Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of MicroCON MadCatz Dual Force 2 Controller
Customer Review: Best controller available
Summary: 5 Stars
This controller is small enough that it fits into everyones hands. I play xbox in the shop and everyone that has used this controller keeps asking for it. I always use it when I play Halo and I do way better than when I play with a normal controller.Customer Review: Perfect for its intended audience -- not so much for others
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, it's very important to note that there are at least two separate models of the wired "MicroCon" for the PS2. If you look at the pictures available on this page both of the two I'm familiar with are shown separately. The first one (the one shown in blue) wasn't as good for me and I use the second one (shown in black.) The only problem I ever had with it is that the analog sticks have hard plastic tops that are concave rather than the usual convex shape with rubber. I added a bit of hot glue to the tops and problem solved. (Also, another modification that I do to all controllers is to open them up and remove the motors. The force feedback really isn't all that great anyway, but this makes them considerably lighter and more comfortable to hold IMO.)
The smaller size and shape makes this much more comfortable to those who have smaller hands. I find the buttons to be laid out just right and the rubber grips on the side definitely make it easier and more comfortable to actually hold. Even the top buttons seemed to be placed just right to me.
In short, it's just right for hands that aren't huge (and by this I still mean some adults, not just children) but only buy one if you meet that criteria.
Customer Review: Great for smaller hands!

I have had this controller for almost three months, and it works perfectly. If standard controllers are too big this one is for you. Once I switched to this controller I was able to hit combos faster, aim better, and play with less fatigue.Customer Review: Worked for awhile.....
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this controller as a second controller and was fairly satisfied with it. Then, after about a year, the left analog stick started getting stuck so that it was constantly turning. I never got the "Macro" thing to work at all, and it never would work with one of my games. Mostly I used my Dualshock2 controller and just used the Microcon for a second controller in 2 player games. Now, since it won't even work for that I'm going to buy a new Dualshock2 controller. And as for the smaller size, I never really cared about that since I'm used to the larger ones.Customer Review: Pitiful...
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe I wasted $15 on this stupid thing. It looked nice and pretty and all, but looks are deceiving (if that's how you spell it). It's comfortable, but that's just about the only good thing. This thing pretty much is not pressure sensitive. Lets say you move the analog stick just a wee little bit, your character in the game moves a bit slow. You move it a wee bit more, and the character moves at maximum speed. And the stick isn't even touching the frame of the controller. Also, when using the analogs, they seem to have a tendency to get stuck. For example, you move the analog stick all the way out in one direction, lets say, to make the game character turn. You bring back the stick to the middle and the character is still turning. The price looks good, but it's not worth it. Your best off going with an official controller, like ones made by Sony or Logitech.
