DualShock 2 On Arch Linux

Hello everyone, a few days ago, I tried PCSX2 to see how well it would run on Arch, to my surprise, I did way better than on Windows 10, after that I was interested in buying a DualShock 2 to get an authentic experience. I went shopping for one, and incredibly I found an original one that came with a defective PS2 (the controller worked fine though), I also bought a blue triangle adapter to USB. I tried everything to make the device work to no avail, I tried it on Windows 10 as well with the same disappointing results, I think the adapter is the problem, because my system detects "Dual USB Joystick" but it doesn't have any input when I try jstest, so my question is this: Does anyone have a fully functioning DualShock 2 on Arch? I've seen a plethora of adapters on Amazon and none of them look promising at all, so I wanted to know if anyone has gotten one of these controllers to work with all its features, and if so, I would like to know how and with what adapter are you using it with.
