http://www.ptc.com.About Logitech Cordless Controller for Xbox
The newest member of the Logitech cordless controller family uses powerful 2.4 GHz technology - developed specifically for the demands of the gaming environment. This gives gamers complete freedom of movement anywhere in a room while also eliminating the line-of-sight hassle experienced with most other cordless gamepads on the market today.
Cordless Controller for Xbox features the standard Xbox button layout, with an 8-way D-pad and analog pressure-sensitive buttons and triggers. Its unique, attractive design gives gamers a comfortable grip that can accommodate almost any hand size. What's more, it offers dual vibration feedback for enhanced gaming realism, as well as proprietary power management circuitry with more than 50 hours of hour battery life (with vibration) that is achieved with four AA batteries.
Xbox gamers are no longer restricted by a cord that limits movement, as they can roam freely around a room while experiencing lag-free gameplay from more than 20 feet away. If the controller goes out of range, or if it has not been used for more than five minutes, it goes into sleep mode, saving a significant amount of battery life. When any button is pressed, the controller powers back on and is again ready for action.
The Cordless Controller's receiver includes two module slots for memory cards, a headset or other accessories. For competitive play, up to eight cordless controllers (using two consoles) can be used in the same area with no interference and no tripping over controller cords in a crowded roomful of intense gamers.
