5.0 out of 5 stars It's decent!, March 2, 2008

This review is from: Officially Licensed PS2 Wireless Controller - Silver (Accessory)

All in all, I would buy this controller again. There are a few annoyances, one being that it requires 3 AAA batteries. I read one review here about the R2 and L2 buttons getting stuck, I tried it, and the commenter is correct. If you squeeze down hard on them they can slide up a bit and get stuck in the controller housing. It's easily popped back out, and I honestly have never done that while playing. My other gripe is the analog sticks have a rubber coating, but they're quite slippery. Those points aside, it's still a great controller that has been completely reliable and the analogs have been perfectly accurate for me (that's always risky with 3rd party stuff, licensed or not.) Also, the buttons are a lot more tactile than the Dualshock 2, that controller's buttons were rather mushy. One last aspect worth mentioning is that the controller has a sort of coating on it that makes it nice to the touch and prevents it from becoming slippery. Between this controller and Logitech's wireless controller, it's a bit of a tossup. I like and dislike certain aspects about each one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Improvement over "standard" controller, March 26, 2008

I bought a pair of these for the obvious advantage: no wire. I was pleasantly surprised by the other improvements that I discovered.

The analog control sticks don't have the rubber grips on them. This was an added surprise because the fact that drove me to buy new controllers in the first place was that these grips had worn off and it was annoying. The control sticks are solid plastic with a texture to aid grip.

The buttons seem sturdier. Yes, I am a button masher. I have stuck more than one "triangle" key in my day. The directional buttons and the other buttons are much resilient and durable that the "standard" controllers. Another welcome surprise.

If you're looking for a comparable controller to the stock ones that come with the PS2, this is definitely worth a look.

Excellent product allows you to sit on your couch or bed while playing the PS2. I have had no trouble parring the device to the console and connection has not yet been interrupted during game play. The end of the receiver lights up blue to tell you that it is connected and functioning, or flashes if it cannot find the controller (ie, before inserting batteries). Additionally the controller has the vibrate on/off buttons to save battery life.
