Description

Experience the freedom to play anywhere you want and eliminate cable clutter in your living room. The second generation Logitech Cordless Precision Controller delivers the performance, convenience, and comfort you've been looking for. It's engineered to be small and light, yet it still uses Logitech's highly reliable 2.4 GHz radio frequency technology to deliver precise control with no lag.

Features

• Smaller, lighter, more comfortable, and more familiar
• 2.4 GHz radio frequency wireless technology with a lag-free range of 30 feet (10 meters)
• Requires only 2 AA batteries (included) to achieve 50+ hours of battery life with vibration on
• Mini receiver plugs directly into console
• Official Xbox compatibility approved by Microsoft
• Sleep mode - The gamepad goes into a sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life
• Dual vibration feedback with on/off button lets you feel the action
• Mode/Status lights on gamepad and receiver
• "Low battery" indicator

One of the few 2.4 GHz devices that has no effect on my network. Barely use my Xbox, But works well. I do however recommend purchasing rechargable batteries as this did drain rather quickly.

26 reviews on Amazon has yielded an average 4 out of 5 star rating which is very good.

Here are the first few:
************************
I bought this controller because I was sick and tired of flinging cord all over the place, and untangling it too. It works great and it's comfortable. The thumbsticks have a greater range of motion than the stock xbox controllers and the buttons are very responsive. In other words, a quality product. The battery life is good too, provided you get some of those digital device batteries from either Energizer or Duracell and don't use the vibrate function.

But, there is no slot in this controller, and believe me, it's a major, major drawback. I agree it might have been a plot by Logitech to sell their own brand of cordless headset, but given the abysmal quality of the headset makes it very underhanded. Basically, the inability to connect a wired headset to this controller forces you to switch back to a wired pair of peripherals to play online, which ruins the whole wireless experience.

Other than the above, if you play a lot of single-player games and don't mind switching from wireless to wired you'll love this controller.
*************************

This controller is absolutely phenomenal. Not only is it wireless, but it corrects my only gripe about the Microsoft S-Controller:

I'm 6'3", and have fairly large hands. I love the layout of the S-Controller, but the "arms" are too short for my hands. This leads to pretty nasty cramps in my pinky fingers during long sessions, and ends runs in Forza and Call of Duty long before I'm ready to quit.

The Logitech controller's arms can't honestly be more than a half-inch longer than the S-Controller's, but it makes a world of difference. I highly recommend this controller not only for it's fantastic wireless performance, but for actually being *more* comfortable than the S-Controller.

Another reviewer posted a gripe in regards to the lack of a memcard/headset slot, and it's a valid complaint. I found the perfect solution in the Logitech Wireless Headset, which can be had here for $20. It works great, and it should be noted that Microsoft still wants $30 for the standard wired headset, which comes with an incredibly-weak clip for the boom mic.

All in all, this controller is absolutely the best one you can find for the Xbox. Pair it up with the wireless headset from Logitech, and you have a completely wireless control/chat setup for $50 a pop. You honestly can't do better, for any amount of money.

I thought when I up graded to the plasma things couldn't get any better I was wrong the wireless is the cherry on top I love this thing
***********************
The controller is exactly like the Microsoft controller so the transission is easy plus the freedom of being up to 30 feet away from the T.V. and not having a cord in the way. The controller works perfect.

These are really good units. I have bought a few different wireless controllers for my son's x-box and these have been around the longest. The price here is actually really good even with the $5.00 shipping.

8.5
out of 10

The good: Wireless; just as responsive as a wired controller; good battery life.

The bad: Some ergonomic issues; no controller slots for non-Logitech Xbox Live communicators.

The bottom line: Logitech's Precision controller offers excellent performance for cordless Xbox gaming.

This is a must have, July 9, 2004
By G. Bongiovanni (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews


I owned the first Logitech Cordless Controller for the Xbox and thought I would never replace it, but think again. This controller is amazing. Not only can you walk to the other side of the room or relax while playing without cords it never misses a beat. The size is significantly smaller than the first controller making it easier to hold. Anyone who owns an Xbox must purchase this amazing product.

Perfect Except for One Revenue-Generating Flaw, January 31, 2005
By Jay Kelly (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews


My experience with this controller has been nearly flawless. Wireless beats wired up and down the field, and there is simply ZERO lag with this controller. None. No complaints at all with button or d-pad sensitivity, but perhaps I am not the connessieur that other reviewers are. The smaller controller makes for a different, but qualitatively equal, experience than the standard XBox controller.

HOWEVER I have this against you, Logitech: You conveniently neglected to include a headset slot on the controller. Since my constant play of Ghost Recon 2 on XBox Live is threatening to cause my early exit from graduate school, this brother NEEDS a headset. But this leaves me with only two options:

1) Get really, really close to the tv screen, which my momma told me never to do.

OR

2) Buy a wireless headset from--wait a minute!--from LOGITECH! Funny how that works out. I wonder if that crossed the minds of any of the execs at Logitech when they were designing this little beauty? Nah, probably not. I'm sure this is an oversight that will be corrected with their next-gen wireless controller.

So now I have to decide whether to buy 2 or 3 used games OR a wireless headset. I think I'll risk the vision impairment and sit close to the screen . . .

Bottom Line: PERFECT wireless controller. SNEAKY design by Logitech.

(I really, really apologize for using the words 'connessieur' and 'qualitatively' in a review of a video game controller. It won't happen again, I promise.)

GREAT!!!...for the first six months..., June 21, 2006
By D. Couse "darkman1969" (United States) - See all my reviews


Fun:
This controller was fantastic. It worked great for Halo and all of the Ghost Recon's. Very sensitive and quick response. I absolutely loved it.

Then one day, it decided to start acting on its own. My characters started moving by themselves...planes started flying themselves. Very odd.

Slowly at first, I was able to correct the controller. A quick movement on the thumb stick or D-pad stopped the controller from acting on its own.

Now however, it's too far gone to bring back. For some reason the controller is stuck on the down movement. Nothing I do can fix it.

So now I have a cool looking paper weight. Do not buy this as it will fail. It is only a matter of time. If you don't believe me, look on eBay and see all of them for sale. Oh yeah, look closer. they are all refurbished! What does that tell you?

EDIT:
As an update to my original post, I've FIXED my controller. If you are having problems, try this. It is straight from the Logitech website (allbeit, buried in their knowledgebase)

Question
How do I calibrate the Logitech Cordless Precision Controller for Xbox®?
Answer


Normally there is no reason to re-calibrate the Cordless Precision for Xbox®. In rare cases where the mini-joysticks may need to be re-calibrated, you can use the process below. Please note that this process only works for the Cordless Precision Controller for Xbox®.

1. Remove one battery.
2. Hold the Left Trigger and Start buttons while re-inserting the battery. (NOTE: Do not touch or move the mini-joysticks at all during this time. It is very important that the mini joysticks are allowed to center themselves during this step or the calibration procedure will not be successful.)

The mini-joysticks should now be re-calibrated. Please note that in some cases you may need to resynchronize the gamepad and receiver after this procedure. For more information on resynchronizing this device please see Knowledge Base Article 457.
