but can't find a click-to-move option, so there might not be one.
Classwise I would recommend starting with PLD for tank. Tanks in this game have the simplest rotations compared to DPS, and the slower combat speed means that you can focus more on holding threat and positioning the boss in leveling content. Until raid level fights, they also generally have the least amount of mechanics to react to. I main a tank for this reason.
If you want to play a DPS I suggest either of the current casters (BLM or SMN) depending on if you like being relatively immobile with long cast times, or WoW lock style DoTs, respectively.
I also would like to ask what kinds of specific problems/hurdles you are running into with the game--what kinds of functions are most difficult right now? There might be a way to streamline them via game options.
Ordinarily I would offer more class advice, but since everything is changing in three weeks I would suggest you to continue getting acquainted with the systems and try out different hardware systems, if possible.
Just use a controller in the left hand and a mouse in the right.

This is what I use in my left hand, and a Logitech G602 in my right.
Fine movement controller; Precision aiming.
Sony just needs to update this controller by giving it motion tracking.

Ooh, just found this. Looks very easy to make it work.

Demon's Souls is pretty cool if you're into the Dark Souls thing. I wanna recommend Vanquish, but I've heard that the 360 release is better. I'd highly recommend you get a remote. With the remote, a PS3 makes a damn fine Blu-Ray player with all the usual streaming services too. Also, the PS3 supports HDMI-CEC so if your TV also supports it, you can turn the TV on with the PS3, turn the PS3 off with the TV, use some of your TV's remote functions on the PS3, etc.
Problem solved.
Yes, but you'll also want to get the media remote to have better control over playback.
This would be better, and there are drivers for it.
Lets not forget about the Tournament Edition arcade sticks which are arguably the best stock sticks you can buy for a console, which are also produced by Mad Catz. They're sturdy, built with Sanwa parts (same as the Japanese Street Fighter 4 cabinets), and the dual mod a lot of serious fighting game players want - which allows it to work on both 360 and PS3 - is a cinch to install in the 360 TEs.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EX-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003VWXV50
My money is these guys
Actually, the PS3 has a bluray remote that uses bluetooth. It uses 2AAs and in my experience lasts for months.
$300 USD for a used ION kit? I'd just get an Alesis Nitro Kit instead.
You'll want the MPA if you do go that route as well as a small MIDI to MIDI cable.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549367856&sr=8-3&keywords=Midi+pro+adapter+ps4
I hate the PS3 controller because it causes my hands to cramp after an hour or so of playing. Personally i love the 360 controller, and i use it for playing on my PC. So i tried to buy a third party PS3 controller, and they all more or less are junk. Both me and my roomate spent around a month trying various controllers. Most of the third party PS3-360 controllers are junk, unfortunately.
http://www.amazon.com/computers-accessories/dp/B007SO06O6
Tried it, unfortunately it causes a rather noticeable and annoying input delay that would randomly happen. I remember playing Killzone 3 and there were times where my view would keep moving for a bit, after letting off the stick.
A similar problem occurred with Red Dead Redemption, where during the duels my targeting reticule would keep moving even after i let off the stick for less than half a second (it sounds like not much, but when you need some level of precision its extremely frusturating).
http://www.amazon.com/Turbo-BATTLE-Controller-Adapter-Playstation-3/dp/B006TSD9SM
Similar problems to the adapter above.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EX-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003VWXV50
A massive dead zone in the analog sticks along with a DPAD that was completely unresponsive.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Elite-Wireless-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B003V4AK8E
There is a massive dead zone in the analog sticks, and feels extremely cheap. The wireless also seems to drop out at random. However it is the only 3rd party PS3 controller with 360 layout that has SIXAXIS.
http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AP-1-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003IU01LC
Terrible, terrible controller. The analog sticks are so awful i just returned it right away.
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-FUS1ON-Tournament-Controller-PlayStation-3/dp/B0096KF7O4
I got to try this controller after it was lent to me by a friend. It worked worked really well, and i played through Killzone 2, and RDR without any issues. Unfortunately it is expensive and lacks SIXAXIS.
MadCatz also makes a MLG Controller for PS3, i tried it a couple of months ago. Overall i thought it was pretty great. But i have never seen it for sale in Canada.
Saitek also made a controller Cyborg V3 (that i can't find on amazon), that lets you flip the position of the analog sticks, but i can't find it anymore and they oddly seem to have completely switched to flight sim sticks.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Blu-ray-Disc-Remote/dp/B000M17AVO
This remote makes the PS3 really feel like a true home theater component. My wife uses Netflix on the PS3 every day but has never picked up the sixaxis controller. The DB/playstation remote sits next to the TV remote and looks right at home.
As for the complaints from ant2206 I have never experienced any of his issues and honestly I have NEVER owned a remote that had 'flush' buttons.
get new ps3eyes at amazon for 9 bucks
Pick up one of these: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Sharp-Shooter-3/dp/B002I0K622 (or two, if you have a friend to play with and another move controller)
Get this PARTICULAR gun attachment, not one of the pistols. Easier reloading and much more comfortable. Trust me.
And a copy of this: http://www.amazon.com/House-Dead-OVERKILL-Extended-Cut-Playstation/dp/B0053B7ICO/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1408458137&sr=1-1&keywords=house+of+the+dead+overkill+ps3
Best use of the Move to date.
FTW people keep messaging me that I am hacking. :)
(PS3 Adapter only works on Rock Band 4 in-game on PS4)
Other info:
For Nitro (if you go with it) the in-game notes Ride & Crash (Blue and Green cymbals) will be reversed. Not to worry the manual has guide on how to change them without just swapping cables.

Others:
Amazon has similar deals (a little higher, unfortunately, but I bet you'd save money on the gas.)
A PS Move has neither sticks nor Dpad. The Nav Controller has a stick and a Dpad, but it lacks positional tracking, so it's pretty useless for VR.
The official one is only like 14 bucks. That's the one I bought and it works great.
Why not use a PS2 usb adapter?
Yes.
Cheap
Less cheap
Moderate
Expensive
More expensive
I use this one without any issue.

Just get yourself this HDE PS2 to USB adapter and it'll work great for Clone Hero!
At most, all you'll have to do is bind the buttons in the main menu by pressing SPACEBAR. Then you should be all set to rock and roll.
I have about 300 hours in this one:
https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210711/dp/B017QORK8W
I've heard about plenty of issues with the Hori FC4, but not so much the Hori FC for PS4. Works great for both PC and PS4 (if you play PC but want to go to tourneys on PS4). I play Zangief and the Dpad has been churned hard but still works fine (it was stiff to start with). I pulled it apart to clean once and no issues since.
9.5/10 would recommend.
Honestly, the new Hori Fighting Commander
The MCZ fightpads have issues largely surrounding the DPAD.
I'm using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XB6FRPR
It works fine with all of the games and makes Beach Buggy 2 a lot easier and more fun.
On a budget, get the Retrotink 2x to upscale nicely and convert to HDMI. To plug those consoles into the Retrotink and get a good image:
For SNES and N64, you can solve together by getting this exact S-video cable as it’s commonly known for quality.
For PS2, get Sony’s official component cables or get HDRetrovision’s PS2 component cables found here .
I know OG Xbox component cables can be found from Microsoft, and I’ve read the cheap knockoffs are good.
I don’t know what you can do for Dreamcast.
You mean like this one? http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1458191529&sr=1-5&keywords=playstation+move
They did have a move controller with a thumbstick for PS3 but it didn't have tracking.
it would be nice for them to integrate the navigation controller into the move with a better battery life for a later product.
Let's hope you're on PS4. XB1 uses are left in the wind atm.
If so, pick up a MIDI Pro Adapter NOW. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/
The Alesis Nitro kit is a very nice entry-level ekit for 300. Works like a champ on both consoles.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0187KO8X4
Only other thing you'd need is a MIDI cable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000068NTU
This enhances your rock band experience 1000%
Any ekit with a midi-out port on the brain will work with the Midi Pro Adapter. The hitch is that many of the more inexpensive ekits have "midi-via-usb" ports that require a program running on a computer to convert the ekit's output to an input the Midi Pro Adapter can accept. If your midi-out port looks like this, you're good.
Once you have an ekit plugged into the MPA, it's as simple as setting the corresponding midi notes for a Rock Band config.
Also, if you're on Xbox One, you need the ridiculously expensive out-of-print legacy wired controller adapter to play with RB4. PS4 doesn't have this issue and can use the PS3 MPA just fine.
> will it recognise the difference between toms snare and kick?
Yes.
Your best bet is to get the Roll Limitless Adapter, an adapter made by a Rock Bad player who posts here. That's a little cheaper than the Official MIDI Pro Adapter, works better, and works whether your E-kit has standard MIDI or USB MIDI.
Looks like a PS Eye. What I wanna know is how it's living on the top of that monitor. The thing doesn't come with any sort of mounting.
Make a head tracker. Super easy to build and a fun little project.
Or buy a ready made trackir. The headpiece of the trackir is so shit though that some people actually build this to use with the track ir they bought.
Motion controller.

