At this point, my 360, Wii, and Ps2 are all using wireless controllers. It's nitpicking I guess, but it annoys me to have my Xbox running with a wired pad. Are there any decently-priced wireless pads that perform well, at least well enough to play some of my SNES games on there (I do own the carts for the record, but most of my old RPGs batteries no longer hold up sadly). Help is appreciated!

This forum is so dead I honestly didn't even look. I'm dumb. My bad.

Yes, the Logitech was the best, but now hard to find new. I see them occasionally at Target for $39.99. Otherwise try used at Gamestop. Normally used controllers are a "No! Bad! No Touch!" with me, but the Logitechs are so durable that every one I ever bought used has worked fine. Except for the hair trigger problem, but that's fixable.

I have a pair of Pelican wireless controllers, they work pretty well and are in o.k. shape. I'd be willing to let them (one or both) go since I don't really use them anymore. PM me if interested.

I have the Logitech Cordless Precision and it's really good. I also have a Pelican Edge II and I really like it. I had to return the first two because they had problems right out of the box, but once I got a non-lemon it was great.

how did you fix the hair trigger problem?

Open it up; remove the problem trigger (pry it with a jewel screwdriver); bend the metal tang just a hair (a degree or two) away from the direction of switch actuation; reassemble.
Blammo! Now you have a nice little dead zone to work with again.
