    I had a Playstation 1 dongle. It was my first PC gamepad that I used (mainly for emulation) and it served me good for years. It was the only controller I could accept for playing games, because PC Gamepads at that time were terrible. Didn’t know Sony shut them down. Always wondered why not more people used it.

      Yeah, that was the one, and I couldn’t agree more about it being the best joypad. Logitech was the best for PC, but fell far short of a PS joystick quality.

      The company did have to stop selling them at the request of Sony. A friend, the one who told us all about it, tried to order one too late. The order stalled for a week before getting cancelled if I remember right.

      You were probably one of a lucky few that got theirs in that slim window of availability. Congrats.
