Saitek's
DVD Remote Controller for PlayStation 2 works very well - at any reasonable angle with the system. It
is based on infra-red technology, as your television remote would be. The receiving unit needs no batteries and has a 'pass-thru' port for your controller to plug into. This means that there's no need to switch between your
DVD Remote Controller and a normal (or other) controller in port one. Instead, you can plug the
DVD Remote Controller into port one and then plug whatever controller you wish
into the receiver unit. This way, you basically never have to remove the receiver unit. That makes it a pretty good thing that the receiver matches the style and appearance to the PS2 pretty well. In fact, the remote itself has the PS2 fin design that we're all so familiar with.
The final question is: what do I want in a remote control? If some of your answers include 'small', 'sleek', 'lightweight', 'clearly marked' or 'stylish' then the Saitek DVD Remote Controller for the PlayStation 2 might be perfect for you.
