Does the classic PlayStation 2 controller support a USB standard? I.E., can I cut the cable and solder a USB connector to it?

Best Answer
Directly interfacing a PlayStation 2 controller to USB is a losing proposition. The protocols and hardware are not at all compatible. You're in for way too much work, risk, and pain.
You can, however, buy a cheap adapter for just a couple of bucks. These tend to be cheap both in terms of cost and in terms of reliability, so I suggest buying someplace with a good warranty/return policy.
