Wireless XBox controllers?

[Syringer]

Anyone know of the different wireless controllers available for the XBox? I'm looking for one that works similiarly to the standard Xbox controller for a price that's reasonable..

the logitechs are by far the best. radio signal, so you don't need a clear path to the xbox. have the rumble feature and don't drain batteries fast at all. they have both the precision controller (similar to the type-s) and they have a regular version thats like like the big M$ controller.

they are expensive though, about $50-70, but worth every penny.

I have the logitech one and I love it.

It's not software.

I have a MadKatz. I prefer the feel of the original or S-controller. The wireless doesn't feel as good, but I like the wireless convenience.
It chews through rechargable batteries though.

do regular "copper tops" last longer?

Costco had a 2 pack of the Pelican Xbox Wireless controller for $30 or $35. seems like a good deal to me... they looked more like the s-controller.

Hmm, any idea how those $30 madcatz one perform? I wonder if I can go to EBGamez and test them out or something..

Hmm, so how long do batteries usually last? And what batteries are you using? Ni-CD or Ni-Mh?

Ni-Mh.
I don't play very much lately in the summer, so I might play an hour or 2, then forget about it for a week, and the batteries are dead.
It powers down after 10-15 of no use to preserver batteries, but it must be sucking juice just sitting there.

maybe bad rechargables? who knows.

I only had disposable batteries in the first time and I think they lasted at least a couple weeks.
