I'm using wired ps2 controllers, but want to switch to wireless.. i tired a ps2 wireless in the past but had a few issues.. i might try again but i'm wondering if anyone uses wireless ps2 or xbox controllers hooked up to their pc?

I have a pair of Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 controllers that I use for my emulated console games and really like them.

I'm using a wireless Xbox360 controller, and it's working flawlessly. (tested on Vista only)

I haven't tested with more than one though ...

I wanted to go the PS3 route, but Sony didn't make official windows drivers, and the unofficial ones didn't work on a 64bits vista last time I tried.

xbox 360 controllers are quite good and for 42â?¬ on amazon for the wireless ones its a really good deal!

I second that. They are the absolute best. Simple and you can 'hook' 4 of them to the pc at once. Plenty of buttons too. Go with them and you will not regret it.

just to make it clear, you'll still need to buy the USB receiver http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox3...gamingreceiver/

And maybe the USB charger pack (so you won't need batteries anymore)

After that, just have fun

you guys have any issues binding multiple buttons to exit a game?

*chimes in late* Super Joybox 5 and four PS2 Kitanas (wireless) work great for me, and the adapter was only like $25.

I use a pair of Logitech Rumblepad 2's as well. No issues with them...other than they always want to be controllers 1 and 2. As a result, I had to remap my MAME stuff to joystick 3 for my GP-Wiz.
