I have two a Logitech Cordless one (I don't remember the model but it is a 6-button pad) and Playstation2 controller with a (PSX/PS2 to USB adapter).

Both work well, hovewer when I stopped using the cordless controller for a couple of seconds (during FMV, for example). I lost the first seconds because the pad has to "re-connect" with the receiver. (it could be a very annoying problem for serious gamers, not my case though ;) ). I've heard it is a common problem in wireless/cordless controllers, isn't it???
