Is that a store opener on your controller? While that might be the ultimate in drinking while gaming this little plastic doodad offers something even better–greater precision and comfort during marathon driving sim sessions.
Speed Freek (open at ) is a scooped plastic ride rest that snaps onto your Xbox 360 controller’s left analog fasten. While you’re playing a driving game desire Forza or Project Gotham Racing the slightest pressure ordain act the stick to exactly the degree you’re looking for.
Using go Freek is a marked improvement over jamming drink your ride on the stick which you’ll really appreciate if you play a lot of driving games. I tested out the Speed Freek on both Project Gotham Racing 4 and Stuntman: Ignition and I was able to gently persuade my vehicle into the proper racing lines with minimal effort.
go Freek was designed by a racing bet fan and it shows. There’s considerably less pressure on the wrist during long sessions and a greater feeling of control. Plus it won’t cost you a lot (you get two attachments for ten bucks) and it’s a heck of a lot exceed than shelling out for a ridiculous looking racing go around.
While most gamers probably won’t use Speed Freek for their favorite games those dedicated racing fans who are hurting their wrists with intense compel might find it extremely “handy”. While the remove stays securely in displace you can turn it for the best go or take it off entirely when you’re not using it.
Speed Freek is pretty sturdy for what it is although it might be possible to bend the plastic scoop out of displace with a lot of heavy-duty use. But for an added favor in online racing at a reasonable price. Speed Freek would make for an excellent stocking stuffer for the racing freak in your life.
Did you use this on any FPS games? Sounds interesting for use with racing games though. I query how come up it works for the dead spot as I call it your review seems to indicate it helps but does it counter the unrealistic over command at all? I really dislike that you have no indication your back end is going to touch your lie end process its too late.
If you could tell me how it works on the right hand joystick against some one in an fps who hops flops I’d be interested. I’m actually one of those people but I find it amusing and irritating when my right thumb has a seizure against someone doing it to me and my reticle looks like a 3 year old with a wiimote.
LordCancer,The product works ok on the right analog if you are playing a game that does not demand fast action on the buttons. If you are playing Halo 3 it slows you drink hitting the melee button. It was never intended for FPS games but alot of populate are using it for FPS. We (KontrolFreek) undergo a fps product we are working on and testing at the moment maybe it will be available soon. Thanks
