So the article said ps2 controllers have pressure sensitive shoulder buttons (knew this), but new generation controllers don’t.

Brook has had an adapter like this for several years now, and it also works with Dual Shock 3 so you can use the pressure sensitive buttons. But it is $40 compared to the $25 of this one. It’s worth it to me, I love those buttons for Ace Combat.

If you actually want to play PS2 games the Retrofighters Defender is a better idea as it has pressure sensitive buttons.
