The Logitech Cordless Action Controller for PS2 ($40) has essentially the same layout as the PS2's standard controller but adds two buttons: one that changes the intensity of the rumble feature and another that allows you to establish a connection with your PS2 without pressing a button that may affect the onscreen action. Folks who are put off by the PS2's one design flaw--the segmented directional pad--will take to the Cordless Action Controller's directional pad, which offers a much greater range of control.
The RF-enabled wireless controller comes with a small receiver that plugs into any PS2 controller port. The receiver and the controller act independently from the system, which poses a bit of a problem. The controller turns on when a button is pressed or one of the sticks are moved. But to conserve battery power, it turns off after it's been idle for a few minutes. Warning: don't leave anything sitting on the controller or any of its buttons while the system is turned off or you run the risk of shaving many hours off of the controller's 50-hour battery life. As with the Xbox version, this controller runs on two AA batteries, and while it doesn't come with rechargeables, it does accept them.
