Wow, this may be the one to beat the Action Cordless! Hori gets a big + for including additional features like Turbo (that'd be useful for Metal Slug).

The only things that 'may' be bad about this controller are the analog sticks, but i'll never know until i try. The dpad certainly looks alot better than Logitech's.

 

[belgurdo]

I might buy one, provided they actually last a long time (my Logitech couldn't even handle three months of GTA. wtf)

 

[123rl]

That looks nice. I might buy one if it's a good price and the wireless function is accurate. At least it's a nice shape and the dpad is a good style (unlike certain other wireless PS2 pads...)

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I wish PS3 had a regular controller port, I might actually invest in one of these things if it did.

 

[Doube D]

you can always buy a usb/port converter.

Does sony prevent 3rd partys from moving the analog stick up to where the d-pad is?

 

[Doube D]

i don't think they do but thank god for it. The 2 analogs positioned next to each other is the best config imo.

 

[Pochacco]

I could very well be wrong, but the plastic looks cheap.
Especially compared to the official DS2, this controller's build quality looks crappy.
Then again, I can't think of any controller that matches the Sony DS2's build quality.

[Cold-Steel]

I don't know about you guys, but that looks really cheap.

And by cheap, I mean - it looks like it'll fall apart easily.

 

[blackadde]

All the Hori stuff I have is solid.

 

[cyberheater]

It looks okay but what's the big deal about em.

Are they better then other PS2 wireless pads?

 

[SKOPE]

Aren't all of Hori's products like that? From the beginning, the plastic on my blue Wireless Anashin 2--Hori's old wireless PS2 controller--has regularly broken off into little shavings and the printed labels on my two GameCube Digital Controllers are partially rubbed off.

The design of the DS needs to go away. Everything else i hate about it: the dpad, shoulder buttons, and the analog sticks.

What the hell are you talking about? I thought everybody hated that stuff.

 

[llTll]

that is the best thing ever made in the gaming history when it come to controller. i hope i can get my hands on one like these.

actually come to think of it. sometimes i think the Nintendo REV is like his. but wirless

ya i agree. it look like its 7$ product.

 

[Gek54]

Nope, its only $19 and solid. One of the best controlers I have layed hands on.

For the most part, Sony iz still giving us a controller that dates back a decade ago. If you don't think there's anything better out there, then clearly you've been living under a rock.

[CO_Andy]

Seems like HORI wants a piece of Logitech's pie -->

 

[TTP]

We do

I dont. DS2 is one of the best controllers ever designed. There's a reason as to why "Sony iz still giving us a controller that dates back a decade ago".

 

[AndreasNystrom]

I remember Sony had LOADS of controllers that they tested to see which one was the most popular with the persons testing the prototypes, and the original without the analogsticks were the most popular.
Myself, i was pretty amazed by how good the sony pad was in my hands!.
I was used to the "make my fingers and hands-ache" like the Sega Genesiscontroller, or even worse, the original Nintendo pad!.
