Yes.

When you purchase a wireless gamepad, it comes with a corresponding 
receiver (male) that plugs into the PlayStation socket (female).  The 
C6C comes with a socket (female) that accepts the wireless receiver and 
connects the signal lines to the microprocessor.

You can see a photo of the C6C operating in the Goer at:

The black socket under the "Wireless Receiver" tag is connected to the 
"C6C" in the middle of the picture.  The "Wireless Gamepad" is not 
connected to anything.  A dreamGear gamepad is shown in that photo, but 
the Pelican looks basically the same.

I've personally tested the Pelican and dreamGear gamepads and they both 
had a range of 50 feet with no problems and started to lose signal at 
about 90 feet.  The receiver has to be oriented vertically for the 
longest range, but at 50 feet or less, it didn't really matter much.
