Strengths: More of a question than review, i apologize

Weaknesses: Not sure yet

Summary: I bought 2 refurbished logitech cordless action controllers off of ebay but came with no instructions. I can get one of them to work but not the other. Is there something I have to do with the button on the logitech receiver plugged into the ps2? I am just not sure if I am doing something wrong or if the one controller just does not work. Any input would be appreciated and sorry for asking a question on a review of the item.

Strengths: Ergonomic, responsive, buttons feel just right.

Weaknesses: No on/off switch. Turns on if a button or stick is pressed.

Summary: These controllers are great. I've always been wary of wireless due to stories of signal lag, short battery life, and the interference potential. So far, I've experienced none of these issues. The controller just feels right in the hand, has no noticeable lag, experienced zero interference incidents, and battery life is just fine despite my only complaint. This is THE controller, definitely worth every penny.

Strengths: this controller is everything as advertised, I had lots of fun using it

Weaknesses: the long time durability is in question

Summary: I've had mine for over 2 years now and the X button broke so the controller is useless to me now. I don't think I've been any rougher than the average gamer, as a matter of fact I DON'T like the button slamming games. The roughest I get is in hack 'n slash games like Champions of Norrath (where you can hold the button for multiple attacks).The problem is that Logitec chose to use rubber for the "spring" action of the button and the rubber broke for my X button, so the button sticks in the down position.I really enjoy the freedom a wireless controller gives and I'm having trouble deciding if I want to buy a new Logitec or not (I have the 1st gen Logitec wireless as well - it is a battery HOG though). It would help if I knew I'd get more durability out of whichever controller I bought.

Strengths: Great controller repsonds wells fells well. Not too heavy and not too light. Doesn't feel look or respong cheaply like a madcatz or any other offbrand controller.

Weaknesses: The one flaw in the design of the controller is that if you set the controller down to where any of the buttons are pressed including analog sticks, then it will eat your batteries. Otherwise the batt

Summary: A good feeling good responding controller. Logitech generally makes good quality gear and this is controller is no exception. It has a minor problem or two, but in my experiences its the best overall cordless ps2 controller on the market. I now own 4 of these controllers. I only with the PS2 was as durable as these controllers are.

Strengths: wirelessnes lol, Sony liscenced, made by logitech

Weaknesses: no rechargable batterys :( reciver is slightyly lo large for slimline ps2

Summary: WEll the best wireless controller out theren in my opinion, i have tried about 3, dont ask me for the makes i dont remember, the main problems with the 3 were, random signal drop when ever the rumble pak rumbles (im looking at you madcatz ;( lol ) battery life that lasts like an hour, no rumble, and acctually being a cr***y controller design. Youll be pleased to know that this controller has none of those faults! but it does have one, which isnt that big, when you plug the reciver in to the slimline ps2 design it lifts the ps2 up slightly, which im guessing isnt good for the controller port. Luckly its easily fixible if you put a ps2 case under the ps2, or if you buy a vertical stand for it (look on ebay or amazon). the controller is made by logitech, which is a good thing, as logitech make loads of accessories for the ps2, such as the 2 offical design ps2 headsets, keyboards (not sure if thats sony liscenced thought ???), eyetoy i think ,sorry if its not, and loads of other ps2 junk. they all seem pretty good having used quite a lot of them, but one the logitech cordless controller for ps2 and ps1, 1st gen, this controller is rubbish, thats why they brought out this controller.