I don't know if this is of interest to you, but I play on PC with Mouse + PS3 Move Navigation controller. There are a couple of ways to get the controller to work but the easiest is to simply buy the Mayflash PS3 to USB adapter.
The Move controller is one handed, so you hold it in your off hand that would normally be placed on the WASD keys. For me, it's mainly a comfort thing.
The PS3 had a PS Move Navigation controller. I have one. I kept my Move controllers when I hears they were compatible with the PS4. I didn't know how I'd use them, but thought there was a reason. Then 1 day, PSVR was announced and released. The move controllers were compatible, but I've yet to see an example or compatibility for the Navigation controller with the PSVR... Just saying...
http://www.penguinunited.com/. I got it from Amazon
minor tweaking to settings required. Had it programed and working in less than 15 min. I'd say it is 90% of the "PC".
Well, Newegg has em for $40 and the last time I checked, Best buy had a bundle of GoW/Uncharted 1+2 with a controller.
Edit: Just got an e-mail from Amazon so here's some third-party controller deals.
Splitfish Dual SFX Evolution Wireless Controller for just $23. I own one and it works pretty good, no dead zones but the button layouts feels awkward. Rapidfire was fun to use, only tried it on Mass Effect 3 though. It feels like a monster when you hold it btw. Here's the video review of it.
HKS Racing Controller for $36.09. This is strictly for racing games and I've never really tried it. HKS Racing Controller Review.
PS3 Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter which is $49.88. I know you don't want to shell out too much money but if you want to play the PS3 with a keyboard + mouse, then here ya go. You can also check out the Tactical Assault Commander 3 but I wouldn't recommend it. Eagle Eye PS3 Review. Btw, if you do get the Eagle Eye, expect playing it like this. A better demonstration of Eagle Eye.
Play n Type Wireless Controller with Keypad for $38.03. I seriously don't like this controller, it looks terrible. Just get the official wireless keypad. It's like, what, $21 on Amazon? Here's the review of it, no such video demonstrating the actual typing though.
You can also check the third party controllers in Gamestop or Bestbuy like afterglow but I totally wouldn't recommend it. Like seriously. Shit's so bright even in daylight.
What you read regarding a RB2 brain was likely for XB1, this is all you need to use an e-kit on PS4:
How to set it up:
Buying a cheap stick is not always a bad idea. Usually what sucks about cheap sticks is the actual buttons and joystick parts - these are fairly easily replaceable with high quality parts. You used to be able to buy buttons from lizardlick.com but apparently they've gone out of business so you'd need to use something like Focus Attack.
So you can buy a cheap stick, order some Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons and joystick, and spend less for basically the same quality stick as the high end ones. It does take the effort of ordering and changing out the parts though (really not too hard) so the savings will have to justify the effort for you. It does let you customize your stick more though, and it will give you some experience if you want to mess with the stick in the future to deck it out or change out parts.
You can also dual mod them yourself or pay people to. Haven't looked into this so not sure if it would be cheaper to get a cheap stick + high quality parts + dual mod than just buying an already dual modded high end stick.
For example, my friend did all of this with this stick as a start. And yet he still hasn't changed the panel art...
I've been recommending (and probably always will) the MadCatz WWE Brawl Stick to anyone looking for a cheaper stick. As of time of this comment, its $45 on Amazon with free shipping if you use Prime. Its WWE branded, which isn't really that popular, I guess, so they're a little cheaper than the exact same (mechanically) Street Fighter IV stick.
The actual stick isn't perfect, and the buttons are a little iffy. Everything on it is standard, however, meaning you can drop the money a month or two down the road to upgrade the hardware to something a bit higher quality (Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons and Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK stick come to mind).
Edit: PS3 version is what I'm using. Works on PC with no third-party drivers or hacks. PC simply sees it as a generic USB controller.
This one :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096PSFBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_5YUtJXBQePz8Z
It seems to get the job done, but everyone on the subreddit has an opinion on what controller/adaptor is best, so your mileage may vary. The best part is it was only abkut $10.
http://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210671/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463530556&sr=8-1&keywords=fighting+commander
Got mine about a month ago, really good. I used to run a Saturn pad through a Mayflash adapter and x360ce. Even though the purported lag through Mayflash is low, I IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference in input accuracy. It actually blew my mind because for the first month of SFV, I thought I just sucked in my input execution and had difficulty landing some combos. Turns out it was just adapter lag.
HD Retrovision PS2 cables are $30 if you want to spend a little more
https://www.amazon.com/HD-Retrovision-PlayStation-Premium-Component/dp/B07H3F94ZN
Buy this instead: http://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210671/dp/B017QORK8W
If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy it from PlayAsia (make sure it's the same exact controller because there's another one released last year that has an adjustable D-pad that sucks) for $30 plus $8 in shipping.
I use these. They are great.
Wired Gaming Controller, EasySMX...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XB6FRPR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
That's composite, not component. Component cables have five RCA plugs (typically green, blue, and red for video, plus red and white for audio).
Yes, cheap unshielded composite cables often have a lot of audio buzz. Those cheap converter boxes are also garbage and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was causing problems as well.
The best solution would be to get a high quality component cable such as HD Retrovision's and a good component-to-HDMI converter like the RetroTINK-2X (supports 240p and 480i only), OSSC (supports all of the PS2's video modes), or Framemeister (supports all modes and has a really good deinterlacer for 480i). Cheaper converters will probably work, but won't process 240p games correctly and may have input latency or other issues.
If you're only interested in the camera, it's also available by itself for about $5.
From my own perspective, I could not dream of using Photoshop without having the keyboard within easy reach. I live and die by keyboard shortcuts. As you've found out, using Photoshop with only the pen can feel very inefficient when drawing or editing.
Some Surface and tablet owners use game controllers as a secondary input device in Photoshop. Different tools are mapped to the controller buttons.
A popular controller is the Playstation Move Navigation Controller
So for example, you could set it up like this.
The controller is wireless so it should be pretty convenient to use. But personally, I think it's just better to keep the keyboard attached.
Oh man, my heart goes out to you having to move and set everything up all over again. But that will make your cord management easier than trying to tear up your current setup I’d imagine. I recently did mine with cable zip ties and the occasional twisties from bread bags and whatnot. And used clear tape and white speaker wire for my Atmos height speakers mounted above my TV on the wall, so they almost look professionally done rather than speaker wiring draped everywhere.
I now keep my PSVR in this hard case for $20 that I think is well worth it. And then wrap the cord that goes to the box around the case itself (or detach it entirely and then store it inside the case and plug it back in when I’m ready to play more VR). Looking forward to the PSVR2 that is rumored to have wireless/ranged options. And then I have this old PS3 Move Charging Base that I tuck away behind my TV stand, so I can charge my two Moves through my big powerstrip. And I also hide my AIM controller underneath the stand, and charge it via my PS4/XB1X/home theater receiver’s USB port whenever needed. I’m looking forward to a future where everything charges and connects wirelessly!! Good luck with your move!
you can buy eagle eye converter for ps3 and you can play any game you want with mouse and keyboard.
insane advantage say the least.
It's a bigger investment but it'll give you a more flawless experience while playing drums.
[This is the midi adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM). You can plug any e-kit (electronic drum kit) into it, and use it to play Rock Band. I personally use [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Alesis-Nitro-Kit-Electronic-Cymbals/dp/B0187KO8X4/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1496718032&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=alesis+nitro)
It would likely be this one. I don't own one myself, and it's no MadCatz TE, but they make decent products in general, and if you're down to do an art mod, it could easily be a solid casual stick. It all depends on how seriously you want to take it-- no sense dropping $150+ on a stick if you're just going to play online at home for six months and then drop the game forever. If you're looking into playing competitively at tournaments? I'd recommend just saving up for a bit longer and buying the best stick you can. Most tournament players use either Hori or (most commonly) the MadCatz TE, but it's your call. Some even use pad successfully (see: Fanatiq). Good luck!
You want either one of these PS3 remotes. They work a hell of a lot better than the PS4 remote for sure.

if it helps, I have a 20L5 and over 30 consoles and here's what I did.
The reason for the two is I split everything into 2 categories
All RGB SCART consoles are being handled by a 'gscartsw' (scart switcher)
All Component consoles are being handled by a an 'Extron Matrix 300' (multi format switcher) get one cheap on eBay
When you're ready to handle the audio now let me know and will tackle that!
**edit forgot to add, some sellers market PS1/PS2 RGB SCART Cables as the same or interchangeable but they are not. They will either have no resistors, 400ohm resistors or 1000ohm resistors. The PS1 needs resistance but the PS2 does not since it is built into the console. So:
Check the descriptions of the cables for this info or ask the maker if it's not printed.
The safest thing is a properly-sized resistor on the 5V rail. If you don't do that, the PSU may appear to run fine without it initially and then randomly shut down, reset, etc., potentially ruining prints. You need to keep drawing 1-2 amps at 5V to keep things happy. If you really want ideas for things to put on 5V that are actually useful:

Here is my list I am quite proud of on the frugal side:
You can get a 6 DoF gun tracker without tinkering for $40 using the PlayStation®Move Shooter Attachment ($10.40), the PS Eye ($9.25) and the PS Move ($20.97). The one in the link is only 3 DoF and costs $155 (Top Shot Elite : $40, XBox 360 Controller wireless adapter : $15, YEI 3-space tracker : $100).
>$60 with no battery at all. No Gyro. Extra Batteries; Constant cost, more expensive.
Rechargeable batteries + charger: $20
Xbox One controller with battery pack: $75

Very literally less than $60 with battery and cable, in fact it hasn't been more expensive than 57.95 in a year http://camelcamelcamel.com/Xbox-One-Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge/product/B00YJJ0P1C
>$100, 10 hour battery life, requires expensive camera Playstation Camera: $60

It's average price is ~$50
http://camelcamelcamel.com/Playstation-Move-Motion-Controller-3/product/B002I0J51U
While the move controllers have an average price of less than $40 each.
That's what PS Move did. Worked great. Still have mine, wonder if I should try modding it and use it in Onward.
Like I said, I've been all about the light-gun games lately. They make up most of my Move games. I have Sports Champions (the one that came bundled) and The Fight, and then the rest of my games are light-gun games. I picked up a Sharpshooter and it really completed the experience. It's a high quality accessory, and it's much more entertaining to hold a replica gun than it is to point the Move controller at the screen. I was always a fan of arcade shooters, and this brings that feeling into your living room pretty well.
Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 are platform exclusive shooters with 3D support. I have played both, and both are worth their current non-release day price.
I have not played either of these games with the Playstation Move/Eye, Playstation Nav controller and/or the Playstation Sharpshooter. But you can. For a most un-desktop computer experience.

Siden Wii controller fungerer greit - Her er kanskje noe inspirasjon:
[Bruke Wii controller som mus] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2bxS3yC0a4)
System for å bruke kontrollere på tvers av konsoller/PC.
Enhåndskontroller beregnet på Playstation
Enhåndsmus
Edit:
Husk at et keyboard kun er en samling knapper, og en knapp er kun en metode for å midlertidig lage en krets mellom to punkter.
Dersom han kan bevege andre armen/fingre/tær/fot whatever på en kontrollert måte, er det mulig å lage til trykknapper som igjen er koblet til kontaktpunktene for knapper på et tastatur/numpad man ofrer.
Er ikke noe problem å ha flere tastatur og/eller mus på samme PC utenom at det kan bli kaotisk om man bruker dem samtidig.
Man kan kjøpe ferdige knapper, (finnes også store knapper å få kjøpt) eller lage selv med f.eks en fjæret plate og to små metallplater.
Har man laget til knapper som kan brukes, kan man så sette dem opp med macroer etc.
> Why the hell are they not using the "nunchuck" in the left hand to control movement? I think the game would be a lot less sluggish with proper analog movement.
The nunchuck(I'm assuming you mean the Navigation Controller) isn't trackable, so Sony likely telling developers to not rely on it.
As for sluggish controls...I feel like that's kind of the point. Golems aren't known for being super smooth and swift.
Maybe getting a Playstation Move Navigation Controller or just using half of a regular gamepad would open up a few different games you can play. Use Steams controller binding software to bind eveything you need to the right side. Could work for racing games or platformers.
Microsoft is also coming out with their own Adaptive Controller which should allow lots of customization to use a foot pedal and other things.
Edit: Another option would be a flight stick
I've been saying that since the Move controller came out for PS3, when you needed a special "Navigation controller" for the thumbstick. Why not just put a thumbstick on all Move controllers? Mind-bogglingly stupid decision.
You could buy one of these

You'd just need the PS3 Rock Band MIDI Pro Adapter. I'd also recommend the Nitro kit, btw. I use that one myself. If you wind up getting it and have any questions on using it with RB, let me know!
im pretty sure you could use this to plug in a real fender through midi
This is the go-to kit for those who just want to play RB

Finding an ION might be difficult and more expensive. Probably easier using an e-kit like the one I posted above. Any e-kit with 5 pin midi out should work. Just find one in your price range and ask questions in here if you have any.
Amazon still has them in stock https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_b3A4Bb5WGX06N
If your kit has midi out, you're playing on PS4, and you have this thing you should be all set as far as I know.
If you're on XBOX, you can still do midi out into an old Guitar Hero kit but you won't get access to Pro drums.
MIDI output refers to the electronic drum kit's ability to output signals via a MIDI cable. It's a standard in the music industry and really has nothing to do with video game consoles, but you'll need it for this scenario.
The connection looks like this:
http://cdn-data.motu.com/site/images/ultralite-mk3/midi-connections_01.gif
Ideally, any e-kit you choose would have that connection (technically there are workarounds, but if you're buying an e-kit anyway, just buy one that supports it). While most modern e-kits offer this form of output, some kits only offer it via a USB cable (which is not what you want).
Now, since video game consoles don't use MIDI connections for anything, that's where the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter comes into play. Since you're on PS4, you'd need the adapter for PS3, which is here:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-Adapter/dp/B0042B3EOM/
In addition to that adapter, you'd need a standard MIDI to MIDI cable, which can usually be purchased for a few bucks. The end result would be your e-kit -> MIDI cable -> RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter -> connected to the PS4.
Going back to you mentioning drum brains, that refers to the module that essentially ties an e-kit together. It's the computer (if you will) that processes all of the signals and sounds, and all of the pads and cymbals of your e-kit connect to it. Every e-kit will have a brain; generally, the more you pay for an e-kit, the nicer the module is and the more features it offers.
With the exception of the ION Drum Rocker (which was a specialized, stripped-down e-kit for use with Rock Band), no e-kits will natively support Rock Band, which is why you need the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter.
If you want to be able to simulate playing with the hi-hat open and closed, be sure to buy an e-kit that will allow you to modify the MIDI triggers for such a scenario. You'd need one that allows you to map the MIDI trigger for the hi-hat when the pedal is up to match whatever you're using as the blue cymbal, and at the same time it needs to allow you to have a different MIDI trigger when the pedal is down to match the yellow cymbal. Furthermore, you'd need to have the pedal itself not act as a bass pedal, or it would break your combo every time.

