7.5/10 — Logitech Cordless Action Controller (PS2)
Works with: PS2
Pros
- Reliable, lag-free wireless play
- Officially licensed by Sony
- Comfortable, contoured shape
Cons
- Needs AA batteries
- Working units are getting harder to find
- Second-hand units can have sticky buttons or worn sticks
The PS2 never had an official Sony wireless controller at launch, and Logitech’s Cordless Action Controller became the go-to option for players who wanted to ditch the cable.
Design and features
It’s officially licensed by Sony and connects via a receiver that plugs into the controller port, using 2.4GHz wireless. Players praised its comfortable, contoured shape and responsive, lag-free performance, with many calling it as good as a DualShock 2. It runs on AA batteries.
Buying one today
Working units with their receivers are increasingly hard to find, and second-hand pads can suffer from sticky buttons or worn sticks, so test before you buy.
Verdict
The Logitech Cordless Action Controller is the best wireless controller for PS2. If you can find a good one, it’s well worth it.
