I did a search through the board and read that Sony never made a wireless DS2 controller for the PS2.

I did the search trying to find out where I could find a black wireless controller (1st party). When I read that it never existed, I was caught off guard because I swear that I have an official SONY wireless DS2 in silver at home. It was an open box item (no packaging) that I bought from Circuit City during their liquidation. I only bought it because it matched my silver Slim PS2. I believe it's 1st party because there are no 3rd party brands or logos anywhere on the controller or adapter. It looks almost exactly like the wired DS2, just a bit bigger. I'll try to take a picture or it next to the wired one when I get home from work today.

Can anyone confirm if they've ever existed? If they do, does anyone here own one?

Edit: Found this on Google images.

This is it:

I've never even heard of one of those, the only first party wireless controller I have seen in that gen was for GC.

It's an officially licensed pad, made by a company called Katana. The packaging even looks a lot like the plain ol' DS2, though. link

What the... how come I've never heard of this? I was planning on coming in here and talking about Logitech and others being one of those third party controller makers.

But this one is MUCH better than the ones I've seen. This one actually looks like the ps2 controller, unlike the Logitech one. Does it also feel like the controller as well? Are there any issues when you try to play a game with it?

If it's a pretty solid controller than do you know where one can get it? It doesn't seem to be on Amazon, and I really would like a wireless controller. It is the very thing stopping the ps2 from becoming the greatest console of all time (and in this way I'll stop complaining about Sony's disagreeable decision for no backwards compatible ps3).

spazzx625 posted a link to Amazon who has some in stock. I did a little search through there and was able to find the same model in black as well.

It feels very nice like the wired DS2 (but I'm no serious critic). I picked up during the Circuit City liquidations not too long ago, so the only games that I've been able to play using it were GoW I & II as well as the KH games.
