Is There a Good Wireless Controller for PS2?

I got a Wavebird for my GC a few weeks ago and love it. I'm wondering if there is a similar product for the PS2. Thanks.

I believe Logitech makes a wireless controller for the PS2 and X-box.

I know there's one out there, I'm just not sure on the company.

The reviews I've read weren't very favorable. For one it's more expensive, around $50 I believe, and it's supposed to "feel like a cheap third party controller" to paraphrase several reviews. If you've used any third party controllers, you know what they mean.
On the bright side, I think the wireless technology works well, and it has rumble (if you don't mind killing the batteries much quicker.

Does anyone know if there is one with a quality build? I don't care if it has rumble or not. I just hate rearranging the living room furniture everytime I want to play the PS2 (which will be alot when GTA: VC arrives!). Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the one I mentioned is the only wireless controller with RF technology on the PS2 or X-box.

I'm dying for a good wireless PS2 controller as well.

The Logitech one is pretty good. It's 2.4 Mhz so it has good range. Plus, Logitech always makes solid peripherals, so it is quality. It also licensed through Sony, unlike the Mad Catz one.

I think MadCatz makes an Xbox one and perhaps they make a PS2 one as well.

I was thinking, and I may be wrong, that Sony was going to come out with a wireless controller late this year or 2003

I heard that somewhere too. I'm going to wait until Sony & Microsoft release official one's. I've never had anything but problems with 3rd party controllers.
