PC Shmupping + Keyboard

I have played games for so long with a keyboard that I just can't play with anything else. I suck terribly with a pad, and even more with a stick.

I just don't have the same level of control with a pad, and it shows when I'm playing DOJ on the PS2. That's the main reason I don't play it anymore.

Maybe there's some adapter out there that makes me plug my keyboard on the PS2? lol

You know, that actually looks badass as hell. You ever make one, I'll buy it. Or maybe one day I will build one for myself

*sigh*, yes I posted a picture of it earlier.

It's called the max shooter.

Whoops, I just looked quickly through the thread, didn't realize it was a keyboard adapter.

This really looks interesting...I'll try to get one for myself.

Yeah it's pretty sweet. It's really designed for people to play first person shooters with mouse/keyboard setup but it works just as well for cave games. I must warn you though, occasionally it spazzes out and my ship will lock up and fly in only one direction. (I would say maybe once out of every 3 times I play a cave game). It's quickly fixed by pausing the game, and mashing all the direction keys a couple times.

I don't know if this is just mine or if everyone's may do this. I think there's another similar adapter as well, but I don't remember what it's called and I think the reviews said it wasn't as good
