Do the PS1 and PS2 use the same controller?

Yes, PS1 and PS2 controllers use the same connector and are largely interchangeable, with PS2 controllers working on PS1 and vice-versa, but PS2 games requiring the DualShock 2's analog pressure-sensitive buttons won't fully function with a PS1 controller, while most PS1 games work fine with PS2 controllers. The PS2's backward compatibility allows it to recognize older peripherals, but the key difference lies in the button functionality, where the PS2 has analog action buttons (like X, Circle, Square, Triangle), not just the analog sticks.

PS2 controllers also work on PS1 consoles.

Can rubbing alcohol fix stick drift?

Yes, rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol, ideally 90%+), applied carefully with a Q-tip, can often temporarily fix stick drift by cleaning dirt and grease from the joystick's internal potentiometers, but it's a temporary fix for dirty components, not a permanent solution for physically worn-out parts, and it requires letting it dry fully. It works by dissolving grime, but repeated use can wear down the mechanism if the part is already damaged, so use sparingly and only if the drift is due to buildup.
