Home > Consumer Reviews > PlayStation 2 Cordless Action Controller

One thing I always hated about game consoles was the constant tripping over tangled wires. Wires intersecting each other, making a mess of things.

Enter the Logitech Cordless Action Controller!! This is without a doubt one of the best controllers I've ever used! The controllers is very well made. The feel of it is very natural in your hands, though slightly different than the original PS2 Dual Shock. There's a nice satin like finish that prevents alot of dirt from your hands from making the controller too slippery. There is literally no notciable lag or delay in the controller's operation. The controllers 2.4 ghz signal ensures that you won't miss any of the action. Every function of the original is reproduced faithfully. Installation is extremely simple. Plug the reciever into your PS2's controller port and simpley press the action button to get a signal. There is also a button on the reciever to make the connection if needed. The battery life (the controller takes two AA batterys) is approximatley 300 hours without the vibration mode and 50 hours with the vibration mode on. A small sacrifice to make for a great product such as this.

I really can't say enough good things about this product. It's great if you have small children in the house especially. No more worrying if they are going to trip and drag the console across the room. In fact this is such a great controller I'm considering buying a second!

Well you won't go too wrong with this controller here as it's performing better than any other PS2 controller I've used so far. It fits comfortably in your hands, the response time is fluid, the analog sticks and buttons perform as well as Sony's DualShock 2 if not better. My only complaint would be the D-pad. Where sony's has the 4 way d-pad protuding from the controller for better location of direction, the logitech one has 8-way pad which could hurt if you need to pinpoint a certain location and at times feels stiff. The wireless adapter is sleek and lights up green for each button press or directional change. The Vibration function is very strong and can be easily tuned off. Also the finish of the controller itself is smooth and should prevent sweaty palms. If you want the best performing controller for the PS2 and are sick of wires, then this is the only product you should spend your money on.

I have had this controller for about 3 days and I must say I am very impressed. After getting used to my Xbox 360 wireless controllers I decided to go wireless for the rest of my systems. Naturally I got the wavebird for gamecube and did some research on PS2 controllers. I have had my ps2 for almost 4 years and have never been a fan of the dual shock 2 controller as compared to xbox controller. This logitech controller is so much more comfortable than the dual shock controller. I have experimented with 4 different games with this controller and I must say I have not experienced any lag. I would take this controller over dual shock 2 controller any day. the shape of the controller is so comfortable, its hard to believe it is 3rd party. Sony should have had logitech design the ps3 controller. This controller does not feel cheap in any way. It is weighted very well and feels solid and sturdy. It has helped me become excited about my ps2 again. Anyone who is in the market for a wireless ps2 controller should pick this up. I did a ton of research on ps2 controllers before picking this up and found that this got the best reviews of any other wireless controller for ps2.

I bought 2 of these controllers for my kids, because I didn't want cables in the middle of our Family Room nor did I want them sitting too close to the TV when they played.
This controllers are excellent. They work perfectly, they are easy to store because of the lack of cables, the weight is fine for small children, the range of the signal is more than enough and they aren't battery eaters. I use them as well and they are wonderful.
They are much better than the ones that comes with the playstations.

It's true what everyone says about this controller, it is great, has good range, feels good, no lag, excellent battery life, but the buttons stick!
I bought it a week ago and the buttons stick from the beggining. I understand Logitech is aware of this problem and they will replace the unit if your buttons stick, but it doesnt matter because the unit they will replace it will also has buttons that will stick eventually since the construction is the same. My friend has this controller and his buttons also stick especially the x button (aka. the most used button in the controller) So unless you want to experience the inconvenience of sticky buttons I suggest you stay away from this controller unless you know that Logitech has corrected this problem.
