That's an excellent idea.

Cool, I have a PS@ remote still laying around. Aren't they directional though? The wireless control pads I'm using are 2.4ghz radio frequency, whereas the remote controls are infrared?

Ginsu Victim:

I just aim it at the PS2 and put it on the floor. The IR LED is sticking out through a hole in the front, and I have a sturdy button on top wired to the SELECT button on remote. I then covered it in random red and white stripes Eddie Van Halen style.

Quick update:

I've now incorporated the PS2 and USB versions into my desktop controller project(s) and am happy to report they suffer no ghosting and no noticable lag.

Success!

I also ordered a WIRELESS PS2 CONTROLLER for US$19.84



I've just opened it up and its just as easy to hack. I'm going to incorporate it into a desktop controller in the coming weeks so I'll post some pictures and an update on how well it works wirelessly then.

Edit: I've successfully hacked it, and it works great!  One point to note however is that there's a 'common ground' for the directions and all of the buttons, however the start, select, and analog/digital switch button has its own shared ground.  For a standard control panel you wouldn't need these buttons, but I'm going to attempt something a little bit more fancy :D
