The Cordless Precision has no slots to accommodate memory cards or standard Xbox Live Communicators. Instead, Logitech includes a small base unit that provides those slots and plugs into one of the Xbox's controller ports. You can plug the Communicator dongle into the base unit and stretch the headset's cord across the room--which pretty much eliminates the whole advantage of the controller's wireless design. A better solution is to invest in Logitech's excellent Cordless Headset, which liberates you from the tyranny of cables once and for all.
Button-layout and headset issues notwithstanding, this is arguably the best wireless Xbox controller on the market. Its 2.4GHz wireless technology gives it tremendous range, letting the signal penetrate nearly any intervening object. The Cordless Precision's response times are so fast that it's virtually indistinguishable from a wired controller during play. There's no on/off switch; the unit automatically shuts down after being idle for 5 minutes. We got more than 50 hours of use out of two AA batteries with the Rumble feature enabled the entire time. The rumble feedback isn't incredibly strong compared to that of Microsoft's wired controllers, but it's excellent for a wireless unit, especially considering the controller's low battery usage. The Cordless Precision is an excellent value for the money.
