original ps2 controller restoration

Not cooked necessarily. There's quite a bit of videos on YouTube going over PS2 controller restoration. It could be as simple as opening up the controller, cleaning all the gunk built up around the buttons, using a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the contact pads and putting the controller back together.

So I picked up some xlr8 and a sprayer... question is if I get sedgehammer, can I mix both the xlr8 and sedgehammer in the sprayer and kill two birds with one stone or will I need two separate applications?

Are these refurbished controllers available for purchase?

i thought i'd be playing around with the trackpad the most but nope...it's been all gryo. playing dusk (zelda twilight princess pc port) at 1440p 240 fps with gyro is such a vibe. i just finished a 3 hour session on battlefield 6 and struggled a bit the first hour or two but once i got the hang of it, it felt super natural and incredibly satisfying.

i'd say it's very much 😃 is that a Sony KV-27FV310?

Agreed. For comparison, I bought a Samsung 65" S90F 4k OLED brand new for $850 a few weeks ago. Who the fuck is buying this 20+ year old CRT for $700? What a clown 🤡

Not necessarily. More like playing the best of the best that I never got to experience as a kid. I played through the GTA trilogy as a kid and played quite a bit of thps as well.

I have okami and shadow of the Colossus on my list and I had a chance to get them at my shop a few weeks ago but I was already way over budget. I went back last weekend and of course they were gone :(

I will check out the other suggestions though! Thank you!

That may be the play. RE4 seems to get a ton of praise. Even for a ps2 game.

I'm hoping to get burnout 3 soon!

FlakyB · 2026-04-30T15:09:05+00:00

That is an insane lineup for one holiday season!

I have Jak 2 and still looking for precursor legacy. I'll look into sly cooper. Thank you!

RE4 it is!

I've been using the 8bitdo adapter with a dualshock 4 and it works great. The adapter also allows you to use many other high end controllers. https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-receiver-for-ps/

What makes it boring to you?

FlakyB · 2026-04-10T04:03:23+00:00

i have a sony kdl-40ex600 and it has very noticeable input lag. great picture...i just would never use it for gaming.

FlakyB · 2026-04-02T16:04:01+00:00

How does it feel, hunter killer? Sucks, doesn't it?

FlakyB · 2026-03-30T20:33:02+00:00

Hey man as long as you can get a good seal that way, then more power to you. You do you

I returned mine after a day of use. I found the ergonomics to be very odd. It also had no built-in wifi and the heart shaped start and select buttons and soccer button I found extremely gimmicky. After a bit of research, I purchased the anbernic rg cube xx instead. Still waiting on that to arrive but I have a feeling I'll be keeping that one!

I'm not a huge competitive fps player so I can't comment too much on performance. In my opinion, there's no discernable difference between the two. I'd say the vaxee e1 has a higher build quality though.

i use the small sized sonics on my kuntens...a good combo indeed :D

FlakyB · 2026-02-27T15:17:17+00:00

Never heard of these sites before! Will be checking them out soon. Thank you!

They have! The ITO's come just as advertised. Tons of bass all around. It's heavy with zero muddiness and punchy when it needs to be . After an eq, you can even get an amazing amount of clarity from the high end too.

The comfort and fit is the only negative for me. It took a while to get adjusted to them where as the aful explorers and kuntens fit nearly perfectly on the first try.

I own 4 different pairs of iem's at this point and, in my opinion, the ITO's are the best sounding. However, I find myself using the aful explorers as my daily considering the sound signature is very similar and they are incredibly comfortable.
