I've since done exactly that... MadCatz & Sony brands work great.
I tried saving a little up front & it ended up screwing me...

Eh... Live & learn. Not all controlers are equal.

Arcade82:
well these are the ones i bought for like 43 bux
i've purchased them from walmart before for $5 and had no latency problems

the ones you showed might be different though

tmasman:
Good to hear.
I hate to see people getting screwed... :o
uh...
well...
I'll leave that one alone.  :P

Not that I distrust my soldering skills at all but with heavy "josseling" (i think thats a word spelled incorrectly) meaning me taking the wired setup in and out of the box repeatedly, the wires will detach from the tiny solder spot on the PCB, any one have good tips for soldering to PCBs with little solder spots?

I hot glue the solder points them.  It seems to help a little.  I also mount the controller PCB onto the wood using pcb mounts (usually home made ones).
