SLS (SEGA) PS2 Wireless Surf Wave Controller Overview and Review

Ever wanted a wireless controller for PS2? Well, Tom has been after that very thing for a while, he finally settled on the Surf Wave controller...and it's SEGA branded!?

Originally known as the AirStyle and created by FounTech, SEGA later licensed this same controller and manufactured it through their SLS (SEGA Logistics Service) arm, which deal with the maintenance and distribution of Sega hardware within Japan. They also released a few other controllers, the Surf Wave being one of the most notable.

Join Tom as he gives an overview and review of the controller and attempts to solve the mystery of why the particular one he has acquired is lacking the SEGA branding on the pad itself...enjoy!

CHINFAI Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Grip Skin Review

I recently picked up a Nintendo Switch and for me, it was natural to also buy Nintendo's Pro controller. Having played with the Switch Joy-con controllers and its grip that makes it feel more like a standard controller, I still needed something that was more comfortable from the beginning.

This brings me to CHIN FAI Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Grip. I wanted some kind skin to help protect and keep my controller having that 'new' feel.

The product came nicely packaged, instead of a lose rubber jacket in a zip-up bag that I've come across before and the contents include 4 different designs of replacement thumb stick grips.

As you can see from the photos the skin fits perfectly onto the Switch Pro controller and doesn't get in the way of the functions of the buttons, sometimes you find skins slightly overlap  the buttons or even worse, interfere with the analogue sticks when rotating them but the CHIN FAI grip has been grafted to fit. The grip doesn't have any baggy sections of any kind and fits like a grove with no movement.

The CHINFAI Pro controller grip can be brought from Amazon for £8.99
