Every wireless PlayStation 2 controller comes with a little plug-in receiver because the original controllers were wired but to do this, you have to plug your receiver into the controller port, then put AAA batteries in your controller, non-rechargeable ones are better because they have a longer life. Then you turn your joystick on, on most wireless controllers for PlayStation 2, the switch is found on the back above the battery cover,then a red light should come on both the joystick and the receiver.
