Logitech PS3 / PS2 Wireless Guitar Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This version is a vast improvement on the first edition (red). The physical manufacturing and styling have slightly different elements that add up to a much greater guitar.

I bought 6 of the red editions and didn't get one that was acceptable. The major problem was that the neck experienced a lot of stress during play. The new version corrects this problem by using a tongue and groove design. This one is built to last.

Additionally, the coloring is slightly different for this version. Obviously, the guitar is black. The faceplate is also black. And, not immediately noticeable, the neck is a darker wood. The overall effect is a much sleeker style.

As far as play goes, the guitar is a dream to hold and use. The buttons are solid, easy to find without looking, and fast. The strum bar is actually a light activated device - rather than mechanical. The lack of mechanical parts means it will last for a long time.

The guitar works fine with Rock Band 2. It lacks the wammy style selector - but, this is no great loss. The timing matches RB guitars - so no worries there if you mix guitars.

The guitar has a star-power button that I find works better than swinging the guitar up to activate special powers. The other buttons are hidden in the design and don't get hit on accident during play.

Many have complained about the lack of Bluetooth. Not a big deal to me. The included dongle works fine. The wireless is accurate and the batteries last a long time.

My only reservation with the guitar is the weight. It gets heavy after a few sets - just like a real guitar. So, younger players may have some trouble.

Overall, it is a great addition to your playing experience. I recommend this version over the original.

Product Description:

Unleash Your Inner Rockstar. Play on Guitar or Expand to a Band.


Another Saturday night. Another chance to flex your Star Power. Your band members are all there. The house lights are low. And you can practically hear the whistles and cheers from the sold-out crowd, as fans grow impatient waiting for you to take the stage.


You've been here before. But this time is different. The bar is set higher. There's more at stake. And the butterflies in your belly are real. Suddenly, this doesn't feel like a game anymore.


Then you step into the spotlight. You nail that first riff. And you're lost in the music. Your fingering is spot-on. Your timing, flawless. When it's your turn to take center-stage, it's you and your Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller. Because you're not playing, you're unleashing your inner rockstar.

Key Features

Authentic materials
This guitar controller's body is solid. Its neck is real wood. The frets and tuning peg handles are metal. And the fingerboard is rosewood.

Realistic size and weight
No plastic toy guitar, this guitar controller is designed to look-and feel-like the real deal.







Adjustable whammy bar
Play fast and loose or keep it stiff. You can adjust the tension on the whammy bar to suit your style.







The hottest hardware
The Touch Sensitive Neck Slider is color-coded to correspond with the fret buttons, and there's an easy-to-reach Star Power button just below the strum bar, so you can rock all the latest Guitar Hero features. (Games sold separately.)

You get a 2.4 GHz wireless USB receiver for PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2. Either way, setup is a cinch, and the connection is as steady as a drum beat.

Logitech Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)That was my first thought upon unboxing Logitech's Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller.The second thing I noted, as I lifted it out, was that it is very heavy.This is no cheap plastic toy!This is a solid, well-constructed, replica guitar.And the quality shows.

Inside the box, the guitar is well protected for shipping with bubble wrap and cardboard spacers.Of note is the fact that this is a one piece unit.This completely eliminates the connectivity issues between the neck and body, as sometimes seen in guitar controllers that come boxed as two pieces.The guitar measures 33.75 inches from tip to base, with a slightly larger body than my Guitar Hero World Tour guitar, which measures only 31.25 inches in length (see the photo I posted with this review).This extra length pushes the fret buttons up a little bit, but I did not find this to be an issue.I store my guitars on a stand, but if you use a guitar bag or case, be aware that it might not fit.Rounding out the included accessories are a user manual, a quality strap, some batteries to get you up and playing fast, and an adapter for older style Xbox 360 headsets.

IMPRESSIONS
The guitar itself is modeled after Guitar Hero guitars, with the raised fret buttons and the neck slider feature.Keep this in mind if you are someone who prefers the look of the Rock Band guitars, with their in-line fret buttons.The chrome detailing, including tuning pegs and bridge, and use of real screws in the white pick guard lends an authentic look, effectively disguising the Start (bridge) and Star Power buttons (pickups) while keeping them functional.There is even an authentic looking nut between the headstock and the neck. The Star Power button sits right under the ball of your hand, so it's easy to press down on while strumming (you can also still rock Star Power with a neck tilt).The strum bar is the best I have ever seen on a guitar controller.It has exactly the right tactile feel, and is responsive yet quiet.One of my fret buttons makes a bit of a clickety-clack when I hit it, but I am hoping this goes away as it wears in.Overall, this is a quiet guitar, allowing for more enjoyment of the music.

COMPATIBILITY
I have tested this guitar with the following Xbox 360 games that I own:

* Band Hero: Yes
* Guitar Hero Van Halen: Yes
* Guitar Hero 5: Yes
* Guitar Hero World Tour: Yes
* Guitar Hero III: Yes
* Guitar Hero II: Yes
* Rock Band The Beatles: Yes
* Rock Band 2: Yes
* Rock Band: Yes

CONCLUSION
This is a quality guitar controller that I would recommend to any serious gamer who wants to add authenticity to their music games.It is a joy to play.
