I just saw a 2 pack of Pelican Eclipse wireless controllers for the XBox at Costco for $49.99. That seems to be an excellent price. Maybe I should buy 1 pack. They also had them for the PS2 for the same price. Controllers are different, of course.

You should pick up that Pelican pack... best wireless controllers I've tried.

I got that Intec one and have been using it. It's not as good as the Pelican one. It feels kinda cheap - not as solidly built as other controllers. The buttons are nice and the sticks are great, but the buttons are a tad too close to the right stick and that can sometimes cause a mis-hit. Also - there's something wrong with mine and sometimes the controller thinks I pressed a button when I didn't. It isn't that often, but I may have to get it exchanged for a different one. The rechargable battery is a great feature, but you still have to remove the battery pack to recharge it. no biggie. It's a decent choice - I'd rank it above the MadCatz one, but it's not as good as the Pelican or the Logitec.

I bought the Pelican version yesterday, and it's not working out too well. There's a noticeable delay between when I press a button and when the game reacts, and not all my button presses are even picked up. I'm returning it today.

Did you buy the 2 pack from Costco?

Chris

No... we only have 1 Costco in the area, and I don't even know if it's open yet. I bought it from Gamestop. I returned it today and got Prince of Persia instead.

Well since the mod's decided to lock the other thread..I am going to repost my question here..



I was thinking about going wireless for my PS2, Cube and Xbox. I have decided to get the Wavebird(obviously) for the Cube. The Airstyle (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?cat...ducts_id=3222& ) for PS2. I am however not sure what brand to go with for Xbox. I am leaning toward the Cosmo due to it looking so similiar to the S-Controller(http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?cat...ducts_id=3534& ). Has anyone here had any experience or heard anything about this controller? Is there a better alternative?

I've discovered that my wireless controllers -- a Wavebird for the Cube and two Pelicans for the Xbox -- work best when I unplug my old cordless phone.

I just recieved a reply from someone at Lik-Sang about the Cosmo Wireless controller. They stated that 'the performance is exactly the same as the original wired controller', when I asked if the analog sticks were loose (like the Logitech pad) or like the standard S-Controller. So not only does it look identical to the S-Controller, it might feel the same too. I think I will probably place an order for it and the Airstyle in the coming weeks.

thanx for the update flashburn. Lately I have put aside my Logitech wireless and have been using the S Controller. The Logitech's sticks are loose but don't bother me most of the time (no problems sniping & shooting in Halo). But for precision driving in Project Gotham 2 (esp. for the cone challenges), I needed to go back to the S Controller.

I was thinking about getting the Cosmo until I saw that it uses rechargeable batteries. I don't like the idea of having to worry if the batteries are charged when I want to play.

The newest logitech isn't as loose. They did a redesign w/o telling anyone. I am in the process of fixing the broken one and it is a tad different than the new one.

I think I may have a fix if anyone is interested in fixing or tightening up theirs.

That is good to hear. I might have to stop by Bestbuy and see if I can try one. I am still leaning toward the Cosmo due to its rechargable batteries included (with charger) and the almost exact S-Controller design.

Any word of Microsoft putting out a first party wireless controller?

I want to go wireless on my controller but I prefer to buy first party stuff since it usually handles better. And if I can't use a wireless on Xbox Live...what's the use?

I got the pelican 2 pack for Xbox from costco. the controllers seem to work fine, sometimes they dont seem to "sync" for a little while when i start a game. if i go up and unplug and then re-plug or change the channel and band they start working and dont have any further problems. They are near my internet wireless basestation (airport), maybe thats messing them up.
i think i'm just spoiled by the wavebird.

I like the feel of the Pelican since it is basically built like the controller s but with the black and white buttons also by the triggers, but when playing Project Gotham 2 I have to use the S since it has a better analog stick. I have yet to find a wireless controller that has the same feel as the controller s, maybe Microsoft will do a first party wireless soon.
