Kontrol Freek, FPS Freek & Speed Freek Review

What is the Speed Freek?
The Speed Freek product is a simple controller modification that can be attached or removed quite easily. Its aim is to make steering in Racing games a lot more accurate. By using a simple physics property of leverage it allows you to move the left thumbstick (most commonly your steering) in much smaller more precise movements so you can get those corners down pat and shave seconds of your best times.

What is the FPS Freek?
The FPS Freek is again another simple controller modification that can be attached or removed without too much effort. Its main goal is to increase your aim in First Person Shooter games, or any games that require small, precise movements of the thumbsticks. Again this product uses leverage by raising the thumbstick up, so you can make smaller movements much more easily, and hopefully get better accuracy in your games, and maybe some more headshots.

How does it Stand up?
I’ve had more than a solid month with both products and let me say I can definitely notice an improvement in my racing, and FPS games. I’ve tested countless FPS games included Fallout 3, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2. With all the FPS games I’ve played I can say this truly does help, and although it does take some time to get used to, after that learning curve I think you will hit almost an improvement curve. It’s difficult to get used to at first because the control stick is raised up quite a bit and after years of playing xbox your hand isn’t used to that height improvement. After you get used to it though your games will most likely improve (mine did and have.) Kontrol Freek recommends you give it a chance for at least an hour to help get you used to it. However it probably only took me about twenty minutes to adjust.
