Default Any reccomended PS2-to-USB adaptors?

I recently got back into the habit of playing IIDX simulators after putting it off for two years, and I'd like to know if I could get any suggestions on which ps2 to usb adaptor to get, since there isn't really a thread about it that I know of. ^^;

I have two adaptors (the RadioShack PSX-USB adaptor, and the EMS USB 2 adaptor), but they both don't work properly. The Radioshack one doesn't work at all, even with the driver update, and the EMS one has some problems of its own: (At first it didn't work at all, but after I downloaded a driver update for 32 bit Vista computers despite my computer being 64-bit, it barely worked); For instance, when I slightly move the turntable up, it takes me up a good few song spaces, and in some cases, it's strangely mapped with the 4th white key while I'm playing a song. 0_o

So yeah, I'd like to know if there are any new PS2-to-USB adapters that anyone could reccomend for 64-bit Vista computers (and if anyone is wondering, my controller is a US KOC).

I have a super joy box 3 pro and it works really well for me. It's around 13 dollars (including shipping) from Play-Asia. I've never had to change the polling rates or make a timing adjustment in LR2.

EDIT: I am using a JKOC.

Heh, bought it from Amazon for 19 bones ( I also looked at the only review from there and said it was compatrible with my requirements). Thanks for helping me out. : )

EDIT: Actually, it's a Super Joy Box 5 pro, no wonder why it was 19 dollars. XD

Nice. How well does it work for doubles?

I don't know; Amazon said I should be getting it by the end of next week (also, I don't have a 2nd controller ^^; ) All I know about what makes the SJB 5 different is that it has 4 controller ports instead of 2, so I could use this for multitap if I hooked it on the PS2. XP
