Got a set of 2 of these controllers as a gift and I immediately had problems with the recievers. The controller would work great for about 2 minutes then the signal would be lost. I tried to get help through Pelican's on-line customer service and although they agreed that I had a faulty reciever (actually ended up being two faulty recievers) and offered to send me a new one I never recieved one. I've tried several times to resubmit my complaint but I've never recieved another response from them. I would not recommend this product nor any other Pelican product. There must be something better out there.

Works great, no noticable delay, love the low battery warning light.

Having a 1 1/2 year old, I got tired of trying to play Xbox with my friend in the living room and having controller wires stretched out all over the room. She'd constantly get tangled up in the wires, or grab a controller to try to play with dad then turn a couple circles getting the wires wrapped around her. Now I don't have to worry. There are absolutely no wires comming out of the controller. The only wire at all is about 6" connecting the receiver to the xbox.

After reading the good review of this here and gamespot I decided to get a pair of these controllers. I liked the fact that they had the low battery warning light. That way you know before you start a game if the batteries need changing. I don't have a big living room, so I've not come close to testing out the 50 foot range. But I haven't experienced any problems while playing Halo 2.

I hooked up both controllers out of the box and read the instructions. I forgot which controller went to which receiver but it didn't matter. Pushed the change channel button on each receiver and then hit any 1 button on each controller after waiting 3 seconds after pushing the change channel button just like the manual said. That was all it took, perfect communication since, even after many times of turning the power on the controller on and off.

It was just hard to find any of these for sale on the internet. Had to go to an auction site.

Now I wish I hadn't already spent the money to buy the wired controllers I already had. For around $30 these wireless models aren't much more than the wired controllers. Well worth the little bit extra.

Best Deals for PELICAN ACCESSORIES Eclipse 2 Wireless Controller For Xbox

There are other wireless controllers out there that are better, but they all cost more than $50. For $30 you cant get anything better. Everyone that has a gamecube has the wavebird, the best wireless controller out there, and for the Xbox this is the closet to the wavebird. It's light and close to the size of the regular controllers from the xbox. Unlike most wireless controllers you have the rumble feature with this controller. Turning the rumble on will drain your batteries a lot faster but it only takes 2 AA so it's not too bad. With all the wireless controllers you always have to make sure you don't keep it on all day, well with this one it will turn off by itself if you don't use it for 15 min. it also has a cool button layout, all of the button layouts are the same as the regular controllers but this one has the white and black buttons also on the top of the controller similar to the L1 and R1 buttons on the playstation controllers. Overall this is the best controller you can get for $30, I would buy this controller over the regular xbox controllers. The only bad this is that you cant play xbox live with this controller, so if you are looking to play online and this is the only controller you have don't buy this, but if you are just looking for an extra controller this is better than the regular ones.

Honest reviews on PELICAN ACCESSORIES Eclipse 2 Wireless Controller For Xbox

I bought 4 of these controllers thinking they would be as reliable as the original pelican controllers. 1 Worked right out of the box, 1 had to be manually set, and the other 2 didn't work at all in automatic or manual mode. I recommend sticking with the original Pelican 1 controllers or going with a different brand. Otherwise you have a 50% chance of getting a bad controller.
