5.0 out of 5 stars Mad Catz PS2 Wireless Control Pad, November 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: RF 900MHZ Wireless Control Pad (Video Game)

This is a totally awsome controller! My friends and I used it for a number of hours after I bought it and we all agree it is the best controller we've ever used, particularly because it has no cord to get tangled up or pulled out. I get very animated when I'm into a game and having a cordless controller really helps. Also it's rechargable and you don't have to mess with batteries. It does take 10 hours to charge after being fully drained, so you'll want a spare ready if you play much longer than 5 hours. In my opinion it is better than any other wireless option for PS2, especially wireless kits that are inserted between a normal controller and the PS2 (very clumsy).
It is the most expensive controller available, but well worth it if it fits your budget.

2.0 out of 5 stars totally unplugged, December 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: RF 900MHZ Wireless Control Pad (Video Game)

(...) I am sending both of mine back for a refund. I got these to get rid of the cords however the delay that the controllers have makes gaming impossible for certain games. While they may work on some games (...) having to change back to regular controllers is not worth the hassell. I even called MadCatz they were very polite and professional though they did admit the Metal gear solid 2 was unplayable with them. We love to play Frequency and the controller delay makes the expert levels impossible to compensate for. MadCatz say they are working on the problems, apprently they forgot to test the controllers on more than one game. Until they can or will ever be able to fix these issues I am using the stadard controllers

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely nice to roam the game room!, January 1, 2002

Despite the price ..., we've been very happy with this remote controller. The battery charge has a good duration and being able to sit anywhere in the game room is great (e.g., next to the end table with a beer, on a stool in front of the TV, near the doorway while waiting for pizza delivery, etc). You generally don't need to point the controller at the console unless the battery charge is getting low. Although some folks mention a response lag, I haven't seen it. Availability seems to be the biggest issue -- we'd like to get another controller but they're sold out everywhere, seemingly. A wireless controller will be great for parties, too (no cables to trip on). The Mad Catz 900MHz controller does what it says it does, and we recommend it. Hopefully the price wil come down in the future...
