Well, ok take it from a hardware developer. The adapter you have is made from a press, it literally presses the LAN patterns on to the board. The parts are of the cheapest type possible and its a driver based device. So what does that mean? Well one) durability will suck,two) compatibility will suck ) and three) there is a strong case it will hurt your usb port or controller if any of those components go.
Drivers. Driver stink, if you can do with out then do it!. They are specific and troublesome. That adapter is a HID complaint device. In short a HID is a driver-less device that mac, windows,linux, and ps3 support. Though in this case they write a special driver for rumble. So really you are using a HID/driver hybrid. And all for no good reason because the HID supports rumble! LOL. They wrote the driver because using the FFB from a HID device is not ease at all, trust me I did it. Now here is the real kicker. You could have bought an adapter for $5 less that does the following.
Supports all buttons ( as does the one you have ).
Support rumble with no drivers
As an active developer you can actually email and talk to.
Supports any two pressure buttons simultaneously. and can be configure for any other two buttons.
Support cable pulled out detection.
Has the largest list of compatibility for the playstation controllers.
Oh and for another $10 you can add any other controller port you like ( i.e a game cube port )
The only advantage is the dual psx support that you wont find elsewhere at that price.
At least to me it sounds like a better deal? Now compared to $4 no... maybe not. but why pay more for less eh? For more info see my sig.
