Owners of Sony's classic consoles, PlayStation and PlayStation 2, now have another option for replacing worn-out controllers – the 8BitDo "Retro Reciever." The Retro Receiver can make...
However, players should note that some PS2 titles rely on the PS2 controller’s pressure-sensitive face buttons to receive different inputs from a half-press than from a full press.
I see the bit about pressure sensitive face buttons. Where do you see shoulder buttons?
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.

Nothing new, but it’s nice to see more companies making these kind of things. Would be nice to get some for consoles that don’t have many/any options
So the article said ps2 controllers have pressure sensitive shoulder buttons (knew this), but new generation controllers don’t.
I’m gobsmacked and that just sounds strange. How do you throttle control without analogue shoulder buttons?
I see the bit about pressure sensitive face buttons. Where do you see shoulder buttons?
They definitely are. In Ace Combat 4, R1 is thrust and it is pressure sensitive.
Ahhh I miss read that. Thank you. Still, interesting to see a feature like that removed.
To answer your question, first, we have to talk about parallel universes…

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