I don't know about the wireless version but I bought a Joytech Neo S Controller and it would be great, if it weren't for the looseness of the 2 analog sticks which make playing a FPS impossible. I can't recommend the regular version for this reason.

Hmmm, prob skip it then cause the sticks would be the same design but with a wireless interface...mmmm

Anyone else had similar experience?

The wife bought me a wireless controller from GAME (thier own brand). It is quality, wish they had voice support (maybe xbox2). Great for single play though, just keep it on the sofa arm all the time, turn over the tv and get back at it. Soon my whole house will be wireless, after some wireless rear surround speakers sometime this year.

Wiresless house...I'm there too!....keeps the bloody flowing!

This controller, post#1, is Live capable I'm duying to try it out....I might try it if it's poo, I'll flog it on ebay...

I think by Live enabled you will have to plug the communicator into the reciever end, ie at the xbox. Try to find a communicator extension cord. Then it becomes not wireless if you see what mean. I would try to confirm this before buying it.

yeah i agree ..or they could do a wireless communicator headset where the control bit just plugs into ur controller and you just wear the headset...wont be done because there is no big enough reason for it to happen....

and if the live headset had problems recieving/sending voice, it wouldn't be worth much

[grindkid25]

yeah and if theres all the people who keep the mic RIGHT next to their mouths so u get constant breathing whilst trying to enjoy ur game

According to this months OXBM the Joytech Neo S wireless has two slots and and is compatible with the live headset so it can be plugged into the controller itself and not the receiver plugged in the console

the pic in the mag though suggests that it plugs into the bit which goes into the xbox, and so you'd still have to sit close

we decided against stocking this item in the our shop due to the reason that there is a slight delay in response, most ppl wont notice it but it doesnt stop the fact that it is there - its the kinda thing that bugs me, even a split second delay and i hate it automatically. Ill stick with my official s-pad, no shoddy 3rd party nonsense for me

I have a wireless controller and must say that for anything quick I have to use the original wired one, they do have a delay even if it is very short.