You can start on this one
It's not the best thing out there but it's not bad either, buddy of mine got this stick changed the artwork on it and replaced the stick with a balltop quicklink and the buttons with Crown buttons. (he wanted to try them out)
It will get the job done for getting used to using a fight stick and will last long enough for you to save up money for something better.
A few good places to look for information:
As for a game, Super Street Fighter IV AE would probably be your best bet. Find a character (I usually recommend Ryu to new players because you can learn all the basics like footsies, zoning, anti-airing, spacing, and so on and so forth) and play around a little bit. If you decide to step into the online arena, you're going to lose. A lot. Stick with it.
If you want to try out UMvC3, go for it. It is easy to learn, yet hard to master, and not as hard as it looks. To beginners, the game looks and seems extremely fast, but the game slows down as you get used to it.

Great for modding and starting. I bought mine today, should be here in two days.
One of these, Xbox360 CE is a must if you're going to use a DS2 on PC.
This Fighting Commander is great too. It's symmetrical unlike the FC4 and doesn't have the rotating D-pad (which I read people saying it wears out). I've got it and its nice.
No this controller is pretty bad and horribly designed, I promise you will hate it. Get one of the Hori Fighting Commanders, either the one with the rotating dpad or the one without if you aren't interested in that.
I have the one without the rotating dpad and its made my inputs so clean, I can definitely vouch for it.
Ill link them both if you wanna check them out. You may be able to find them cheaper on other sites but I prefer to just use amazon.

With your n64 the best it can do without a mod is Svideo. Nintendo branded cables are priced more as a collectors item. Thefoo sells an excellent version
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173606272632
You can step it up and rgb mod your n64. The hottest board even has a deblur function that helps clean up the image. The n64 in my experience does not scale nearly as well as other systems. Stick to Svideo unless you really love the system and will be putting a lot of time into it.
Psx and ps2 are much more simple. They both support rgb without a mod. Stick to YPbPr (component) on the ps2. It's nearly as good as rgb and much easier to get working. Get hd retrovisions ps2 cable. It's new and as good or better than the official cables. Official will run you as much or more and be used.
HD Retrovision PlayStation 2 (PS2) PlayStation 3 (PS3) Premium YPbPr Component Video Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3F94ZN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_c7L1BbSF0NXZ0
As for the psx there are several sites making that cable. Get a psx rgb scart cable. Make sure you get euro scart and the proper adapter to plug into your framemeister.
Good luck! Feel free to ask questions
Personally speaking I'd recommend getting a component to HDMI converter (I use this one and it works great but there are plenty of other models to choose from if you want something else) paired with some nice quality component cables (either the official Sony PlayStation 3 ones since they work on the PS2, or the PS2 component cables sold by HDRetrovision), I went a couple of low quality third party ones before spending the extra money on the nicer cables, it's well worth it.
Best option are these for the price.
https://www.amazon.com/HD-Retrovision-PlayStation-YPbPr-Component/dp/B07H3F94ZN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538686543&sr=8-1&keywords=hd+retrovision
Easiest way would be ignore that adapter, get a decent quality PS2 component cable like this, https://www.amazon.com/HD-Retrovision-PlayStation-Premium-Component/dp/B07H3F94ZN, use RCA-BNC adapters to plug in directly.
If you are not sure if playing games with a stick is something you are going to like, an okay choice for a starter stick would be the WWE Brawl Stick. If you decide to become more serious about fighting games these sticks are fully compatible to swap in Sanwa brand stick and buttons no soldering required, which are what most players prefer and the same parts most expensive sticks use.
The arcade stick on the left is custom made and is compatible with 360, PS3, and PC. I got that one used on eBay for $80 shipped. So it is possible to get a good stick with full Sanwa parts used. These parts were designed for use in arcades and they can take some real abuse.
The second one is limited out of 300 and I got that for $150 with a book bag carrying case. It looks like Amazon has this model for $137 right now. Usually when there is a major fighting game tournament going on these sticks get discounted even more on the official Madcatz store.
If you want a relatively high quality XBox style controller for PS3, you could get a MLG branded controller. It's made by Mad Catz and it's expensive but I hear the quality is decent and you can configure it to your liking.
I remember in 2012 MLG and Mad Catz released a similar controller where you could switch out the position of the sticks and the dpad; https://www.amazon.com/Offically-Licensed-League-Gaming-Circuit-Controller/dp/B0063BCQ20?th=1
It also let you switch out the xbox-style dpad for a Playstation-esque "separated" dpad, which was a neat addition.
here you go. note that the sticks and d-pad are interchangeable.
i'm going to buy [The AfterGlow] (http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AP-1-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003IU01LC) in a month or so. To be honest the Pro Elite Controller is almost twice as more expensive as the after glow and there are bad reviews about it. But if price is not an issue then definitely buy [The MadCatz MLG PS3 Controller] (http://www.amazon.com/Offically-Licensed-Circuit-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B0063BCQ20). The best thing about it is that you can switch the dpad and analog in any format that you want. Here's a [video] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF_XKj4gzJk) describing what i just said.
Here's an Amazon link for a PS2 to USB adapter. This doesn't answer your question (I'm not sure if soldering alone could produce the same effect), but it's an easy and cheap option.
For the controller I would recommend getting one of these bad boys. For the slow laptop problem I really can't say anything. You might be able to do some testing with the emulator and see what you can run. If you really like playing all the old games it might be better to invest in a gaming computer so you can run all the amazing emulators out there.
Here is a list of the emulators they have and yes they even go as far as the last gen consoles and current gen nintendo console (x360, ps3 and wiiU). If you want any help with getting started just toss me a message or comment reply(either for emulators you might be able to run or building a pc I'm down for either.
Also on another note I got my install of Ubuntu done up all nice and pretty :D
Well, the setup is basically two pieces...
The adapter will also work with the Sony PlayStation 1 original gamepad and DualShock 1.
Also... if you have a SNES gamepad, here's an adapter for that. (But I find the extra L2/R2, analog sticks and their L3/R3 buttons are useful for other emulation buttons such as speed-up, save state, load state, etc).
Here is an amazon listing for a product that does that. You may to read the reviews and look at similar products to find the best one. I have no personal experience using these.

No floating dpad, but it's an excellent controller and works on PS4/PS3/PC with a flip of a switch.
> no problem, i also played melee for about a year and then transitioned to this game, this is my first sf game. I love melee but i can honestly say i haven't looked back
buy a fight commander 4, aside the default ps4 controller imo its the best pad to play on, good features , good quality and the 6 button layout is perfect for SF games. also the controller is not TOO expensive

If you want a quick lowdown on whats not on the cheaper model is, its missing the repositional d-pad as well as the dpad diagonal sensitivity adjuster (this helps for more rigid controls or looser controls for easier circular motions). The shape is also slightly different but thats not a biggy :)

Both of these are generally considered the best new generation fightpads.

You can also get McBoot memory card and ethernet/hdd adapter so you can play your games off a hard drive. Edit: assuming you have a fat ps2. If you have a slim ps2, you can still use an external USB hard drive without the ethernet adapter iirc.

Alright, I'll have to splurge alittle more into my cables then... I had a feeling it was the cables. I would love to have an official Sony component cable but for $30 I have to pass lol. Thank you for the help! I think I have another set in mind, I'll attach them to gather your thoughts:

What you need is a high quality component cable, that alone will drastically improve the quality. The supreme solution is to combine a high quality component cable with a converter such as the OSSC to get a hdmi output. But these are on the pricey side but are amazing. So I'd get the cable first see if that's enough for you then go from there if you want to go the whole way.
I can strongly recommend this cable, its very thicckkk:

Yes you can do that. Also PVR = "Personal Video Recorder" just FYI.
There are tons of ways of getting content over the internet like Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, Amazon, youtube, pirating, etc.
Also I would suggest checkout out XBMC which is a great media playback program. Also I really like this remove and you can use it with Remote Buddy.
There is. It's Bluetooth and awesome.
Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M17AVO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_MbBszbWHM23GZ
There are probably third party options too.
My PS3 remote doesn't have this issue.
These. Marketed for PS3 but they work just fine on PS1/2. I use them for my PS2.
EDIT: Are these the 10100 you listed? Missed them in the pictures first time. Looks like you have them loose.

PS3 uses wireless controllers, so no compatibility unless you buy a 3rd party converter
Pretty much any PS3 made recently has no PS2 game compatibility.
You would have to find out of the early fat PS3s and check the model #.
Most usb/wireless keyboards/mice work with it. Also, bluetooth keyboards. There is an official remote which you can easily find online.

This is the one I’ve been using for almost a year ~$8
I have this one, this one, this one, and this one.
The SG is about 25-30ms behind every other guitar I have, which is a lot.
It's playable, but fiddling with the calibration setting in between hitting the notes too early so they break on the strikeline, and hitting them at the correct time where they don't go past the hit window is annoying, and there's no reason to deal with that.

Found this on amazon.
Logitech C270 gets 1280x720 @ 30 FPS source while a PS3 camera gets 640x480 @ 60FPS, and 320x240 @ 120 FPS source.
So it depends on whether you want high FPS or high res.
Playstation Eye. Good sound quality and excellent noise canceling so others don't hear noises in the room. No mic in your face or additional cords. $7 and prime shipping.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU
Trust me.
You can buy a new PS Move controller from Amazon for USD 29.99.
Throw in the original PS3 Eye camera for USD 6.49.
This looks really cool. How does it play without a headtracker? Is it a necessity? And would the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick be good enough? I don't want to drop a lot of money on it. Also, can you still be decent without buying planes?
edit: looks like there's a free program for head tracking, facetrackernoir, and you can get a webcam for under 20 dollars, so it's not too bad in terms of the cost for face tracking.
edit 2: PS3 Eye works on PC and it's 60fps, so that might be the best since it's only 17 dollars. http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU
Yes, it is.
I use FaceTrackNoIR, and while I've had very mediocre results with the face tracking (mostly with regards to input lag), I've had great success with using its IR tracking module.
What I currently use:
I cut my clip frame out on the CNC router I happen to have, but it is a simple enough shape there is no reason you couldn't cut it out by hand or even make something out of cardboard, as my prototypes were. DXFs are available here, if you happen to have access to one and want something fancy.
I run the Eye at 640x480@75fps, but that is mostly out of habit - I've heard very good results can be had at 320x240, and higher FPS capture is almost always going to result in smoother response. I use the Accela curves for input smoothing straight from the PointTracker project page here. For movement curves, I'd share mine but I'm not really happy with them yet. Much playing around and personal preference there.
I can run this with no problems with a window at my back. It can sometimes get a little wonky with direct sunlight coming straight through the window, but that really only happens first thing after sunrise - once the sunlight is indirect, no problems.
All this being said, I don't actually use it in Star Citizen (until they provide TrackIR hooks), but I do use the hell out of it in War Thunder.
Playstation Eye
Nice refresh rate, FoV and quality. Buy the mount for $3 so you can place it on your monitor.
It also looks visually pleasing.
Just as an idea. You can actually disassemble an old webcam to create a digital microscope on a budget. As seen here
Edit: Or demonstrated here
In general the Playstation Eye might be a good platform / camera to tinker around with. Maybe not the best in resolution. But it's drivers are broadly used by the hacking community, in multitouch setups for instance, as it's relatively cheap ($8.88 on amazon currently for a new one, < $2.00 for a used one) .
Also, it might be an solution just to attach a camera to the ocular of a conventional microscope.
Get the Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 SA or the Madcatz TE sticks.
http://www.amazon.com/Real-Arcade-Pro-V3-Playstation-3/dp/B0041SGD44/ref=pd_sim_vg_3

