I need to get the wires out of the way. Do the wireless controllers work as well as the hardwired controllers? Maximum distance from the console would be about 20ft. Can anyone recommend a good wireless for the XBOX? |

Get the extensions for the cords, and route them out of the way. (I'm looking for a set since my 18 month old  daughter seems to enjoy stepping on the cords and D/C'ing them - usually just when ol' dad's about the get the kill shot on a level boss...)

I was in a bar a while back that had wireless controllers on their XBox and they seemed to work well but I don't know what brand they were. And just for the record, I'm not into sports games but XBox Madden football on a widescreen TV in a bar is pretty kick ass. |

I bought the Pelican Brand 2.4 Gig wireless at Wallyworld for $27. It works well so far, had it about a month now. The vibration motors aren't as strong, but the 2.4 gig is great! Goes through walls, the dog, etc. I love it. I have about 15 feet of open space between my chair and the Console. Just enough to where the cable would be off the floor just enough for the dog to get tripped up in it. So, the wireless controller is great. Sure I could have moved the console onto the floor, or moved the chair a foot closer, but where's the fun in that!? |

I've got a Pelican wireless controller. After adjusting the control sensitivity, it works fine. Just make sure there isn't anyone else nearby using one on the same frequency, otherwise you'll get interference. Words cannot describe how pissed I get when I am desperately trying to shoot someone in HALO 2 multiplayer and not only will it not shoot when I pull the trigger, it keeps trying to make a right turn off a cliff. I died three times while changing frequencies until I found the one nobody was using. |
