Help: Using Xbox Controller With PS2

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new here but just completed my first speedrun on the PS2. Was wondering if there was any way to hook up my Xbox controller (wired w/ USB) to the Playstation as it's a far superior controller in my opinion. With the PS2 controller I'm constantly falling off the sticks and playing claw is much harder. I've seen adapters online with VERY mixed reviews. If anyone knows of a good way to hook it up, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks man! Before I throw down 40 USD I'm gonna try swapping the sticks on the controllers and see how that goes. Sounds like lag could be an issue dealing with adapters

Oh yeah that too, changing joysticks is pretty easy, as long as you got the right fitting sticks

Update: if anyone is interested...

Got the modification completely working for the controller. Using sticks off Amazon ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00HE5DRCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and a borrowed precision screwdriver it took about $2 and 20 minutes to take apart and add the new sticks. Highly recommend doing this for anyone that doesn't like the Playstation sticks.