You definetly do not need an arcade stick to play fighting games, it's simply a matter of preference, the only reason the stick is preferred by the fighting game players is that they grew up playing in arcades with the stick as the preffered controller. Ever since SF4 came out there has been a new generation of pad players that are doing pretty well :(Wolfkrone, top seed for evo points, Vangief, both of these guys are pad players and placed top 8 SSF4 in EVO). And for Marvel you really dont need a stick at all as execution is extremely easy. So if you aren't commited to paying 100+ USD for a quality stick, might as well play with your pad, as the stick wont make you a better player instantly, and sticks have a learning curve too. Can you mention the games that you want to play and how much money are you willing to shell out for a stick?
They do make a top of the line fight stick for PS3 and XBox...for 250 bux. Worth. Every. Penny.
Edit: It looks like they jacked up the price on this model since I bought mine for ~150. They are selling the new Tekken model of this same fight stick for 150 as well.
I'm assuming you have a TE 1 stick that was released in 2009? (http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-FightStick-Tournament-Edition-Playstation-3/dp/B001M25AY6) I used to have this problem until I bought a USB card and attached it to my computer
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IPXOWU?psc=1 (This card can read USB 1.1 - 3.0)
I think the stick is a USB 1.0, and my computer doesn't read USBs lower than 3.0, and cards like these did the job!
Good luck man!
Are you planning on doing any N64, PlayStation or newer consoles? Those would need 8+2.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mad-Catz-Fighter-FightStick-Tournament/dp/B001M25AY6
I own the Hori arcade stick. I really like it and it works very well.
I also own a PS3 mad cats TE stick (mine has different art than this, best match I could find), I really like that one too. I use this usb stick to make mine work with my switch
I find that these sticks each have their own pros and cons.
|Hori|MadCatz|
|:-|:-|
|Soft plastic round buttons. Very Good|Hard plastic sawa style buttons. Perfect|
|Very hard clicking, very mechanical feeling stick. I love it. Just slightly better for change/charge moves|Softer smother stick, I also love it.|
|No lock feature, however the home button is all the way on the side so it is hard to press by accident. However I do hit start by mistake sometimes when going for a L1|Has a lock out switch, never accidentally press start or the system menu button again! Love It|
|Light weight and easy to put in your lap. Great|Heaviest stick I have every held. Still good for the lap, but I prefer a table. Also Great, but a little different|
|USB cord stores in controller. Feels Cheap|USB cord stores in controller. Feels Great|
|It's RED!|Lots of artwork options available. Pick a style that suits you!|
|Works on Switch and PC (x-input)! Change between the two with a hidden switch on the arcade stick! Wonderful Feature|Works on PS3 (and ps4 games with legacy support). Works on PC only if you set up a custom controller profile in steam. Works with switch when using the usb stick linked above. Not perfect but it will work|
|$150 New and feels like a $150 in your hands|$300-400 new and feels like $300-400 in your hands; but you won't get yours new. I don't think they are made anymore. Hunt for one on amazon or ebay, condition may very. I linked to a OEM/stock one that was going for 280 when in stock.|
I use the MadCatz on my pc as my main steam controller. I use the Hori on my switch. The adapter is used for when a friend comes over. I would never take the MadCatz stick to a competition. It only takes one drunk dudebro spilling a beer to ruin my irreplaceable controller.
If I were you, I would pick the Hori controller for simplicity and price. However if you want to try the MadCatz I found this for about 85-100, it may pair well with the use this usb stick for a very good $120-130 price tag. However the $85 sticks are stated to be in what amazon calls "acceptable condition" and may be missing packaging, manuals, or other pieces.
Dat is a nice canvas. I mean a really nice Canvas. 6 yards?! You could literally paint allll the the things!
Both of these are on my randoms list:
From my Doctor Who list is this badass FOB watch. Why do I want it? Because it is a badass FOB watch lol.
Excellent contes... question to ask! Thanks for doing so!
Do it! I'd buy the moves separately though to save $40 vs the Move combo pack.
Playstation Camera, two Move controllers, and games that support them. The last bit is where you'll run into issues, as really there aren't any. PSVR will use them, Dreams will use them, and LittleBigPlanet 3 has limited uses for them, but other than that I honestly can't think of anything.
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, you do NOT need this.
honestly i would much rather cheap accessories than those in the pic.. puck + that gun prob 200-300 bucks.. just let us use our vive controllers and make some 'plastic holders' if you will..
btw.. i dont see whats wrong with being more immersed in a game. if you have a plastic holder shaped as a gun in your hand it feels better than just a normal controller imo..

these things for vive would be amazing.. cheap and let us use our own existing hardware. better than playing elite dangerous with 360 controller imo.. totally ruins the experience when you have a console controller in hands.
It's a move accessory.
> I've wanted an analog stick on the left and a mouse for my right hand for years now but sadly nothing :(
I've been using my old PSMove Navigation Controller with my mouse. Works beautifully.
Edit: I'm also using a Madcatz MMO7 mouse due to lack of buttons on the half controller.
Ah, I don't personally use a SC, I've just heard from people on Blizz forums that do that they have the same issue. I'm actually using one of these and a mouse, it is how I play every shooter on PC.
Glad to hear. I think you made a great move. With the established base of PS4/PS4 Pros out there and the number of PSVR that have been sold already I can see how this wouldn't be a great platform for you to release on next.
If I can ask anything, see if you can get it to run with the Move Navigation Controler. At least as an option. I don't think enough games are using this device and I really think it would help with nausea during movement.
Ya, that doesn't exist.
Not sure where the picture's from, but may be some sort of mock-up.
You can see on the Amazon page it has no tracking ball.

I had the best luck with SCP DS3 (better than MotionInJoy) to use the PS3 controllers on the PC: http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/SCP_Driver_Package
It's the one for the PS3. It remaps a few buttons from the controller (everything on the left side) onto a one-handed wand. It is one half of a pair of devices.

Thing is, not all console users adapt to using the keyboard portion of kbm. The PS move controller is a natural substitute for people who don't WASD, and works just as well with a mouse.
Could see if there's any guides in how to link a ps move navigation controller to pc (never tried myself but might work). It's got an analogue stick, a trigger and six buttons that could be mapped with xpadder...
edit; can definitely be done here's some instructions:

Like the Playstation Move Navigation Controller? But with a tracking light.

I believe it was called a "PS4 Navigation Controller" I highly recommend learning to use a Keyboard as you cannot do things with the controller that you can do with a keyboard (ADAD Strafeing, etc).
Edit: Here it is
There are other input methods you can use as well. Do your research!
Glad I could help, there really wasn't anyone there to help with the transition.
he uses one of these:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002I0K6X6.01.lg.jpg
to move around, and like normally a mouse to shoot.
so becuase he uses a 3rd party controller he can bind his whole keyboard to sounds
Well they did.
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002I0K6X6.01.lg.jpg
Its the navigation controller that you could buy when the move was on ps3
I'm kinda the same way. Keyboard is still just a bit awkward for me, but I found an amazing solution:
For my mouse i have a great Logitech 700. Just great all around. Lots of buttons, which means left left hand work.
For the left hand however, I bought a Playststion Navigstion controller. It is basically the left half of a console controller with stick, DPad, 2 trigger buttons and a few other gen buttons. It is just IDEAL for me. All you need is the USB charging cable and/or Bluetooth. Just link it up and set a profile. It's super easy once it's set up!
Hardware: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002I0K6X6/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-5789793-9325245
Software: http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/
As a bonus, the Move Controller and the 700s can also be programmed to emulate some keyboard buttons, meaning you can play older games that do not have joystick/controller capabilities.
I use a playstation navigation controller instead of a keyboard for most shooters.
You should try doing a ps3 move controller with mouse combo. It works really well, the only problem I had with it is that the ps3 control drivers eat your bluetooth so i had to do a system restore after every session. Other than that though it combines the best of both worlds
They have the Move NAV controller just for that

I just realised I forgot to link what I use! I use this.

Any of the charging headset stands made for the psvr will work with any move controllers, since they're the same for ps3/ps4.
Here's an example.
https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Showcase-Rapid-Charge-Display/dp/B01LYGCK1M
I'm not a big car game person either but the vr makes it much more fun for me.
Why not just get the standard Move controller charger?

I'm sure it's cheaper somwhere, but it does a great job with these controllers and it looks nice.
Nope.

Second one I linked is a later rebrand with 2 DS4 adapters to use it with PS4 as a Sony attempted to "recycle" excess accessories produced during the PS3 Move era.
I remember picking my first one up for $5 clearance in Walmart before PSVR and then they hiked up in price after demand soared for Move wands.
Like Pereb27 says, your best bet is probably 3rd party controllers. You're definitely not the only person that feels that way about the first party ps3 remotes. PowerA makes my favorite ps3 controller although not all of theirs have sixaxis, which will be a problem in The Last of Us when you need to shake the controller to fix your flashlight. That one has the concave trigger buttons and sticks like the xbox controller, which is pretty much the only thing i always hated about the ps3 controllers.
I always recommend the Power A Pro Ex PS3 controller. It's usually in the neighborhood of $13 on Amazon and it is the best controller I have used for emulating multiple platforms outside of Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo brand controllers.
Edit: here's a link. I guess the price went up. You can check Walmart too. A few friends bought this controller there for less than $15. Can't figure out how to format it on mobile, so here it is
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EX-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003VWXV50/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1393748341&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=power+a+ps3+controller
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EX-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003VWXV50/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_y
I bought that and use that for this game. I also use it for my PS3 with out issues. 100+ hours in ETS 2 so far and zero issues. If you get it and want my lay out let me know and I can write it out. Basically I can operate everything in my truck with this for cheap.
I personally use this controller a lot. Lasts a long time if you don't spike it like I just did (blame Dark Souls)
Most people, and using here as an example, are hardened to answer this question with an immediate "no." Conversely, there are several mouse/keyboard converters for the PS3; here is the best one: Eagle Eye Converter
Plenty of videos on how to install, operate, and how it functions are available on Youtube. The advantage of using this in comparison to a controller is valid, but a great number of people are using it.
You could use this if you really wanted to.
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I25L7VT9NU3TBV&amp;colid=1TNP564ZOKS4W
You can get a converter box. There are also PS3 mouse controllers like the Splitfish and Aimon brands. I tried the Aimon one and it works well once you configure it, but I hated the button layout on the left hand 'nunchuk' and the responsiveness of the shape buttons on the mouse, so I returned it.

PS4 Adapter: PlayStation 3 Rock Band 3 MIDI PRO - Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aB14BbDAQJ3GC - $39.95
If you have an Xbox bad news is those are much harder to come by, but good news is you have rock band on an Xbox so your calibration should be top notch
It depends on your use case, but I find the place I am most likely to spend money first is on the board. I want/need something that easily plays all modern consoles.
That said, I think starting cheap can be perfectly viable. My first stick was this monstrosity. Which over time turned into this little cutie. I ended up paying an art commission, upgrading to Seimitsu parts, and though I've since moved on, I loved that thing.
I'd make sure the one you want has room in the case as not all fightsticks are easily moddable, but yeah... start cheap if you want and build up over a few months or so.
I still have a couple of the arcade sticks! https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ
(Just to clarify, I mean in my personal collection. The ones on Amazon are not mine.)
Don't spend your money on that.
If you play on PC or PS3 get this, it's $40 right now. thats the best stick you can get that's not Sanwa or Semitsu parts.
Otherwise get this pad.
When I was researching sticks, I attempted to calculated out how much money and effort was required to build my own stick, compared to buying a TE, or other premade. When you talk about buttons being roughly $25, joystick being around the same, and PCB's ranging from $30-$60, it does add up quickly. On top of the wiring/soldering you have to do, it was more than worthwhile to purchase an arcade stick from a company that specializes in that very thing.
There are cheaper options, though. The Mayflash USB Arcade Fight Stick and the WWE All-Stars Brawl Stick are both decent sticks in the $30-$40 price range.

