    Which buttons are pressure sensitive? Aren’t they all just regular buttons aside from the analog sticks?

      Almost all of them! Face buttons, dpad, and triggers all put out an analogue value on ps2 controllers.

      It was a bad feature that almost nobody used, which is why it was abandoned. But nonetheless, it’s mandatory in a few games from that era.

        That’s awesome! I’ll have to give this a shot with what few games took advantage of it. Been meaning to try MGS anyway

        It might not have been perfect, but I think MGS3 made fairly good use of them. They basically turned one button into two that perform similar actions for different results.

      On ps2 and ps3 controllers nearly all buttons are pressure sensitive with the exception of the l3/r3 stick buttons and start/select.
