**2die4** · 12th March 2005

just wondering if anyone has got any wireless controllers for there xbox. What model you got and what are they like ? Also whats the range and battery life like ?

I'm thinking of getting a couple but just want to know if anyone out there has them and how they rate.

cheers !.

I have the joytech ones (got them from Gamestation) they are brilliant and the batterys havent given out yet - had them 3 months. I do have the rumble switch off most of the time though. Range is more than the size of my house.

cheers for the ironman, will check em out. Are they about the same size as the MS Controller S or are they similar in size to the older larger controllers ?

Bought a pair of freebird wireless by Logic 3 from gamestation and I must say they are as good as the wavebirds I have for my gcube, come with built in rumble but dont use it if u wanna conserve battery life and just a nice size too, about the same as the S controllers and at 20 quid a piece u cant grumble. use them all the time for pro evo 4 and battery life is good with a good thirty metre range without any lag or loss of frequency.

hope this helps.
Good solid build worth every penny.

oh and forgot they come with batts too although i use recharge most of the time
