Moded controller?!..... Maybe just a lil...

Hey guys,
So I have recently started using Kontrol Freaks on my ps3 controller.

If you don't know what they are, they are little plastic extenders you attach to the thumb sticks and work on both Xbox and ps3 controllers. They are commonly used with YouTube commentators and pro gamers and if you believe the makers claims, they are meant to help with your aim and gameplay by allowing for more precision.

Now I have been using them for about 3wks now and although I haven't noticed much improvement in my accuracy (I mostly always just spray bullets so it's hard to gauge any improvement) the main benefit i have found is that they allow me to play at a higher sensitivity than normal.

Without them I play on 3-4 depending on how in feeling, but with them I can comfortably play on 5-6 whilst it still generally feeling like im playing on 3-4.

Confused? let me explain... how it works for me is, I only use it on the right stick. Because the extenders increase the height of thumb stick, it means I have to move the stick more to obtain the same results as if the stick was of normal height. but this is negated with the increased sensitivity, so now it still feels like 'normal' when im moving the stick in minimal range of movements, but i also have the benefit of the speed of the higher sensitivy when its required..

If you have seen any of my YouTube clips/montages you may notice I turn on people a lot and the speed at which i change direction is fast. Although I was able to turn on people before using the Kontrol freaks, it's much easier and more frequent now.

Anyways, they didn't cost too much, under $30 from memory including shipping. So if you were ever curious about them i recommend checking them out, I know I cant play without them now.

Good review Con ! i also use Kontrol freaks on my controllers and found that i went from being a bad player to just an average one ! , Got them pretty cheap on a one day type deal so keep an eye out if they pop up on the deal sites
But seriously i think they do work especially since ive got quite big hands just having that extra length on the aiming lever makes the controller feel more combfortable when playing and gives you more control over where your aiming, PS they are good as for improving your sniping skills if anyone needs to improve them !

moose might benefit as he cant snipe

I did exactly the same thing been using mine for about 3 weeks now. I am still trying to work out the new sensitivity but I think it helps me to aim my assult rifles better.

we now all expect LT to beast in game!

I wouldnt recommend these for campers like Cat then eh?

theres not much that could help Cat.... except maybe a round-the-clock medical team monitoring his madness

LT, modded controller?? nah, i was thinking of getting them for christmas.

does everyone who uses them just put them on the right stick ? i have never heard of these before will have to look for them on ebay.

It depends on preference if you have it only on the right or both. For me I only use them on the right stick as I didn't want to have to move the left sick further to move around, especially since I never stop moving when I play.

The devs have various types of kontrol freaks that supposedly help with diff things, I don't believe that part as they are all essentially just bits of plastic to increase the height of the sticks.

I only use it on the right, i think I move too slow with it on the left stick
