From the press release:
The Logitech Cordless Precision Controller for PlayStation2 and the Logitech Cordless Attack Controller for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft both feature new low-power chipsets and an intelligent sleep mode — which will make changing batteries a rarity.
Logitech’s proprietary 2.4 GHz technology gives the controllers 30 feet of range without interference or lag, more than enough range to sit and play comfortably in almost any living room. No more untangling or tripping over cords — or relocating the couch so that a corded controller can reach it.
The new controllers’ cases are semi-translucent, making them visually appealing to gamers and offering a partial view of each controller’s embedded technology. At launch, the colors will complement their specific platforms: The Logitech Cordless Precision Controller is blue to match the colors of PlayStation 2; the Logitech Cordless Attack Controller for Xbox is green. The new controllers also feature Logitech’s critically acclaimed floating D-pad design, which makes Logitech’s D-pad more accurate and responsive than competitive controllers. Each includes Logitech’s durable, high-performance analog stick. The analog stick design has been machine-tested to perform at least one million circular revolutions, ensuring that it can handle the rigors of gaming over a long period of time.
For gamers who want to experience vibration feedback while they play, Logitech recommends its premium cordless controllers for consoles: the Logitech Cordless Action Controller for PlayStation 2 and the Logitech Cordless Precision Controller for Xbox.
