Controller Enhancers

I just ran across this site, and despite their horrible names, I find these controller add-ons a little interesting. Straight from their website:

FPSFreek was developed to improve your accuracy in first person shooter environments, helping you react and hit your targets faster. FPS Freek extends the length of your analog stick, increasing your range of motion, giving you 40% more linear distance from full stop to stop.This gives you more leverage and increased control without disturbing your natural gaming feel. FPS Freek will help you to aim and lock in on your target faster, while putting less strain on your finger.

SpeedFreek was developed to give you more control in racing games, enabling you to improve racing times when running against the clock. The unique curve of SpeedFreek enables you to hug the turns in racing games, without your fingers slipping off the controller or creating unnecessary friction on your fingers. SpeedFreek keeps your thumb on the existing control surface, with no disruption between the natural geometry that you have learned to use. SpeedFreek’s supporting side walls enable sharper movements while adding to your control and precision in racing games.

What do you think? They're $10 each. Somehow, I don't think they'll make me that much of a better gamer.

I both want them, and think they are stupid. I would buy them for $5 total.

They seem like they would only be worth it you pay non stop fps's and you want to start twitching on consul, and if their really is some visible benefit how come no pro's use them?

Pro's wouldn't use them as there's been a bit of a backlash recently about using modded controllers.

Pro's need to convince people that they win because they are more skilled than other players; something which would be hard to do if they're using a modded controller.

Mod's are only unfair if everyone can't use them, for instance all most all pro's use "moded" joysticks,like the Evil Sticks Mod Kit.These stick are up to par with MLG's controller regulations and are deemed a fair modification. All that would have to happen is, MLG or GB clearing them tournament use.

O and one more question how do I change my avatar? I can't find a user options tab or something similar anywhere on this site.

Amac, you can set your avatar for our site by making a Gravatar (http://en.gravatar.com/). I think our site is linked through them. I should add that link somewhere on the site, thanks for the heads up.
