babygirl3171980 says "Wireless Nunchuck for the Wii! Weeeee!!" about Nyko Wireless Nunchuck for Wii

babygirl3171980 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:49:47 GMT

I picked up this handy little thing at my local Best Buy. For around twenty five dollars? Cant remember. I got it because the exercises on myJullian Michaels' game had me whipping myself in the eye, constantly. It was a godsend! it works great and uses two AAA batteries that last forever, or at least mine have.Im sure it depends on the brand. Anyways, it syncs easily with the wii, and can be interchanged between wii's. It comes with a little attachment for the Wiimote for the two controllers to work together.

trob787 says "Absolutely neccessary" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

trob787 — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 03:49:29 GMT

We have seen the pictures and had a few opportunities to play with the controller in its wired version, but this is the first time that we’ve had a wireless controller to take a thorough look at.

One of the things that we noticed when we grabbed the wireless Xbox 360 controller for the first time is how weightless it is, even with the batteries inserted. It is hard to believe until you hold each controller, but the truth is that the Xbox 360 wireless controller (with batteries) is lighter than the Xbox Controller S.

We can’t imagine how Microsoft found a way to make the previous controller even lighter without compromising the features, but somehow they found a way to make it fluffier. In fact, the quality of the materials used in the controller, from the enclosure to the different buttons and sticks, are first rate and feel much more solid than the previous controller. Third-party manufacturers will have to work hard if they want to surpass the solid look that the Xbox 360 controller...

Hahaha! Look Ma' - No Batteries!

AmRodriguez says "Wireless Controller for XBOX 360" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

AmRodriguez — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:36:32 GMT

Wireless controllers for my game console (X Box 360) have become a priority for me! It's so much more convenient than having the wires run across the floor. It's also great because I have a small dog (Chihuahua mix) who loves to chew on everything! If my boyfriend forgets to put the controller away, i don't have to worry about the dog being able to chew the wires. It's a complete hazard having the cords laying around. The only problem we have had, is forgetting to recharge the controllers. It's very rare they need charging, but if you don't charge them and the battery dies, it will shut off in the middle of a game. Another thing I love about the controllers, is that they can actually turn on the system! This happens, by pushing the XBox 360 button in the middle of the handles. I definitely suggest spending the extra money on wireless controllers, if you own the system! It's a great addition!

daprofessor217 says "A controller that is not very durable for hardcore gamers." about Playstation 3 Sixaxis Wireless Controller

daprofessor217 — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:23:12 GMT

The Sony wirelss sixaxis game controller is the original controller for the playstation 3 game console. It is very light and allows you to control some motions in game with the tilt of the controller, these features are fun at times but often times not practical. Also, for the hardcore gamers, the analog sticks become compressed and often times stick, which can become annoying. This controller should not be bought because of the price tag ($50) and it being made rather cheap. I would suggest people spend the extra $5 and buy the Sony dualshock 2 controller because it is of better quality....

Great controller. Rechargable, wireless, motion sensative, and easy to use. What else is there to say. It is the best controller on the market and is much needed to unlock the full potential of your ps3.

JunkersHVN says "A great accessory if you can overlook the strange design." about Nintendo Wii Zapper

JunkersHVN — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:36:01 GMT

I got a Nintendo Wii a while back, mainly for the Wii Sports game that came with it. Of course, you can't have a game system and not purchase at lease a few games and accessories. While browsing the selection of games and accessories at the store, I came across the Wii Zapper. The design looked strange but it was only $20 and it came with a game, so I figured it would be worth a try.

The Wii Zapper is not a controller in itself, it's just a housing for the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. The remote and nunchuck install easily into the housing but you have to remove the rubber "remote jacket" if you got one of the newer Wii consoles, which is quite a nusiance. Aside from that assembly is pretty easy. There is even a compartment where you can wind up the excess Nunchuck cord to keep it out of the way.

The design takes a moment to get used to, since it's more like a tommy gun than the common pistol shape. The design was partially to allow the trigger to press the B button on the Wii...

bionicle123 says "its okay but not enough" about Logitech 2.4ghz. Wireless Playstation 2 Controller

bionicle123 — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:36:18 GMT

this controller is okay. The only thing is that ssay you are going to some friends house and you take your controller and forget the freakin' sensor. This happened to me and i wasn't able to do much. I had to go back home and the the stupid sensor. Even though it avoids tangles, it requires batteries and batteries are expensive....

GFranchise says "Never had a problem, works great." about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

GFranchise — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:53:36 GMT

Great controller. Fits in your hands perfectly. Never had any problems connecting wirelessly with the console. Right and left buttons are a great add on and much better placed than the old xbox s controllers black and white buttons. Rumble is strong and responsive. Very precise in all buttons and movements... Get a play and charge kit so you don't have to use up AA batteries. Batteries last for quite awhile but you'll eventually pay for it....

