wireless controllers
1. nyko - air flow (4 out of 5 stars)
2. logitech - wireless (4 out of 5 stars)
3. madcatz - lynx (2 out of 5 Stars)
4. Wavebird (5 out of 5 Stars)
anyone have these?
i saw and read the review on tech tv and at their site for both,
so what if your playing multi player, can you use 4 at once or if you have a ps2 in different rooms will they interrupt each other?
what if you your playing the cube in one room and someone else is playing the ps2 in another will they interrupt each other?

got the wavebird & it rocks ... I only have one, but there is a channel selector on the controller & the receiver that plugs into the console and that is how they do not interfere. The bird has 16 different channels I believe. They just need to make different colors... right now I believe they only make grey ... it would be nice to be able to tell by color which one is which player...

Wavebird, all I can say from experience is that it works flawlessly, even through walls. Its a real impressive controller, and at a good price too. Its only $30 at Best Buy. I read that they are coming out with some more colors soon in Japan, it shouldn't be too long before they arrive here.
Once you go wireless you'll never go back to cords

I love my wavebird so much I bought a second one! The only downside is the lack of rumble, some people complain about the size but I like it better than the regular controller. The battery life is awesome, I leave it on pretty much all the time I still have yet to change the batteries since I got it (3 weeks ago) and I play GC at least 2 hours a day.

The lack of the rumble feature is the only thing keeping me from getting a wavebird for my GC. Is there any chance in the near future we will see a wireless controller that supports the rumble feature? I know the battery life is the issue but you would think they could put a small NiMH or something similar in it to last a bit longer with that feature.

I reluctantly bought a Wavebird, thinking that the lack of rumble would be an issue. It wasn't. Rumble is cute and all, but I find that I don't really miss it. You're basically replacing a gimmick with a useful feature.

The Wavebird rocks!
