So I gonna make a handbrake to PS3 using old ps2 controller and microswitch.

Does anybody have good pictures about ps2 contollers chemists, where you can see CLEARLY what is the right spot for O and ground of O. Cant wait that, when I can start the project! :)

Yes, 9th and 5th pins are the ones. BTW, have you considered a possibility to use a cheap, probably non-analog controller? That would be atleast 10 times easier to solder on and wouldn't cost a dualshock.

I dont play PS2 anymore so it doesnt really matter :).

But as you can see in place 5. There is 2 points.. so right or left or does it matter?
 
Do you mean that place, where is "R5" printed on the PCB? That's not where you should solder anything. The pin numbers are for that long connector on the top right of the PCB - you need to solder on 5th and 9th pins of that connector.

for my handbrake i went to a scrap yard got a fiesta handbrake for £5, with a switch for the dashboard light, then opened up my g25 shifter, soldered to the o and ground points one half of a old mc2 wheel connector, then the pedal cable for the mc2 to the switch on the handbrake, connected the two together and voila a working handbrake :)
