Do PS2 controllers work on PS2?
The bottom line is that in most cases, the DualShock 1 gaming controller will work with your PlayStation 2 video games console. That's so because it's compatible with the PS2 gaming console.Can any controller work on PS2?
The best way to ditch the cords on a PS1 or PS2 is to simply use a PS3 controller. Since it has the same classic profile as the DualShock 1 and 2, the DualShock 3 is an excellent way to control a PS1 or PS2 without annoying cords while still keeping the same feel as using an official controller.Are controllers region locked?

Sorry, there is no way of region unlocking a PS2 system to play either domestic or imported games. You can do it to DVD movies but not video games. You're going to have to bite the bullet and get a U.S. PS2 to play domestic games.Usando joystick de PS3/PS4/PS5 e Xbox one no PS2 - BlueRETRO
