Jordan Lund reviews the FPS Freek, a gamepad accessory that increases the leverage of analog sticks.
Excerpt: "They sent me a pair to try out and I tested them with Mass Effect 2 (3rd person shooting elements) and Bioshock 2 (1st person shooting elements.) I couldn't tell immediately if my movement or aiming was actually faster or if it were simply an advanced placebo effect. I can say that on the normal settings on both games I advanced well into each without being killed. The control was smooth and fluid and the extra leverage did seem to result in the aiming reticule "getting there" quicker than it would ordinarily."
Here is my first impressions video for the latest update for Heroes and Generals. We touch on all aspect from gameplay, graphics, user interface, possible im...
GXC: "This month, KontrolFreek is releasing a couple of new FPS Freek accessories in line with two of the most anticipated titles of the year, Halo 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2: FPS Freek HAVOC and FPS Freek INFINITY. INFINITY is the first blue thumbstick that the company has put out and has designs inspired by Halo 4. HAVOC on the other hand is inspired by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and thus reflects the design in that area. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on these new additions to the FPS Freek line and give them a nice long workout in a variety of gaming sessions. These add-ons to your analog sticks are meant to increase your control and accuracy especially in FPS games, but did they do the job?"
Examiner's David Leavitt writes: "Kontrol Freek is releasing a new line of thumbstick extenders. Inspired by "Halo 4," the FPS Freek Infinity is "developed for the competitive Halo player who demands the ultimate in precision and control match after match.""
This is such an overpriced product. It is $10 for two caps + insane shipping charge of $4. Total is $14 for two plastic caps.
That is half the cost of a wireless 360 controller regularly on sale for $30.
Don't order it from their main website - go to Amazon (for better shipping).
They have 0 Customer support and can take months to get the product to you.
Very Very bad shipping times, I have never seen worse.
But I hear great things about the actual product..i'll know if that company ever gets them to me.
