The FPS Freek is the newest Xbox 360 thumb stick extension by KontrolFreek. Below is a 3d rendered model of the FPS Freek. Where the SpeedFreek cradles your thumbs on the left and right to prevent slippage, the FPS Freek adds both length and leverage. How does this benefit you? As described on KontrolFreek's site: "More leverage = less force to move. More length = more precise character movement and more precise aiming." We're not sure if these are allowed in MLG competitions, but it sounds like something worth trying out on heated Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4 online matches. The prototype testing by KontrolFreek also noted adjusting controller sensitivity in-game may be needed for precision aiming.

Check out all the details on KontrolFreek.com. Pricing and release date has not been announced and the name of the FPS Freek is subject to change. Sign-up for pre-order and you'll get a 20% discount upon release.

UPDATE 2/11/08: We have an exclusive interview with KontrolFreek's Donnie Walker about the FPS Freek. When will it be released? How much? Will MLG allow it? Those are some of the answers you'll find in the podcast. Listen to GamingBits Podcast Reboot #2 here. Subscribe to the weekly podcast here.

^What's up this guys ass?^ Written by Guest on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 why the hell do you just come in here and be disrespectful? if you have a problem with the little punks starving in Africa go do something about it yourself.

Ignoring the idiot... Written by Guest on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 I've tried this, it's a fantastic product and it really does improve accuracy. There's also an attachment for racing games that is a little different but offers similar control.

Seems pointless to me. Written by Guest on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 Isn't this called a PS3 controller?

Life Changing Written by Guest on 2008-02-04 00:00:00 There is a pretty interesting story on KF's website about how one of their products DID help change a user's life. We ought to give this thing the benefit of the doubt until we try it. I read the same trash comments on KF's first product SpeedFreek
