Logitech Cordless Action™ Controller for PlayStation2

I love wireless controllers. My Nintendo WaveBird (of “Is that a WaveBird?” fame) is indispensable, and having purchased a PS2 I didn't want to go back to dealing with cords. I asked around and most said that the New Logitech 2.4 GHz wireless was the way to go.

Experience the freedom to play anywhere you want and eliminate cable clutter in your living room. The second generation Logitech Cordless Action™ Controller delivers the performance, convenience, and comfort you've been looking for. It's engineered to be small and light, yet it still uses Logitech's highly reliable 2.4 GHz radio frequency technology to deliver precise control with no lag.

Since I just had to buy a new phone because my old phone didn't play nice with my WiFi I was a bit nervous, after checking out the options it seemed that all PS2 wireless controllers that looked even 1/2 way decent utilized 2.4 GHz technology. I figured that worst case scenario I'd have to try and return it from whence it came.

I am happy to report that there are seemingly no interference issues with the Logitech and my WiFi network. In addition the Logitech uses hi-grade parts all the way through, giving the controller a very solid feel, and feels like it will last quite a while. I think it is also a bit bigger than the standard PS2 controller, which suits me fine. Unlike the WaveBird, the Logitech has rumble built in, and oddly no on/off switch or channel selector, I haven't spent much time trying to figure either one of those out, as I am so sucked in to Ico.

I give this controller 5 thumbs up, and I would recommend buying it.

So it's arrived!!!! (the PS2 that is) I'll see if I can't scrounge up that flight game and hustle it your way.

Is it all you'd hoped it would be?

Aye, it has, me boyee, aye it has...

(Though why I'm a pirate all of a sudden, I don't know)

It's actually more than I hoped. The controller isn't as irritating as I thought it might be, and I think I'm learning where the symbols are...

The "What I'm Playing" section says that you're playing Mark of Kri. What's the verdict on that?

No verdict yet. I've only played about enough to make sure that the game works. I don't want to judge it too heavily until I am more familliar with the controls, especially the unique combat style that it has.
