You should try searching the forum, this question's been asked a lot.

Anyhow, a Sony Controller is rough to solder. There's a carbon film over the contacts and you need to sand it down to get anything to stick to it. Even then it's a pretty tight solder.

Check http://www.lik-sang.com or http://levelsix.com for adapters and such.

You might want to try un-"sodering" your capslocks key prior to any gamepad hacks, eh?

Shadowhawk, come back when you get a new keyboard that has a working caps lock key.  All caps is viewed as yelling and there is no need to yell here.  We can read it just fine.  Lots of our members find whole messages in caps to be offensive.  That's why I locked this thread.
