Were there any ever made that were good? I'm looking to get some because I think most of us now sit much further away from the screen due to bigger screens.

Cheers! :D

I'm also curious about those, because I got big TV and 3 meters between it and couch, can't laid back, because the controller wire is just 2.5 metres long. :D Could it be possible to change the cable to longer one, CAT6-cable has same wires inside, so there's already the wire existing. :)

Wireless sucks. Always replacing batteries, latency issues, etc...
Cable is the way to go :)

Get one of these (PSX extension cable):

There are some third-party PS2 wireless controllers. Not great quality and some features absent, pressure sensitive buttons work as binary on/off, some disconnects if more than a few meters away. Still, not a horrible experience as they do work and maybe worth picking one up as they run only ~$10 on ebay, etc.. You would also probably want to pick up a couple NiMH batteries to recharge as otherwise its not a very cost effective route.
