I bought the Nyko Zero controller for the PS2 at GameStop on Thursday morning (10/02), along with a copy of Lego Batman, since I only had 1 controller, and wanted to use the multi-player option of Lego Batman. Between Thursday and Saturday, I used the Zero controller for approximately 10 hours before the left joystick broke from it's grounding. At first, I thought the joystick might be stuck, but then the control started sliding everywhere. I took it back to GameStop the very next morning (Sunday, 10/5), and got another Zero Controller with no hassle. After getting home and using the controller for about 2 hours, the EXACT SAME JOYSTICK BROKE! I'm not a "button masher" and am usually careful with wireless controllers, finding them to be much more fragile than their wired counterparts. I thought at first that the first controller breaking may have been my fault, but the second breaking in exactly the same way just proves that the workmanship on these controllers is not up to par with other wireless controllers. I finally ended up returning the controller AGAIN, and buying a cheaper used controller from the "as-is" rack. I highly recommend that people stay away from this particular model.

I should know better but I took a chance with another 3rd party wireless
controller. Gt3 gives a very good test of any wireless controller on the ps2. Cars would sputter like running out of gas and lag was evident. I had
to go back to the wire. My gamecube/wavebird setting beside my ps2 works
great.

Edit- Why did nyko screw its customers by selling these controllers for 2 months(when I got mine last year amazon had already sold out)?? I wanted to get 2 more because I just bought the multi tap but cannot find them anywhere even ebay apparently they screwed the ps2 owners in favor of PS3 owners even though like in this review the pressure sensitive is VERY important for the new games plus no bluetooth I know for a FACT that these are failing hard for ps3 did it ever cross Nyko's mind that the PS2 is STILL selling well over 200,000 units a month? I am beyond angered about this because these are the only good wireless controllers for ps2 besides logitech's controllers that have a 3 month life limit before the buttons stick or the analogs stop working. Whatever heres my review for the controller:

Ok I really dont need to say much because Ben's review is pretty much right on the money, but the L1/R1 buttons on my controller are not nearly as stiff as when I first got them but thats because I play A LOT of FPS's. Sadly all of the buttons are NOT pressure sensitive including the shoulder buttons but the logitech controllers are in my opinion NOT pressure sensitive either- for racing game they kinda are but if you have to be precise with the amount of pressure then no you will have to use the standard dual shocks. The analogs have good grip but I wish they would have used stickier rubber like the 360 controllers but they get the job done. O My FAVORITE THING(being sarcastic) these controllers do is when the battery or batteries are getting low(this is pure genius-being sarcastic yet again) every lit up button flashes and you cant turn it off either- that just guarantees any life left in the controller will be drained out at record speed. Honestly I have no idea what kinda crack was smoked when they decided this was a good idea. Other than the problems I mentioned these are very very great & very high quality controllers perfect for FPS's.

Pro's:
This is the coolest looking PS2 controller I've ever seen.
It's much bigger than the Dual Shock 2,It's great for adult gamers.
The analog sticks & the D-Pad feel at least as good as Sony's Dual Shock 2.
It's wireless & the wireless connection is great.
The batteries are rechargeable.

Con's:
The FACE BUTTONS(square,circle,triangle,X buttons)are NOT PRESSURE SENSITIVE! I tried playing Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 with it & it was REALLY annoying trying to aim & shoot in first person & it made the game much more difficult.

The R1/L1 buttons are kinda stiff.
The R2/L2 buttons are kinda loose.

Verdict: Had I known that the face buttons were not pressure sensitive I would not have purchased this controller.
I payed less than $30.00 for it so I'm not terribly dissapointed.Good thing I did'nt pay the $50.00 MSRP.Then I would've been realy angry.
Just get Logitech's wireless PS2 controller instead,it's face buttons are pressure sensitive but it does'nt look as cool as this controller.

Ugly wires are a thing of the past. Wireless video game controllers are the new hotness. Those of you who haven't upgraded from PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 can feel at least a little more next-generation with Nyko's newest controller, the Zero Wireless PS2 Controller.

An immediately-recognizable feature is the aluminum face panel that makes the controller cool to the touch, at least initially. In hand, the controller feels a lot more like the Microsoft Xbox 360 pad than a PlayStation 2 one. The grips extend further down the hand rather than resting in the palm, and the index fingers rest on the L1 and R1 bumpers rather than the L2 and R2 triggers. The thumbs rest just between the digital directional pad and the left analog stick and the face buttons and the right analog stick.

The analog sticks are high-quality, responsive, and have just the right amount of resistance. They're far better than the Dual Shock 2's wimpy, wobbly sticks. The directional pad is very similar to the one found on the Xbox 360 pad in a way that it is actually a single circular piece rather than different buttons, like on the Dual Shock 2. The result is a directional pad that presses much differently, and is beneficial in most experiences. Fighting gamers might notice a little trouble, since the directional pad seems to rotate just a slight bit. The backlit face buttons feel slightly clicky, which makes them slightly less ergonomic than the buttons found on the Dual Shock 2. The L1 and R1 bumpers seem to have a little too much resistance, while the L2 and R2 triggers are too easy to press. It seems that the amount of resistance for the four buttons should have been reversed. Still, this doesn't cause any problem, it just feels different.

Charged with a USB cord, the Zero Wireless PS2 controller functions for more than 20 hours before needing to be recharged. Comparatively, this is about the same length as the Microsoft Wireless Xbox 360 pad. To conserve battery life, rumble and backlight functions can be turned on or off. Without a rumble, PlayStation 2 gamers can feel even closer to SIXAXIS users, since the SIXAXIS controller doesn't support the feature.

The Nyko Zero Wireless PS2 Controller is a good deal for PS2 owners, retailing for $49.99. Its aluminum panel and backlit buttons give it a futuristic appearance, and its wireless technology puts it along next-generation controllers in functionality. If you are looking for a wireless pad, Nyko's Zero pad is the one to get.
