Better off using ps3 or ps4 controllers if you want to use wireless controllers.

Positive, brook is a well known company. I own 3 of them with no issues. First time setup you connect to usb after that they are wireless.
I have used both ps3 and ps4 controllers using them. ps3 controller is the dual shock 3 with six axis built in and with ps4 i used both the launch model dual shock 4 and the updated version 2 that came with ps4 slim models. The main ps3 controller i have not tried with it is the six axis only controller, the ps3 controller that was made before dual shock 3.
These days i mostly stick to using a ps4 controller. Had 2 of them for almost 2 years now and the 3rd converter for about 6 months.

I personally have not tried that controller but here is a video showing that it works.
If you use OPL you can use a regular Bluetooth adapter to connect any Dualshock 3 and 4 to PS2 totally wireless.
How can that be done? What about DualShock 3/4 sensitivity, input lag and running discs?

I had a DreamGear Lava Glow wireless PS2 controller that served me well for as long as I had it, but I'm inclined to agree that an adapter with a newer first party controller is a much better solution.
Yes, exactly. The thing other users have suggested above is going to be the most reliable solution.
Sensitivity and input lag are fine considering brook converters are made to be used for professional tournaments.
This is an alright option if you only use opl but converters work for both actual disc and opl.

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
