Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Kontrol Freek Elite- Black Xbox 360 Thumb Stick Addon for Enhanced Gaming Experience by Raysean Forth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Let us begin! on Xbox systems

Okay folks, I'll try to keep this short, sweet, and to the point. No one really wants to read a two hour review, but I have a lot to say. Before I get into that, I want to give you a link to my sensitivity ability. My Freak Free skill set is around 7 in Call of Duty Black Ops II and around 5 in every other Call of Duty. For all other gamers not playing the series I would say it's around 30-50% higher than most standard players sensitivity settings for most FPS games. I bought the product for 3 reasons-1.) CONTROLLER SETUP-2.) IMPROVING ACCURACY-3.) CHECK MORE PRODUCTS ON CONTROL LINE FREEK Okay :- I started with the CQC freaks. They're a little shorter. The elite freaks are higher, that's good for me, it was a step up. Love this extra length - installation couldn't be simpler. Pops up, pops up, not too difficult to put on and take off, but not so easy that it falls off mid-game. Really great fit. It actually helps more than you think. Extension gives you the ability to take big steps for small adjustments. This helps for several reasons: the smaller you make your adjustments, the more accurate they are, or if you make a large adjustment, you're less likely to overshoot your target. Believe it or not, it also helps your reaction time by adjusting the speed at which your analog stick moves from the left side of the controller to the right side and vice versa. Those quarter seconds make a big difference in games. Super comfortable. I was surprised, my thumb doesn't feel tired, I don't feel tight, and what shocked me the most was the grip. Grip is a big deal for me as the CQC freaks haven't held up very well, but no matter how long I play or how sweaty my hands get, the grip is solid and continues to do its job acceptably well. - Cheap. Games can be relatively expensive these days. However, Kontrol Freeks cost less than $20 (US currency). I think for the money they are worth every penny. I certainly don't feel cheated or like I got less than what I paid for. I even spent the extra money to get free radio on the air the next day. However, I can say this. If you're one of those people who get frustrated easily and tend to give up, this probably isn't for you. In fact, you'll probably end up taking them off, throwing them on a dresser and forgetting about them. Kontrol Freeks products usually take a while to get used to and that goes for them too. Above all, they need time to get used to it. The extension urges you to increase sensitivity. With higher sensitivity, more movement and a slightly different reaction, you simply learn to aim again. You will shoot, you will go crazy aiming up and down and all over the screen. In fact, you will be like a deer trying to get up for the first time. It takes a few days to get used to aiming and you have to relearn how to aim. However, if you use the product to its full potential and master the sensitivity time and time again, you will win the next shootout you get into (assuming you both have the same sensitivity, skill and accuracy). Shootout 9/10 times. I hope this review was helpful to you. Overall I really liked the product. Sorry for the long review, but there's so much more to these extensions than just plastic and rubber. During my gaming career I have had good experiences with the guys at Kontrol Freeks and in my personal opinion they are a great gaming company to buy from.
