KontrolFreek announced today that its
FPS Freek add-on is now available for pre-order. FPS Freek
is a little product that extends the length of the Xbox 360
controller thumbsticks to provide more precision. KontrolFreek
explains:
Now, you might ask, how is adding length
to the analog stick going to help me play games better. Well
here is the answer. Just about everyone out there understands
basic physics and ergonomics. If you make a joystick longer,
it adds leverage to that joystick, thus making it easier to
move. Also, by adding length to the joystick, you add more
travel distance to the outer tip of this joystick. How does
this help a gamer? Well, two main things this does for the
gamer. First, it makes the analogs easier to move with the
extra leverage. This should help the stress level your thumbs
feel while playing games. Second, it adds travel to the surface
of the analog your thumb is on. What, it adds travel? How
could this help and not hurt? Well, since you are not having
to exert so much force to move the analog, the extra travel
really doesn't bother you. But how does this help? Well imagine
while aiming at an opponent in a FPS game. If you add some
travel to the analog, you slow down the aiming slightly in
the game, thus allowing you to aim more precisely and more
accurate. We have found that we might have to adjust our sensitivity
a little in bit in the game, but even by doing this, you are
still giving a lot more control and precision on aiming.
