Does a PS2 Controller Work on PS3?
Yes, a PS2 controller can work on a PS3, but you’ll need a PS2-to-USB adapter. Just plug it into your PS3 and you're good to go!

Yup, it works! You just need one of those PS2 to USB adapters. They're pretty cheap and easy to find online.
In short: Yes, with an adapter. No adapter? No luck.
I've used my old PS2 controllers on my PS3 for years with a simple adapter. It’s great for playing classic games that feel better with the old controller!
