Every time I use my PlayStation 2
, I need to roll my video game cart closer to the sofa because the standard PS2 DualShock 2 controller cable is too short. I don't have this problem with the long cable on the Xbox
Controller S, or with the brilliant Wavebird
wireless controller on the GameCube
.
I've tried a variety of wireless controllers for the PS2, I can't stand any of them. None have the perfect button throw of the DualShock, or the accurate D-Pad. Although the most popular wireless controller, the Logitech Cordless Action
, has a really comfortable form factor, it has clunky (slow!) buttons and one of the sloppiest D-Pad's I've used.
My solution? Too obvious! Buy an extension cable. Not a bad option for just a few bucks, eh?
