Wireless PS2 controllers

Anyone have one of these? Which is best? Are there problems with battery life, interference, or response delays? Looks like there are some from Logitech, Mad Catz, Chameleon, and Hip Interactive. Thoughts?

I have a preditor that I got at the sony store at the San Marcos outlet mall. It was $19 or $29 and works like a champ. 2 AA's last a week to 2 weeks.

I have some and they are pretty cool. But if you are playing a game where timing is crucial (sports games) they do have too much delay. I switch to the wired ones then.

I'm using an AirStyle W-Shock controller. It's about as good as the regular PS2 controller in terms of controls and ergonomics, with some tradeoffs. The Dpad is much better, but the shoulder buttons are a little too loosely set. The analogue sticks lose the huge dead zone, but the surfaces on it aren't as nice. Course, a lot of the surfaces on the pad are hard rubber, so it feels better than the PS2 pad, and you can probably beat someone to death with it fairly easily, it's built like a brick.

Only big issue is that it's 900 mhz, kinda short range, across most normal rooms is fine, and apparently wants the console to be on roughly the same level as the controller, but otherwise, it works very well.

I have the Mad Catz and it works great on sports games, shooters, but not on some race games. Try buying on ebay, probably alot cheaper. Light starts blinking when the batteries are dying, replace and its as good as the wired version.
