4.0 out of 5 stars More next-gen, in some ways, than the SIXAXIS!, March 5, 2007

Ugly wires are a thing of the past. Wireless video game controllers are the new hotness. Those of you who haven't upgraded from PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 can feel at least a little more next-generation with Nyko's newest controller, the Zero Wireless PS2 Controller.

An immediately-recognizable feature is the aluminum face panel that makes the controller cool to the touch, at least initially. In hand, the controller feels a lot more like the Microsoft Xbox 360 pad than a PlayStation 2 one. The grips extend further down the hand rather than resting in the palm, and the index fingers rest on the L1 and R1 bumpers rather than the L2 and R2 triggers. The thumbs rest just between the digital directional pad and the left analog stick and the face buttons and the right analog stick.

The analog sticks are high-quality, responsive, and have just the right amount of resistance. They're far better than the Dual Shock 2's wimpy, wobbly sticks. The directional pad is very similar to the one found on the Xbox 360 pad in a way that it is actually a single circular piece rather than different buttons, like on the Dual Shock 2. The result is a directional pad that presses much differently, and is beneficial in most experiences. Fighting gamers might notice a little trouble, since the directional pad seems to rotate just a slight bit. The backlit face buttons feel slightly clicky, which makes them slightly less ergonomic than the buttons found on the Dual Shock 2. The L1 and R1 bumpers seem to have a little too much resistance, while the L2 and R2 triggers are too easy to press. It seems that the amount of resistance for the four buttons should have been reversed. Still, this doesn't cause any problem, it just feels different.

Charged with a USB cord, the Zero Wireless PS2 controller functions for more than 20 hours before needing to be recharged. Comparatively, this is about the same length as the Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 pad. To conserve battery life, rumble and backlight functions can be turned on or off. Without a rumble, PlayStation 2 gamers can feel even closer to SIXAXIS users, since the SIXAXIS controller doesn't support the feature.

The Nyko Zero Wireless PS2 Controller is a good deal for PS2 owners, retailing for $49.99. Its aluminum panel and backlit buttons give it a futuristic appearance, and its wireless technology puts it along next-generation controllers in functionality. If you are looking for a wireless pad, Nyko's Zero pad is the one to get.

2.0 out of 5 stars 3rd party has not changed., April 4, 2008

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Playstation 2 Zero Controller (Video Game)
I should know better but I took a chance with another 3rd party wireless
controller. Gt3 gives a very good test of any wireless controller on the ps2. Cars would sputter like running out of gas and lag was evident. I had
to go back to the wire. My gamecube/wavebird setting beside my ps2 works
great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool but dissapointing, October 20, 2007
By 
ben (new york) - See all my reviews
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Playstation 2 Zero Controller (Video Game)
Pro's:
This is the coolest looking PS2 controller I've ever seen.
It's much bigger than the Dual Shock 2,It's great for adult gamers.
The analog sticks & the D-Pad feel at least as good as Sony's Dual Shock 2.
It's wireless & the wireless connection is great.
The batteries are rechargeable.

Con's:
The FACE BUTTONS(square,circle,triangle,X buttons)are NOT PRESSURE SENSITIVE! I tried playing Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 with it & it was REALLY annoying trying to aim & shoot in first person & it made the game much more difficult.

The R1/L1 buttons are kinda stiff.
The R2/L2 buttons are kinda loose.

Verdict: Had I known that the face buttons were not pressure sensitive I would not have purchased this controller.
I payed less than $30.00 for it so I'm not terribly dissapointed.Good thing I did'nt pay the $50.00 MSRP.Then I would've been realy angry.
Just get Logitech's wireless PS2 controller instead,it's face buttons are pressure sensitive but it does'nt look as cool as this controller.
