Freeks Snowed In
By KontrolFreek
1/12/2011 2:52:00 PM  

Dear recent customers,

As you’ve probably heard, there’s been some bad weather in the Southeastern U.S. (which is where our facilities are located), and as a result, our team has been unable to ship orders this week.  We are very sorry for this delay and thought we’d let you know that we will ship out orders as soon as the weather permits.
 
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you’re having a warm and safe new year so far.
 
 
Thanks,

Your friends at KontrolFreek

Frosty the snowFreek

KontrolFreek Introduces FPS Freek Legendary To Honor Halo: Reach
By KontrolFreek
8/30/2010 11:43:00 AM  

08.30.2010 – ATLANTA – KontrolFreek™, makers of the wildly popular FPS Freek™, TD Freek™ and Speed Freek™ announced today that they are once again expanding their family of quality video game accessories by introducing the FPS Freek Legendary. This latest design was created to honor the much-anticipated release of Halo: Reach, Bungie Studio’s final entry in the classic console first-person-shooter series.  

Available in limited quantities, the FPS Freek Legendary will begin shipping on September 14 and is available immediately for pre-order here:

Order FPS Freek Legendary

Featuring a laser-etched grip surface on a new convex-shaped, platinum color thumb pad, this latest FPS Freek model also incorporates an improved three-clip attachment - giving players a boost to both style and functionality.  The FPS Freek Legendary is what snipers, laser-lovers, and players who enjoy sticking n00bs with plasma grenades need. Players that prefer to engage from a distance, and especially those that are salivating for the new DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) will find the perfect companion in the FPS Freek Legendary. The FPS Freek has proven time and time again to help gamers at all skill levels improve their shooter play.  By lengthening the controller analog sticks, the attachment allows for approximately 40% greater leverage and unmatched aiming precision in all FPS environments.

“KontrolFreek is extremely pleased to be able to offer this special edition FPS Freek to our community of FPS gamers,” said Ashish Mistry, CEO of KontrolFreek. “KontrolFreek has helped tens of thousands of players become better at the games they love and, with the addition of the stylish FPS Freek Legendary, our tradition of offering innovative and effective console gaming accessories proudly continues.”

KontrolFreek Lands Three WCG Ultimate Gamers
By KontrolFreek
10/6/2009 9:17:00 AM  
Pro-Gamers, including $100,000 Grand Prize Champ Sign On To Support Gaming Innovators


                                         Kelly Kelley                                         Jamal Nickens                                         Mark Smith

KontrolFreek today announced that it had landed professional gamers Kelly Kelley, Jamal Nickens, and current Ultimate Gamer champion Mark “applesauce” Smith, of the World Cyber Games (WCG) Ultimate gamer as spokespersons.

Kelley, Nickens and Smith are the first spokespersons in a series of announcements KontrolFreek plans to make in the coming months as they announce new innovations for the gaming community.  KontrolFreek’s products have been openly accepted by both serious and casual gamers who appreciate adding competitive advantage to comfort in their gaming products choices.

Specifically, KontrolFreek’s patent pending FPS Freek is a controller attachment that increase a gamer’s accuracy in first-person shooters (FPS) like Halo, Gears of War, and Call of Duty. Designed and tested by professional gamers, the FPS Freek attachment simply snaps over the existing Xbox and PS3 analog sticks, adding 40% more linear distance from full stop to stop - enhancing aiming precision and increasing overall game performance.

"When you’re playing to win, it’s important to be comfortable while taking advantage of products that are available on the market," said Mark “applesauce” Smith. Adding, "And competing in gaming tournaments is about winning. The FPS Freek add-on’s for my controllers gives me more precision. Simply put, I wouldn't play without it."

Designed to give gamers more leverage, the FPS Freek offers increased precision without disturbing the natural game-playing feel. "When you compete at a professional level, the difference between winning and losing can come at a high price,” said Kelly Kelley. "With the affordable KontrolFreek Sticks, I get the perfect advantage to my play style and game."

In addition to the FPS Freek, KontrolFreeks’ patent pending SpeedFreek gives gamers added control and comfort when playing racing and aviation games. The SpeedFreek's unique design allows gamers to relax their thumbs while keeping in constant contact with the controller. The SpeedFreek's supporting slide walls enable sharper movements while adding control and precision. "There's nothing worse than having your fingers slip off the controls during a competition," said Jamal Nickens. "When I use the SpeedFreek I don't have to worry about that happening."

KontrolFreek spokesperson Ashish Mistry welcomed the announcement saying, “we’re simply thrilled to have such a great crew of pro-gamers behind us.  It lends even more credibility to our company, products, and industry innovation.  We look forward to sharing more good news in the time to come.”

You are OLD
By KontrolFreek
8/28/2009 9:55:00 AM  
We received this customer email a few months back, and thought the timing was appropriate with the last blog post on the FPS Freek to show you our youngest KontrolFreek :)



Owen is 5 years old.  He doesn't have a credit card to buy online, so when his dad purchased a set of FPS Freek's for himself, young Owen thought he'd take the liberty of "borrowing" them.

Here's his dad's email to us:

KontrolFreek-
I received my pack of FPS Freeks this weekend. Thank you very much.

As promised, attached are a few pics of my son Owen using them. He absolutely insists on using my controller with the FPS Freeks, even though we have controllers without them. He'll be 5 in June. It still amazes me he can use an Xbox controller at all, when he was 3 I had to buy him a special smaller controller for the original Xbox.
 
Thanks for making a great product,

Brian

Brian:  Thanks for sending these in and wish Owen a happy belated birthday from his friends at KontrolFreek.
