This is a summary report of compatibility of PS1/PS2 USB adapters with pSX, as well as PC-compatible controllers. Any problems mentioned are stated as only relevant to pSX unless stated otherwise.
The thread containing most all of this information (the original converter/controller compatibility thread) can be found here.
If you have a controller evaluation to add, please do so in the thread GM has linked; he will edit it and add it to his original summary, and one of the admins will include it here.