>Nice tip on the PS3 remote. I assume you mean the official PS3 DVD remote, and not the game controller right?
Yeah, the bluray/dvd remote (this one) Find a bluetooth dongle that supports toshiba bluetooth stack (maybe all work but that is 100% tested) and you're good to go.
>This HTPC would ideally stream videos to more than just the TV it's connected to. Right now i'm using my main PC to stream to a couple TVs using PS3 Media Server. That PC is meant for gaming though, and I don't like it being on 24/7 because it is an energy hog.
Oh, ok then. I do wander if it will be powerful enough to transcode more than one 1080p stream though. Well, you'll soon find out.
I prefer mine
Who wants to wait for a fucking video game controller to turn on and connect when I want to pause a program right now? Or I could leave an unsightly cable hanging out of my PS4 all the time for charging. My media center is pristine, I don't want dangling cables up in my shit. Not to mention I'm on my third PS4. Boo that. Roku is awesome. Way more convenient, very reliable, and super cheap. The remote for the PS3 Blu Ray remote was so awesome. I was so bummed when they didn't have something similar for the PS4.
$20 "blu-ray" Remote, best investment you can get if you're anywhere close to serious about watching movies on your PS3.
I have an st60, whats the issue with the usb not working for files? Side note, that's a great tv for people with seemingly no technical knowledge.
From what you've said, I think your best option is buy a new hard drive and swap out the old one in that ps3 and buy a remote like this for your parents. Its quite easy to use, my folks used that for a long time, with MKVs becoming more and more prevalent, it became more annoying, they use their iphones to send it to the apple tv now (wasn't easy to teach them but they got the hang of it)
What else do they have, a computer? phones?
If you intend to use Netflix/Crunchyroll then you should get a the PS3 remote makes it a lot easier.
Games will mostly depend on what you like to play, Infamous & Infamous II are probably my favourite PS3 games. There is also a huge selection of Classic PSone and Some PS2 game available as you are new to gaming this is a good way to play some classics and build a decent size collection for cheap.
does this one work with the ps4?
If your TV does indeed do 1024x768 then you should be fine with it.
You should be fine at standard-defintion resolutions (480 vertical pixels) using the yellow (composite) cable that comes with the console, but a component cable should give a sharper picture even on standard-definition (depending on your TV and the quality of your eyesight) and will take full advantage of the resolution of a 1024x768 telly.
If you're buying a new telly soon, then maybe see if you can get away with the yellow composite cable for a while, because any new TV will have an HDMI cable, and that will give a better picture (depending the TV and your eyesight) than component. The HDMI cable will be a bit cheaper, and you'd always choose it over component.
I'm not aware of any gameplay differences between the two consoles. Someone said in another post that the E3 demo units were 360s, so that was what the early development must have been done on, so the title must be better and more "native" to that console. Personally, I don't think it makes any difference.
I have a PS3 (and I actually bought a new PS3 for Rocksmith) and I think it's a better console, from a hardware point of view - I've had my PS3 for over 4 years and it's still going great. Early models of the 360 had a terrible failure rate and I still think of it as a "cheap" console; however the latest slim models look like they've fixed these problems, and they're a fair chunk cheaper than the PS3. I kinda feel like the 360 is less cost, if you just want to see if you get along with Rocksmith.
My copy of Rocksmith hasn't arrived yet, but it's a bargain compared to the cost of guitar lessons. If it works even reasonably well then buying a console to play it on is still a bargain compared to, say, 10 or 20 hours of lessons.
The HDCP is hard coded into the HDMI output and the only way to assuredly record from the PS3 that I've seen is using a PS3 component cable. You can probably find off brands that will work just fine.
Unfortunately for you, you have the Elgato HD60 which only has HDMI inputs. A casual search yields nothing for me as far as converting Component to HDMI, and I doubt a reliable one exists that is inexpensive. The standard Elgato HD comes with a Component input cable for use with older consoles.
Yes, 5 prong (2 audio, 3 video) is called component. You can get component cables for everything ps2 and beyond, and you can get s-video for everything snes and beyond. The gamecube component cable is ridiculously expensive and requires an earlier model gamecube, but the s-video cable is easy to get (ebay and amazon have them; just remember that snes, n64 and gamecube use the same cable). Ps2 component is easy to get - amazon has the official one for 18ish and monoprice has theirs for 4.50
How does this one look? Would you recommend this one in particular? It also says it'd work on the PS2.
The PS3 should hook up to the TV just fine. 720p/1080i will look good on a TV that size. The TV looks to be 4:3 so you should get the bars. I think the PS3 comes with standard RCA cables so you might need to purchase some component cables as well.
I personally have no experience with a PS3 on a 4:3 set but I found this which is interesting and would sway me from going the that route if I could help it. PS3 4:3
See if that's an issue you're willing to deal with assuming this TV has that problem.
You want this for your PS3.
Jak and Daxter, I suppose. Though I don't need it like I need these boring, yet hugely useful cables.
Wow, I really can't find one anywhere! I bought mine on eBay a while back, but I can't find any listings for them right now...

I've heard that using this adapter works best, though I've only heard of people using it with wired SGs so your mileage may vary.
Do you use this one ? It’s the one recommended on the CH wiki
Not personally, but others have. This is what you’ll want: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Controller-Converter-Sony-PS3-Controllers/dp/B000NJBD90. You’ll likely have to map the controller as well once in the game.
Thanks man, appreciate it. I don't think the adapted I use is a Raphnet adapter, probably isn't.

I haven't tested it for RetroPie (or even Linux for that matter), but I've been using this adapter from McBazel on my PC for PCSX2 and Clone Hero, and it's worked pretty much flawlessly so far. In spite of it's Amazon listing name, it even works with Guitar Hero controllers! (this is actually the very adapter that /r/clonehero recommends for PS2-tars)
Yes but that won't be wife friendly. I was looking to this PlayStation Eye https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VTQ3LU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_eNxCyb0ZHZW4T
ive heard those mics, they are god awful. (i mute people who use them lol)
currently the best mic for the money oddly enough is http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU
its just not one which would attach to your headset, but its 10x better then any clip on mic for the same price.
EDIT: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ZXjSLM4IpZ <- recording of the mic quality of this headtset. (i have PC360, but it has identical mic as 350 SE).
compare to your mic lol (likely lots more dead air noise, and probably picks up literally every little sound in the background while talking)
I've read it some where(can't find link) but ether way http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1370897124&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=eye

Yes. The best solution is a high-framerate camera (PS3Eye, does not need to be high resolution) with the IR filter removed (though honestly high-framerate is not required, but the PS3Eye is just super cheap), and making your own 3-point IR-LED or reflector clip, usually done cheapest with a baseball cap (so, buying 3 IR-LEDs either connected via battery power supply, or building a USB one (though this has strict voltage), and attaching them to 3 static points on the hat, or building something to attach them to your headset), then use a program like Freetrack or Opentrack (Opentrack is my fav) which already have software built for tracking those 3 points and translating it to movement in ARMA.
It's just as good as the TrackIR system, but way cheaper if you buy and build it all yourself.. Just takes a bit of setup time and a bit of work. There are good guides online, however, so as long as you can buy the parts and follow the guide you want to follow, you can build a setup very easily.
Or if you're both really lazy and frugal, you can go with someone like these guys who pretty much do all the work for you with removing the IR filter off of PS3Eye camera, plus 3d-printing a pretty nice clip for the LEDs. They also have a modified version of opentrack to work specifically with their builds, though I'm not sure what's different about it. Still ends up being a lot cheaper than the TrackIR that does the same thing, but I would still recommend building your own if you're up for it. It's really not a hard process at all.
It works stupidly well, and makes things like flying and landing choppers and planes 100x less risky. You get a whole lot less blind spots. It's also pretty neat to be able to keep your crosshairs at one target, while looking in a different direction to watch another target.
At $5 per camera it's a steal at twice the price: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU
This is the current favourite due to the high frequency at which it can record.
I've used TrackNoIR with a MS Lifecam before (cheap, nasty, basic, webcam) and it worked ok'ish.
...and PS eye is $10 on amazon at the moment. Just buy one.
Sadly its $18 CAD :(
http://www.amazon.ca/Sony-Electronic-99028-Playstation-PlayStation/dp/B000VTQ3LU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416960730&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Playstation+Eye
Agreed. This is the right ps3eyetoy too!
The PS3 eye as he mentions below is very inexpensive and well reviewed. I just bought it for less than $10...
www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU/
Like others said, the C920 is a fantastic camera and a lot of streamers (myself included) use it and it everything looks great. There were some instances where it went down to $40 USD (around Black Friday).
If you want a cheap 60fps webcam the PS Eye ($10 + $2 CL Eye drivers). It looks decent for a 480p camera assuming you have good lighting.
I honestly wouldn't recommend the PS Eye unless you plan on streaming games with handcam action (rhythm games, maybe fighting?).
Also, you can buy a used PS3 Eye for quite cheap, along with the drivers for it from Code Labratories for $3. The PS3 Eye is just about one of the best webcams you can purchase for a DIY FaceTrackNoIR rig.
I use the PSeye with this driver (the driver costs $1.99, but it's the only one I know of) and it works flawlessly for voice coms in games. I don't think you can get a better setup for $11.
Amazon for under $9 with Prime
I already have the remotes (Got them for $15 each). Is this the mic?
You can build your own IR headtracker for cheap (less than $50 total). You can find hardware plans here (if you don't have access to a 3d printer directly you can find people online to print it for you, or you can google around for other home built options), you can buy a PS3Eye camera on Amazon along with an IR Filter, and the OpenTrack software is free. The hardware assembly is simple enough to do with no soldering (I recommend you do solder if you know how) and the OpenTrack software is very easy to configure.
Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Eye-3/dp/B000VTQ3LU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1427346144&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ps3eye

Hi Redshft,
As a warning, you're going to have to "learn" to use the fightstick. I literally hated it at first. It's so "new" you will suck.

That fightstick is hands down the best, and you're going to spend $100 on your stick. Go ahead, just throw down the extra cash and get something that isn't cheap. I promise you, it will be worth it.
This is the exact stick I have.

Am I missing something? I ordered this one for $36 via Amazon.
I'm not hacking together much I didn't think? I just want to use the Playstation Move controllers for motion control so I can move my hands around and grab stuff in game. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what exactly I need.
I have my phone with VR games and Steam with VR games on it, i have a regular controller, and I just bought the google headset. I'm just wondering which controller would be best for me to play games with while sitting at home that will allow me to reach out and grab things in the game or swing my arms or what have you.
Thanks for your assistance.

Which also isn't true. There was the dual analog controller they released before N64 came out. The 2 dual analog controllers for PS1 that came out before dual shock. The PS2 one stayed the same as dual shock, but every button was made analog. The PS3 boomerang they tried but everyone hated, so PS3's looked the same as dualshock. Sony gets far less credit than they deserve. Move is still used thanks to PSVR

Don't worry, they are just playing PlayStation-Move!