Broseph77 says "The controller for Gamecube or Wii" about Nintendo WaveBird Wireless Controller for GameCube

Broseph77 — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:53:43 GMT

This controller is a Nintendo classic. The Wavebird Wirless controller is a revolution in wireless controllers. It has 16 settings (changed by a dial on the bottom) so the user is able customize the wireless setting to avoid interferance from other wireless devices or another Wavebird. The controller is identical to the wired contoller except it does not have the rumble feature. You don't really miss this feature though as you are so excited to have the freedom to play from up to 20 feet away. The controller takes 2 AA batteries and they last for a long time. If you can find this controller pick one up. It will quite the collector's item in a short time from now. I hope Nintendo chooses to make it again but for now you'll have to look for it on ebay, Amazon, or your local game store. I have no problems with my Wavebird and it is quite a work of art as i have the Platinum colored one! thanks for reading my Wavebird review!...

mrspierce2001 says "This is the best controller ever!" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

mrspierce2001 — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:17:42 GMT

This is the best gaming controller ever invented, by far! First off right out of the gate its cordless. Add in the long life of the batteries and its already almost perfect. But that wasn't enough. This thing turns on/off the 360! Its got the rumble pack and its got a good feel to it. Of course lots of folks say they cost a lot, but I say its an investment. I've had mine since the 360 came out and no problems so far. Totally worth the $$. Besides the games cost more than the controller does and you buy games all the time right? The only reason i've found to buy more of these is so my friends can play with me!!...

kid-kansas says "My old controller bit the dust, but I found a new one!" about Logitech 2.4ghz. Wireless Playstation 2 Controller

kid-kansas — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:46:40 GMT

For the past 2 years I have had a wireless controller for my Playstation 2, it was an off brand and I just wore it out. Well last week I was doing my monthly meat shopping at Sam's Club and I found this Logitech 2.4ghz. Wireless Controller.

The Logitech 2.4ghz. Controller

It is basic black and looks very similar to the original wired controllers that came with my Playstation 2. The buttons are marked the same and this has a Mode button as well as a on/off button for the vibrate function. The wireless receiver plugs into the controller port and is a compact design. My only gripe is that the handles are short and my big hands make it awkward at first to use.

It comes with 2 AA Duracell Copper top batteries, but not a lot in the way of instructions other than how to install it. Which is a matter of batteries in, plug in the receiver and play...lol This controller has a range of 30 feet and my chair is about 15 feet from the tv so that works perfectly for me.

The icing on the cake was while playing......

jmcmillion says "The best joystick for a serious gamer" about Saitek X52 Joystick

jmcmillion — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:06:50 GMT

I've had the various versions of this joystick through the years and have always considered it to be the best there is. It's sturdy and packed with features. The only drawback I found is the lack of game-specific .DAT files out there. The manufacturer should provide more to show how versatile this joystick/throttle combo really is. On the flip-side the included software to create your own is easy to use allows each control to be customized to your exact needs....

nell4him says "It's nice not to worry about tangled cords!!" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

nell4him — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:51:55 GMT

I have one corded controller and one cordless. I am going to purchase another cordless because the corded one keeps getting tangled, or gets unplugged when my dog passes through. I have already scratched one game by the cord being pulled and shaking the console. So cordless is definatly the way to go if you want to be able to play your games til the end. I play up to 20 hours a week and I only have to change the batteries once every couple of weeks. There is a great option for plug'n'play so your batteries can charge while you're playing, but with how long the regular batteries last, I don't think it's neccessary....

all4dom says "Very durable, does not break easily" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

all4dom — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:34:18 GMT

The 360 wireless controller is very durable and aslo comfortable. The rumble pack adds much feel as almost if you were in the game. It would take a lot for this controler to break. The 360 wireless controler is much more durable the the PS3 controler in my opinion and much more sleeker the the Nintendo controler. I do wish Microsoft included a rechargable batter built in instead of making it an add on....

mcmom says "Non-gaming mom thrilled with the durability!" about Nintendo WaveBird Wireless Controller for GameCube

mcmom — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 18:47:51 GMT

We've had this controller for at least 3 years now. I bought it because my son got close to yanking the whole game system off of his dresser a few times. I was a little skeptical as to whether it would REALLY work. Well, it does, even years later. We've even had a dog chew on the little joystick thing and it still works. Now my son sits on his bed 12 feet away and can play, no longer tethered to the system. We (I) love this controller.

I've used it for racing games like Burnout and Need for Speed, and sports games like Madden football and NBA Street, and others like Mario and Animal Crossing. It seems to work fine for me - but I'm no pro gamer either, so take that for what it's worth. We also now have a Wii and it works just fine with it, as well.

I like the durability, reliability, and ease of this product. It was more than worth the money....

StarSoldier1 says "Wires suck!" about Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

StarSoldier1 — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 15:48:39 GMT

Usually when a big gaming company releases a new controller for their consoles it's no big deal. Take that lame the Playstation2 pack in pad for example; it was pretty much the same controller as the Playstation1 Dual Shock controller but now you had to paid more money for it now. Microsoft wanted to do something special if gamers purchased the Premium Xbox 360 package though because it came with a fun new wireless 360 pad with a bunch of exclusive features. Is it any good though you ask?

First thing first; although the wireless pad comes free with the Xbox 360 Premium pack (well kinda free, the system is still 400 bucks, eh?), buying one by itself will set you back a whopping 60 bucks Canadian! Sure you get free AA batteries with it, that's still the price of a regular Xbox game and it is definitely a lot cash for just a mere controller here. Because of that this product won't be getting a full five star rating but that's not to say it's all bad.

The new white and sleek design is very light......
