I'm interested in buying it, wondering if there has been any reviews on it yet. Anyone here try it? Is it any good? I remember the old one getting a lot of flack, but the new one looks pretty spiffy.

Any reviews/impressions for the new Logitech wireless PS2 controller?

I finally tried it at a friend's house a few days ago (right after he traded his old-style "husky" PlayStation 2 for the new "diet" model). It's got an excellent feel and was incredibly responsive. I tried it with Katamari Damacy and the demos of Jak 3, Killzone, and Neo Contra. It worked flawlessly with all of these; I never even thought of it as a "wireless" controller while playing.
I'd recommend it!

How's the D-pad for the Tony Hawk games and such?
I have both the Xbox and the PS2 editions and love them.
I like the analog sticks much better than the Dual Shock 2. The D-pad is pretty good; it has slightly too much travel and too little resistance for my tastes, but it's more than sufficient and is much better than the 'mushy' pads on most third-party controllers.

I had both but sold the Xbox one. The PS2 version is almost like having a real DS, but the Xbox one has a shitty D-pad and bad buttons/analog. (I could barely play fighting games with it because the controller wouldn't register double button taps and D-pad motions all the time, and when I played Vice City with it the cars would veer hard to the left/right unless I barely nudged the stick. That may all be the result of getting a skunky controller out of the batch though)

Magic question:
Will the wireless reciever still work with/fit in the PSTwo ports??
Magic question #2:
How is the wireless PS2 pad with 2D fighting games like Street Fighter, Guilty Gear and such...-

At this point, who cares. They'll make one for PS3. For PS2, just buy the one mentioned here, it pretty much looks and feels just as I've always imagined a wireless DS2 would.
#1: The receiver sticks out as much as a memory card and is roughly twice as tall. I think it would fit without a problem.Kleegamefan said:
#2: The D-pad gives me fits on fighting games. I'd definitely use a Street Fighter controller or my hidden gem, the Mad Catz Dual Force 2 Pro, instead of the Logitech.

IGN tacked on this very issue. There is a small problem, but it's easily solved if you put the console on the edge of the shelf, or in the vertical position:

It's not a big deal since I don't have to have my system pushed back to acomodate the controller since I can leave it on my coffee table. So leaving the system to the edge of wall unit is fine.