Import a pair from the US from Amazon , will cost you $103
One thing that will be very interesting is to see if this is supported... If it is, I bet it gets sold out real fast!
Aragorn's Quest is all right. Unless you're hardcore Tolkien fan, skip that one.
Killzone 3 with the attachment Comedian70 recommended is pretty fun. Strafing as your primary movement will take a bit to get used to, but other than that it's a headshot galore (yes, also in multiplayer. yes, i played it with move, and would still do it if I had time).
Sports Champions is especially solid Move example for bigger parties.
Now, Resident Evil 5... Let's just say I have a Platinum trophy in that game basically thanks to Move (and a buddy of mine, who's presence as P2 eliminated the idiotic AI shenanigans). Get the Sharpshooter accessory for it, though.
You need this!
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Sharp-Shooter-3/dp/B002I0K622
Using the move is second only to being able to play an FPS, in my opinion. I love it! Everyone prefers different controls, though.
It seems like this is a newer version of the Sharp Shooter from the PS3 Move days:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Sharp-Shooter/dp/B002I0K622/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=DVM1G7DS67NMHADQJ038
If I have one of those, could I use that with Farpoint instead or does this offer something else?
I still think the Move one for PS3 is the best.

another 60+ bucks device that will soon be out of stock everywhere.
I haven't tried it in Overwatch yet (I'm still playing on PS4) but for other FPS games I use the PS3 nunchuck and rebind the keys since I much prefer an analog stick (even if it's actually digital input in this case) to WASD. Since you came from a console this might feel more comfortable for you too.
https://www.amazon.ca/PS3-Navigation-Controller-Standard-Edition/dp/B002I0K6X6
I've tried doing this with the Playstation 3 Move Navigation controller, never really got it to work though.
Makes you wonder why they didn't implement the move "navigation" controller along with the PS3 moves:
https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
I think until Sony releases a more reliable move controller solution (one that doesn't get obscured by your head/body/chair whenever you turn around or reach down) I'm fine with controller support only.
After playing RE7 and overcoming VR sickness from smooth locomotion (RE7 does a great job darkening your peripheral vision when you turn and move quickly so that helps a lot) I'm feeling like more controller based FPS games are possible without the need for janky teleportation mechanisms.
I can almost see a future game that uses both the move controller and the DS4 controller, but not necessarily at the same time; although I can't figure out the logistics of having to set down one controller and pick up the other unless the PS4 is actively tracking the position of both so it can show you where you left them in the real world.
Didn't Sony come out with a nunchuck-like move controller attachment to give you the ability to have a navigation option along with one hand to swing a sword or something? Why can't we do that?
It’s controller from PS move generation called “PlayStation Move Navigation Controller”. I bet you can buy them everywhere. Here’s amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
https://www.amazon.ca/PS3-Navigation-Controller-Standard-Edition/dp/B002I0K6X6
> A requirement just means a huge waste of resources since you can't always guarantee 60fps everywhere unless you lower the graphics to the lowest capable of running 60fps in the hardest area.
Again, you're speaking from PC experience. Console development is vastly different. It's extremely easy to hit a frame rate lock goal when developing for console. Just don't ever add anything to your game that drops you below that goal. Since you know the hardware, it's incredibly easy to achieve this.
>You also misunderstand my criticism of the Move. The tracking is indeed quality, but there's no movement options on it. No d-pad, no analog stick, you have to hold a DS4 in one hand that defeats the point of immersive tracking wands. It also only has one button on the rear making grip mechanics like on the Touch very difficult.
The PS Move has navigation controllers.
There is a Playstation Move Nav controller. I'm not sure if it's used, but i'm guessing devs can support it if they want.
http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
I think they will use this http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
With the navigation controller? Maybe one illuminated bubble wand and in the other hand the navigation controller. Back when PS Move was released on PS3 this is how you moved, some accessories like the Sharpshooter had a space for it as well.
I however haven't heard any news on whether or not Sony is reviving the Navigation controller. I have two of each, two bubbles and two nav-cons. The sharpshooter and the pistol. Really looking forward to bringing my PS Move accessories out of storage.
^^^And ^^^my ^^^mom ^^^wanted ^^^to ^^^get ^^^rid ^^^of ^^^them ^^^years ^^^ago.

You mean the Ps3 navigator controller ?
The ps3 has a navigation controller that connects via Bluetooth and is programmable on steam. I'd imagine it would be a good set up with mouse that you're looking for.
https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
Nice, I've heard of people using a playstation move nav controller and mouse before and that has always intrigued me.
And if you could add support for PS move navigation controller : https://www.amazon.fr/Manette-de-navigation-Playstation-Move/dp/B002I0K6X6/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525754254&amp;sr=8-2-fkmr2&amp;keywords=Ps+Move+Ps4+navigation+controller
It would be PERFECT
You can use it on all games that don't require motion controls like ARMS. As long as it uses traditional controls like Zelda you can use the pro controller.
For me i know i'm going to find the joy-cons very comfortable, when i tried the PS Move i didn't like the motion control features but i immediately thought it would be really comfortable if i had just 2 of those navigation controllers i could let my arms rest comfortably at my sides/on chair arms to play.
Not that crazy, but I put a fair amount of effort into Trauma Center. It's played with the Nunchuck's analogue stick to select tools, with the pointer to control everything else. Digital keyboard felt awkward, and you can't do anything accurately with pointer on analogue.
So I bought a Bluetooth dongle and spent a day setting up SCPToolkit to connect my PSMove Navigation Controller. It worked well, until I found that the game was damn near impossible with the wiimote rotate movement bound to buttons, as it'd constantly rotate when the button was held, then rotate back when released.
So I then had to spend another day getting the controller working through Steam's controller configurator, with a toggleable control set swapping the analogue stick to control rotation, all for just two games.
I'm still unsure if the game was worth all the effort put in, but it was still damn fun!
You might want to try the PS move controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0K6X6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I was able to pair it with my PC using bluetooth. It works well but I don't use it with most games because it doesn't have enough buttons to cover what I need. But since you're getting a mouse with more buttons also it might workout for you. (my mouse only has a couple extra)
Edit: I don't know why the listed price is so ridiculously high, you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere. I only paid $18 for mine.
If he is like me he is using the left hand of the move controller, the one with the analog stick on it. I use that + mouse. FInd it much better than KB and mouse. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002I0K6X6.01.lg.jpg
lol I think you're thinking about the move motion, i'm using the [move navigation] (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002I0K6X6.01.lg.jpg). I use an analog stick to move around but I still aim with my mouse. I know this is unconventional but it's really comfortable. and I can press keys on my keyboard while still holding it. That's how I make it look like I'm doing both things at once
I use a controller for everything but aiming, since you just can't beat a mouse for accuracy.
Generally, I find 3rd person games play better with a controller (analog stick/triggers), while 1st person games play better with a keyboard and mouse (easier to look around/aim).
You can also have the best of both worlds by pairing a PS3 Navigation Controller with a mouse, like this. Use the analog stick on the navigation controller for movement, and use the mouse to look around/aim.
A gaming mouse with lots of extra buttons (e.g. Logitech G600) would be ideal for this kind of setup.
You mean the Move Navigation Controller?
My guess would be: Optical handtracking combined with a PS Move Navigation-Controller-like device for movement.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-3/dp/B003O6G114
Get the official Move charging kit, it's perfect:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-3/dp/B003O6G114
You can't charge the headset so I'm not sure what you mean with charging "all 3".
Heh, that literally just Sony's PS Move Charger except they added cup adapters for the dualshock 4. They even still have the move logo on them. They must have a lot of excess inventory so they're just throwing controller adapters in with them to get rid of them.
Here is the actual Move charger for comparison:
http://www.amazon.ca/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-Standard/dp/B003O6G114
That's kind of ghetto imo. Unless you need a move charger as well I would just stick with the Power A model. It works great, is licensed, and is a better design.

You can find these cheap at used game stores, but it's worth the $20 if you don't want to go on the hunt. Had mine since PS3.
> In any case, what do you prefer?
I've got a pair of these and they work pretty nice. I think they needed a driver on Windows XP, but every other OS I've used them with they were Plug-n-Play. You might run into issues with programs that only support XBox controllers, though. I've also got NES and SNES controller adapters from this site. Great for emulation. I've never noticed any lag and the plastic is pretty nice.
> A friend mentioned that the wireless controllers will not work with PC, even with the wire charger/adapters.
I'm pretty sure this is false. Microsoft themselves make adapers, and there are many third-party ones on Amazon. (I'm not very familiar with XBox products, so I can't tell which one is the official adapter, so I don't have a link. The best I could find is this on Newegg.) With bluetooth (you can buy a "dongle" if your PC doesn't have it, which it probably doesn't) and Motioninjoy, you can use also use PS3 controllers.
the PowerA pro ex is really good
its wired but I've been enjoying it even though I prefer the ps3 controllers. Its pretty cheap too. My only complaint would be when you first get it the sticks are too tight
This one is definitely one of the best, it's worked great for me so far.

Pick up a product like Eagle Eye
I have heard good things about them
So does PS3
I found this which is cheaper than the XIM Edge, either way, they are both really expensive.
there is adaptors that you can buy, most people don't like them, and the truth is that it only takes a few days to start getting good with a controller.
I was never as good with a K/M when I used to play CS 1.6, and i played it for a long time.
But Check this adapter out it has some pretty good reviews and for the price of a controller it might be the thing just for you.
This specifically would have to be supported by the game developers. There are also PS3 keyboard and mouse adapters that work pretty well, allowing you to use it on any game.
Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1314419035&amp;sr=8-1
No news on PS4 yet though.
In regards to the keyboard/mouse, I'll just leave this here
I bought one of these for the PS3. It works well, but I still prefer the controller on the PS3. Plus, you can't switch between this and a regular controller without pausing, disconnecting, reconnecting the other device like you can on PC.
There are third party accessories that allow keyboard and mouse control over consoles. I don't know if they're banned at the competitive level, but I imagine that people use them.
Example http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4
or
http://www.extreme-mods.com/XCM-XFPS-40-Force-for-Playstation-3-PS3_p_241.html
They make them, this is what I've seen used I think:
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4
I can't speak for reliability though.
There all ready are...
My amazing Googling skills have turned up this extremely illusive piece of hardware right in the top result!!
http://gizmodo.com/223963/xcm-xfps-xbox-360-keyboardmouse-adapter-in-action
I bet if i changed my search a little i could find one for the PS3 too... let's see..
OMG.. yes it does :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eagle-Eye-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter/dp/B0040UAYI4
The debate shouldn't be about console vs PC as PS3 does support keyboard and mouse combo provided the developer has added the code for the same. I think Unreal Tournament and CS:GO support them from what I have heard and then there are peripherals like this and this for people who are more comfortable with a mouse.
Have you seen this or this? I haven't tried them personally, but have actually heard some good things about both. Obviously it's not a perfect substitute, though.
I know for a fact there is a way to do this though iirc the article about it said you would probably get better results with a controller since the PS3 version is designed for use with a gamepad. I'll see if I can dig up that article, if I can I'll edit this and post the link.
Edit: Found a couple of threads about it on COD forums and most of them agree that the "best" way to do this is use one of these. Heres hoping that helps!
All of them
Not officially, anyway. http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4 still has the limitations of controller, but you can set the joystick sensitivity up to full at least, for the fastest 360 possible without losing all aiming capability.
I highly doubt (in fact I'm almost positive) that next-gen console owners won't be able to play games with them without 3rd party hardware and software. Adding a feature like accepting a keyboard and mouse as a controller would make it unfair for the other console players who use and are used to controllers. It would be a terrible move by either Microsoft or Sony, therefore they won't do it.
just buy the adapter and use your pc stuff ?
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1314419035&amp;sr=8-1
Does anyone know how this will work? Will ps4 players be able to play with pc players. One of my main concerns is that ps4 players won't be able to keep up with mouse users with the ps4 controller. The only way possible if the ps4 has something like this
Or what about FRB? Any thoughts guys?
Edit- After re reading the article, this quote makes me feel like they will be separate, "PC-version."
Well you can shell out $60 and use this.
They purposely don't want you to do it because it would unbalance the game. You can buy a converter like this though
There exists a gaming mouse for PS3, pretty sure it has a gamepad too, and is compatible with any FPS/TPS.
Here it is.
Apparently that one's pretty shitty, but there's also this.
This works without the PC https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM
IIRC, you can always find a cheap MIDI kit and use the RB3 MIDI Pro Adapter. I managed to find a kit all too similar to the ION Drum Rocker for only $50! And although it didn't have a bass pedal, I managed to create my own using a cymbal pad as well as the structure used to hold up the Guitar Hero drum kit absolutely free. If the kit doesn't work at first, you can make it work for sure using Bome's MIDI Translator too.
Is this MIDI Pro Adapter what you're referring to?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=twister_B004VKH986?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I'm not on RB4 yet, so someone correct me if my info is outdated. That drum should work just fine. The connector you need is the Rockband MIDI Pro-Adapter found Here for X-box and Here for Playstation. It's pretty much impossible to find the adapter other than online. In addition you will need to purchase a short MIDI to MIDI cable as seen here (these are pretty easy to find at any music store, but you'll pay the usual 400% markup). Total cost is somewhere around $25-$45 to get you up and running.
Any midi kit will work. I got one preowned for about 400 CAD, new is obviously much more expensive. Honestly, I got it for practicing drums quietly (or at least more quietly than acoustic), it working with Rock Band was a bonus. PS3 and PS4 both work using the PS3 Pro Midi adapter.
Llama is a pain in the ass, but I've always been a glutton for punishment in rhythm games. Again, I'm "that guy" who prefers playing for challenge and mechanical proficiency over simply songs that are good to listen to. Songs that are good and fun are definitely my most played, though, with Rush and Iron Maiden being easily my most played artists on Rock Band.
I've also been fooling around with a PC game by the name of Phase Shift lately. The aforementioned Midi Adapter and my PS3 GH guitar worked out of the box with it, and Custom Creators Collective has a ton of good customs for Rock Band, plus a tool for converting from RB format to Phase Shift format. I've been having a ton of fun with Domino the Destitute by Coheed and Cambria, for an example of an easier song that I enjoy playing..
Thanks, your reply is super helpful.
So would you say that the gameplay on ps4 is actually worse due to the roll limit (Seems many users have issues with other bugs as well)?
>there's also a user-made adapter that doesn't suffer from the roll limit. Another $50 if you end up needing it.
I assume you are talking about this. Would that be a replacement for the adapter I would need anyway? Meaning I should buy that even if I go with a ps3, to give me the option to roll limitless on a ps4 in the future.
They're on amazon:

