I have had XBox for just over a year and have been impressed. The controllers were one of my favorite parts and this Pelican does not disappoint.

I have owned the Pelican Spirit wireless controller and was angered by the poor quality. I got this shortly after, having seen better reviews and here is my assessment of the controller overall:

Ergonomics: Excellent - the XBox contoller-S is perfect for me and this is very nearly the same thing

Lag: Excellent - nearly none whatsoever - 2.4 ghz transmitter ensures this

Functionality: Very Good - buttons are placed almost exactly the same - added white/black buttons are a bit superfluous and hard to reach though for smaller hands. Dual rumble packs are pretty good, but not as strong as the controller-s

Craftsmanship: Excellent - very well made - I have dropped it a few times with no problems whatsoever (had a problem with this with the Spirit)

Connection: Excellent - even with things in the way, the connection stays strong - auto frequency hopping keeps a strong signal for a good distance

Battery Life: Very Good - as with all wireless controllers, the battery life is by no means spectacular, but surpasses my other wireless controllers. have yet to change batteries


Overall: Excellent - for only $30, this is one of the least expensive wireless controllers. It's a well-made controller that serves its function very well. For the money, it's the best controller I've seen yet.

This review is from: PELICAN ACCESSORIES PL-2050 Xbox Edge Wireless Controller (Video Game)

I had seen reviews of apparently the PL-2050's forerunner and they were very poor. (Both the reviews and apparently the product too) But, the PL-2050 is a very nice controller. It feels a lot like the stock xbox controller, in both quality and function. I think I like the button location better on the PL-2050 than the stock controller and there is no noticeable lag Vs the wired controller.

The only "con" I can come up with for the PL-2050 is that I wish the RF receiver had a slightly longer cord. But, that is a very minor complaint.

I am tempted to get a second PL-2050 so my 1 year daughter will not have any cords to pull on. :-)

For the $ you can not beat this controller for a wireless controller.

After having another, close to the same controller I wanted to add another wireless controller as I got sick of the cords. While the shape, buttons and such are great and easy to use, this controller DOES NOT have a sleep function like my other controller does! Because of this, the batteries are ALWAYS dead, so I have to keep an extra set charged before I am able to use this controller. With my other controller, I can get several hours a day for several days use over several weeks with out needing to recharge the batteries. With this controller, I either have to take the batteries out after every use, or swap them out with freshly charged batteries before I can play. If I happen to forget to charge them before I want to play, I'm out of luck unless I want to play a single player game.

After having both kinds of controllers, having one with a sleep mode seems like a must for any gamer, and sadly this one does not have that option, which is why I am only giving it 3 stars.
