The FPS Freek may sound pretty weird to you, but it seems to be a good modification for a 360 gamepad. What does it do? It extends the analog sticks of the gamepad and lets the player have better control and reduces strain on the thumbs. Currently in testing phase, a pack of 2 extenders is supposed to come out at the price of US$9.99.

“If you make a joystick longer, it adds leverage to that joystick, thus making it easier to move. Also, by adding length to the joystick, you add more travel distance to the outer tip of this joystick,” explain the creative boffins at Kontrol Freek, who have previously created the Speed Freek attachment to assist race fans.

“If you add some travel to the analog, you slow down the aiming slightly in the game, thus allowing you to aim more precisely and more accurately,” they continue, “More leverage = less force to move. More length = more precise character movement and more precise aiming. Why would any gamer not want a set of these?”