Here's one I found for you! You can find em much cheaper on eBay
If you have this Rock Band Pro adaptor and an E-kit that outputs this kind of midi port then yes, you're good to go. The problem is simply many newer E-kits have moved on in favor of USB connections for output which will not work on the PS4 version of Rock Band 4.
Look for this bad boy, if you’re XB360.
XBox 360 MIDI Adapter
If you’re on PS3, hit this fella up.
PS3 MIDI Adapter
Since the DM6 only has a USB port, you'd have to connect it first to a computer. Then use a usb to midi converter to go from your computer to the midi pro adapter: http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Rock-Band-MIDI-PRO-3/dp/B0042B3EOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1454095898&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ps3+midi+pro+adapter Then plug the pro adapter into the PS4.
Not sure what the software you need for the computer. Some sort of basic midi conversion thing, I guess.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, for PS4 on Rockband 4, all I should need is the ps3 midi adapter, and the midi cable right? If so, I already ordered it yesterday.
This thing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042B3EOM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
And I was so hoping to get me some cocaine! I guess this will have to do instead.
I spent $40 on a bottom of the line Madcatz stick and then I hit up Paradise Arcade for a Seimitsu stick and buttons for about $60. It was super easy to put together and I ended up with the rough equivalent of a TE with custom colors for the same price.
What kind of fight stick do you have? I was doing the same thing not too long ago and found some templates for sticks. I still have the raw templates saved for this one. I gutted the stock parts and replaced them all with Sanwas
Most people say anything under $60 isn't worth considering because some component will break within the first couple months. The only exception is the WWE All Stars Brawl stick (I don't know what makes it different and it doesn't seem to have Sanwa parts, which is the main thing you're looking for in a stick.)
If you can't drop $100 on a fightstick or not sure if you will be playing fighting games in a month or two, I would stick with a wired Xbox 360 controller. I upgraded from an Xbox controller to a fightstick 2 weeks ago and honestly it hasn't upped my game or made anything easier, in fact I am probably still a bit worse.
If you're looking for a reliable, cheap fightstick check out this stick on Amazon. It's $45 if you've got Prime. A decent stick for a good price, and you can change the faceplate.
And you can get an even cheaper deal on certain sticks as well.
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ
The point here is that yes, you can dual mod, but there are factors to look at: cost of the mod, knowing how to do it, having soldering equipment, time, etc. Or you can probably pay less to get a simple stick or some more to get a quality one.
Your other option is what I did, buy a MadCatz Brawlstick, and swap it Sanwa buttons and a joystick from FocusAttack and it will end up costing you around $80 depending on what system you buy it for and when you buy it (I assumed for PS3) and you will have a tournament ready fightstick.
PS: I changed the artwork for it, I didn't want The Rock and Triple H looking at me when I'm trying to mash DPs.
http://eightarc.com/qanba-q1

I've got both a 360 and a PS3 Madcatz stick, and both work fine on my PC's. They're standard USB connections that windows recognises straight away. Hell, my Raspberry Pi recognised my PS3 stick straight away!
The reason why you're no longer seeing cheap SE sticks is because they are no longer manufactured, making them rare items.
Cheap SE sticks that can still be found for cheap (unless people have caught on) are the WWE Brawl sticks. Same as the Street Fighter SE sticks, but with WWE branding.
There is a difference between TE and SE sticks. SE sticks do not come with Sanwa parts by default - you will have to swap them out (easy to do, thank god!). TE sticks are bigger, heavier and come with the quality Sanwa parts. Saying that, it took a year for my SE stick buttons to die - your mileage may vary as I racked up about 300 hours on SF4 by then.
Qanba also do great sticks.
Also, whenever there is a big tournament happening, there will usually be a discount code advertised on the streams for cheaper sticks.
Here's the PS3 Brawl stick I have (I'm assuming you're american - I'm british):
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ
Notice the PS3 one is cheaper - if you're only playing on PC, get the PS3 version.
Also do a google on the WWE Brawl stick, and see what the folks on youtube and shoryuken.com are saying about it. (ignore the folk who don't know that it's a better SF4 SE Stick).
If you do go for the stick, I would recommend swapping out the buttons for Sanwa parts.
Apparently some older PC's/Laptops might need motioninjoy for ps3 sticks to work. If you're using windows xp, and you get the 360 version, you will need to download the xbox 360 controller drivers. Windows Vista and up, you're fine.
That kind of control scheme sounds pretty awkward to me, but if it works why not go with it? The reason people buy those controllers I linked you is because they can't stand the D-Pad/analogue stick of the xbox controller, and $20 is a pretty cheap investment.
The cheapest stick I could find is this:http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_11?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1367640078&amp;sr=8-11&amp;keywords=fightstick
You could always replace the faceplate to make it more appealing. That's essentially the same one I bought when I started, but a newer version (and with WWE art instead of street fighter). Make sure to do some research and make sure that it works on PC before you pull the trigger.
If you have $100 to blow on a controller Mad Catz actually has a pretty nice modular controller. Here it is. A lot to drop for a controller but it's an option.
Yes, it is legit. It's for PS3 and Xbox 360. Maybe you will be able to get a new one for PS4 in the future, I don't know.
http://www.amazon.com/Offically-Licensed-Circuit-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B0063BCQ20
They actually make higher quality controllers than first party in some cases.

You can make your problem 999x easier if you go with the PC route. Also, if you miss the nostalgia and really want to play with a ps2 controller buy this, it's what I use and it's compatible with ps1, ps2, and ps3 controllers. I'm using a PS1 right now on it and it works flawlessly. This way, you can use a ps controller on your PC while playing kh2fm. I'm pretty nostalgic myself, but I believe you only need 60 fps on the game to run which isn't much firepower required for most pcs these days.

Did you get this one by any chance? As far as I can tell, none of the PS2 connectors seem to work.
This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096PSFBG/
Low latency, and whammy works. I haven't been able to get star power tilt to work with it though.
I'm wondering if you could use a coupler to a PS2 adapter.
USB Type A Female to Female then
PS2 to USB Adapater
Not sure if this wouldn't work since it is expecting the connection to go from PS2 to USB rather than from USB to PS2.
If you have a random PS2 controller laying around. http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Controller-Adapter-Converter-Windows-3/dp/B0096PSFBG#customerReviews
Well, there are plenty of converters from the PS2 controllers to USB, so try taking a look at amazon for those. They seem to be pretty cheap, all things considered, and then you don't have to buy a new controller or anything.
You mean like this?
Looks nice, but damn, I could get a new Logitech Gamepad for like $10 less! Trying to spend as little as possible :/
I was thinking of trying some cheap janky-looking thing like this or this. Is there a catch with these cheapo models? Reviews seem pretty inconsistent! Thanks for the reply.
Something like this should do it. I'd do a bit of research though, as it's been years since I used a PS2-to-USB adapter, so I don't know if some are better than others.
Hey there! I've been shopping for one myself. I've just ordered the following adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096PSFBG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I ordered this one last week and it was a bunch of cheap rubbish: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SPA46M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
New one should be here on Tuesday. I'll try to remember this thread and let you know how it works.
By the way, do you use any sort of emulators?
I just got a pair of these after my turtle beach headphones broke. http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headphone-Playstation-4-3/dp/B00MNP9PD8?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
They do work pretty good, but I feel like the comfort on the turtle beach was nicer over long periods of time playing. The TB also allow you to adjust the volume of chat and game volume separately. The Gold can do this sorta, but instead of game and chat being separate it just lowers the game or chat to raise the other, which is still nice. I also like that the mic on the Golds is hidden and doesn't get in the way when im drinking or eating something.
May I instead recommend https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Stealth-Wireless-Headphone-Surround/dp/B00MNP9PD8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486917575&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=stealth+400
Good quality (had mine awhile now with zero issues and I use it for both my Xbox One and PS4) Works wirelessly on PS4 (have to plug it in via cable to the controller on the Xbox) and works for both voice chat on PC and PC4.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNP9PD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FKLRybKFQGEZM
Do you think this would work for pc? The consoles in the title scare me. The one Stealth 450 on Amazon ships in 1-3 weeks.
I'm in the market for a good multipurpose headset for my PS4 and PC. Originally my budget was going to be <$100 but when browsing Amazon these piqued my interest.
Turtle Beach Stealth 500P
Fully wireless, 15 hours of play time, 7.1 DTS surround, look comfy as can be. However, it's advertised as a PS4, PS3, and Mobile compatible headset. Down the page there is a product matrix, where it claims that the headset is NOT PC compatible.
The previous generation (if you will) headset, the TB Ear Force Stealth 400, boasts a similar feature set sans 7.1 surround. It is also listed as not PC compatible, however in the review section (and Q&A) people are reporting that it is in fact PC compatible.
Does anyone have experience with the Stealth 400? I would appreciate some input. The 500P looks like a great value for the dollar (especially considering the Xbox One equivalent Stealth 500X is priced $100 more) and I'm tempted to preorder.
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Headphone-Playstation-4-3/dp/B00MNP9PD8
I play a lot in the bedroom when my wife is asleep so I put a fair bit of thought into it and decided on the Turtle Beach Stealth.

