How does it work with FPS?  Is the control tight, or is it better using the keyboard.

Forget about using it for FPSers.  It\'s better to use a mouse and keyboard.  I felt like I was constantly fighting the controls in Red Faction, so now I\'m sure I won\'t buy another PS2 FPS in the near future. (Until they allow the use of a USB mouse)

I think this adapter would be awesome though for driving games and other odd things like NBA Live.  It would be really nice to use the PS2 controller for Interstate \'82 and Carmageddon.  Anyone here play those?  Interstate \'82 is REALLY GOOD.

When it comes to FPS\'s NOTHING beats a mouse/keyboard combo, nothing.
