I suddenly have the urge to bust out my PlayStation 2 and... a DualSense?

8BitDo continues to bridge the gap between wireless controllers and classic gaming consoles. It recently announced a new Retro Receiver for the original PlayStation and PlayStation 2, allowing you to play on Sony’s older consoles with a modern DualSense, DualShock 4, or other Bluetooth-compatible gamepads.

The $24.99 adapter may not be the most “authentic” retro experience, but it beats being hindered by a six-foot cable.

Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but I think they’re kinda cute. And the USB-C port even allows for firmware updates.