Same here. I use this because I heard about the d-pads and FC3 rotating after awhile.
The shoulder buttons can be very very sensitive which can work against you depending on who you are.
The d-pads and the buttons are initially very very stiff. I took to the controller like a duck to water honestly. Combos are a little easier, sometimes I find that I'm getting ahead of the inputs though.
Any controller you're comfortable with will work. Especially a console controller. I almost exclusively play fighting games. When i was using a pad it was similar to this.

Personally i use an arcade stick but that's just cause it's how i learned to play fighting games.
Unfortunately the fighting commander 4 is the older version.
The 4 and 3 toggle on the front lets you switch from PS4 to PS3 modes, but there is no PC mode.
This is the newer one with 4/3/PC switch.
The fighting commander 4 you ordered is still good though, and Capcom has plans to support the game with X-input eventually.
In the meantime, I hear x360ce works really well.
It has the same price in all European Amazons, but here you have:

But its a reseller and also from Japan, so in the end it doesnt matter where you buy it.
There's a new version out too, I've had it for like a week and it's pretty good. I'm kinda new to street fighter and played with a xbox360 controller before, this certainly feels better.

Hori Fighting Commander is the answer to your issues https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Commander-PS4-PS3-PC/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486075001&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=hori+commander
hori fighting pad my personal favorite
Amazon has it: Fighting Commander
That looks similar to this one, yet I've been told this is actually a cheaper version of fc4, with not has many features, so I'm confused now...
This one is actually cheaper than the fc4 here in Europe though.
The new one has xinput support. Maybe you can return it for that?
It's just called the Hori Fighting Commander. http://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-PC-compatible-Fighting-commander/dp/B017QORK8W/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Commander-PS4-PS3-PC/dp/B017QORK8W
Consider this too.
you gotta get a different controller. https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-PC-compatible-Fighting-commander/dp/B017QORK8W would be 100x better
No stick is fine, especially for SFV, since it is very forgiving. I'm a Gief/Guile main that started on SNES/arcades, and use a pad because the 360 motions are easier for me. I've used a Hori Fighting Commander for two years now and it's held up well. It feels a little cheap (especially the shoulder buttons), but the d-pad is smooth and responsive and 360s/720s are a piece of cake. Assuming you are on PC, I think this one should work:

Maybe once every couple years, they go on sale for $19.99 at Amazon, but anything under $40 is a good price. If you've ever used a SNES or Japanese Saturn pad, it's a good choice that will be easy to get used to.
I'm looking for a fightpad for the PS4. The Dualshock 4 is great, but I think six face buttons would really improve my game, as I sometimes find using the bumpers and the triggers a bit confusing.
It seems that there are two options:
Hori Fighting Commander
Mad Catz Fightpad Pro
The Hori has gotten great reviews and it looks amazing (my first SF experiences were on the Sega Genesis, so I love the design), but I've heard that the d-pad breaks after a short period of time. I also would have to import it from Japan, which isn't that convenient.
The Mad Catz, on the other hand, has gotten very negative reviews, but the one I'm interested in is the new improved version. The revised fightpad seems to be well received, but there's not much information about it. And many people online seem to say that everything Mad Catz does, besides the sticks, is garbage.
So, any opinions / experiences on either of these?
here's the hori I found

This is the one I just ordered last week, dat Saturn layout, I can hardly wait! Its on Amazon as Fighting Commander
Does the PVM have a composite output port? Have you tried just connecting the Guncon to that instead of the using the split cable?
I found this cable has both component and composite leads, but I'm not sure if both video signals are sent at the same time. (Probably only in 240p/480i display modes, if at all)
I wouldn't use the RCA cables for the PS2. It will be playing 480i on your monitor and text might be difficult or impossible to read. I remember trying to play PS2 on a 42" TV using RCA and I could hardly read anything. Switching to component allowed everything to be readable though.
I suggest getting a scart to component cable and then a component to HDMI adapter. Note that even though the scart to component cable is for the PS3, it will still work on the PS2.
Using component will allow you to play your games on 480p instead of 480i. That way, you will be able to read any text in games.
Sweet, thanks. I'll get a better a better cord, I should have known not to go with off brand. This is the one I purchased.
I actually had this problem the other day! As you may know, the menus of most ps1 games are at 480p, but the game itself is at 240p, a resolution so unusual most TV's just ignore it. Over composite (also referred to as AV, RCA, and a million other names), it doesn't really care though.
If your TV has component as well as RCA, you could buy one of these cables that you can plug into both the component and composite inputs (If both these inputs do not share a sound input, you'll need A 2-pack of these splitters to make it work)
Then, depending on if you're playing a PS1 or PS2 game, you can just change the input on your TV accordingly between component and AV. Afaik this is the most elegant solution that allows you to enjoy the clarity of component video in PS2 games.
EDIT: If you're just getting into PS1 games on the PS2 you should also know you need a PS1 memory card to save your game. PS2 memory cards inexplicably do not get recognized by the game.

I have a component cable (one which has red, green and blue YPbPr connectors and the yellow analog video in too) . My new tv doesn't have a component (or composite or scart) in though, so i need an hdmi converter.
Maybe I shouldn't have made a tldr that leaves this out, because i said so above ;)
>Then, depending on if you're playing a PS1 or PS2 game, you can just change the input on your TV accordingly between component and AV. Afaik this is the most elegant solution that allows you to enjoy the clarity of component video in PS2 games.
I don't think think having to use yellow video in for psx games is satisfactory when they were working with composite before. I'll try the upscaler.
>EDIT: If you're just getting into PS1 games on the PS2 you should also know you need a PS1 memory card to save your game.
I'm not just getting into them. I've played them on my ps2 for 18 years. :) Most of the time through composite (YPbPr), which my old tv supported (and all psx games worked like that).
>PS2 memory cards inexplicably do not get recognized by the game.
They have a different data format so (though you could argue they could have made so you can put a 128KB psx save file onto a ps2 memory card).
But thanks anyway
I've used these with good success though your results may vary. PS3 component cables also work on the PS2. I've also heard good things about Monoprice. I'm running a fat PS2, but the slim should support component.

I personally like this one. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06XB6FRPR/ref=twister_B07FZ1X6CS?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Admittedly the PowerA is a bit better with dead zones, but most of what I play isn't that precision-oriented. I think this one is a little more comfortable to hold than the PowerA and the turbo function is nice if you want it. It's wired, but the wire is generously long, and it has force feedback unlike the wired PowerA.
Not to knock the PowerA pad either - it's a genuinely good controller. I see it recommended a lot, though, so I wanted to offer up another suggestion as well. You'd do just fine with either one, or maybe get one of each.

I tried several controllers, and here’s what I went with.
My son and I really preferred our PS4 Dual Shock controllers with the Model 3, but we didn’t want to commit them to the car because we wanted to keep them for our PS4 Pro.
We also tried the Logitech F310, and they felt too flimsy.
We settled on a set of Xbox knock offs from Amazon called EasySMX
They feel decent, work well with Cuphead and the racing game, and they fit well in the armrest.
Outside of the official PS2 & PS3 cable, the best I can recommend for a new one is by HD Retrovision. Identical video quality to the official cables and solid build https://www.amazon.com/HD-Retrovision-PlayStation-Premium-Component/dp/B07H3F94ZN
Audio buzzing is almost always cheap cables. Either try to find some OEM component cables, or some other nice grounded/isolated ones like HD Retrovision's.
Those two are junk compared to HD Retrovision cables.
HDR is more expensive, but are the highest quality cables you can get for PS2.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H3F94ZN
Mad Catz has one. I don't know what your price range is, but this one is pretty great. It has swappable sticks, so you can have it in any layout you want, with convex or concave sticks, and any dpad you want. It is pretty great. Pricey, but great.

Well the official Sony component cables are going for $80, so I don't really see how $20 is 'overpriced'. They were the only cables around that price that I could find that gave perfect image quality.
Which cables do you recommend?
This, Rlaxoxo is correct. With CL-Eye Test you can adjust the brightness and contrast wayyyyy down. You can also push the colour into the red spectrum while bring down green and blue. I play in a room with south facing glass doors leading to a balcony and an east facing window. I rarely have external light issues.
By the way, I picked up one of the old PS 3 EYE (this exact model):

I didn't have to remove the IR filter (don't know if it even has one). I tested with IR diodes before meddling with it and it works. Now I have a webcam if required and an IR tracking solution that works like a dream. Unless you're sitting in the Sun, you shouldn't have too much trouble.
By the way, if your IR diodes are a little patchy (not too bright and easily lost in Opentrack (don't use the other programs -they're wank by comparison - I've tried them), then switch out the diode(s) which seem weaker with other diodes. There's a myth that you need a specific diode, as long as it's an IR diode it will work. The easiest solution is to get them from old IR TV/DVD/CD remote controls. Some people will have you jump through a whole ritual to get this working, my advice - test at every stage to see if a step is skipable. Example:
1: Get diodes & wire in series to USB
2: Run camera with CL-Eye Test program
Can you see the lights brightly and adjust everything else until it's in shadow? If yes then you only have to set up Opentrack and you're done
Did you forget the Eye, sure it wasn't HD but lets be real the Kinnect was no ground breaker or innovation. Cable TV integration has also been done for awhile with cable cards you can buy for a PC. I don't consider it innovation that they just added that to the Xbox. Not trying to bash your post and I certainly don't look down on anyone you prefers X1 over PS4 but lets be real, innovation isn't something you can claim on X1.
Are you looking at my comment about it costing $5?
I was talking about Eye Tribe:
>And if you're wondering just how soon you'd be able to get this technology into your smartphone, Bo Pedersen was pretty optimistic, mentioning that the sensors were being developed and would be available as early as Q4 this year, and that OEM vendors could likely add this sensor to their handsets for just five dollars.
http://www.cnet.com/news/eye-tribe-shows-off-working-eye-tracking-on-a-mobile-phone/
Mobile devices already have cameras, so it's much easier to integrate.
(Maybe that's why a Samsung VR representative mentioned that eye-tracking will be coming soon for the Samsung VR
https://twitter.com/UploadVR/status/532968908161302530).
I'm not sure what the cost will be putting it into a head-mounted device.
Here's a home-made Oculus Rift with eye-tracking:

You mean like this one? https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Move-Navigation-Controller-3/dp/B002I0K6X6
maybe this adapter
Entirely worth the cost if you wanna play seriously and competitively. I'd consider one, but I'd rather save up for a PC because consoles kinda lost their allure for me.
It's supposed to be compatible with this Playstation Move Navigation Controller as well so you can keep analog foot movement, if you want.
It's no different than investing in a steering wheel for a racing game. Analog sticks just aren't very good for precision. Consoles are so similar to PCs now, they should just support M&KB by default to give players more options.
really? because it's existed for PS3 and Xbox360 for like... a long time.... years... http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Mouse-Keyboard-Converter-Playstation-3/dp/B0040UAYI4
you just have to get one of these
Its a Playstation 4 Camera, not a PS Eye.

I agree. But check this out.
You can try this but I prefer a controller, so I couldn't tell you if it's any good. The reviews are pretty solid though.
I was able to get a stick for cheap ( https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ?th=1 ) and added sanwa parts to it (and new artwork https://imgur.com/a/1jp2c ). Kinda happy with it, even though I was not able to do it perfectly. But man, cheap and works well. Obviously I'm back at playing with a fightpad now.
I've been using a keyboard and mouse to pwn PS3 controller players for years now. I couldn't help myself.
I'm a PC gamer that just did this for the sake of doing it.
The madcatz Brawlstick would be a great choice for about 70$
