Why FPS Freek CQC?
By Trevor Roppolo
11/16/2011 12:23:00 PM  

CQC and FPS Freek

As many of you FreekNation loyalists already know, last night we officially released the FPS Freek CQC. We are very excited to get this great attachment on your controller, but first, I wanted to take a few minutes to explain some of the benefits and reasoning behind the new CQC.

Since the very beginning, customer feedback has been our number one source of determining the products that we bring to market. Without you, we’d probably still be working on developing time travel mouse pads or adamantium implants for domestic pets—so, we thank you for all of your input and direction over the years. FPS Freek CQC was developed just for you!

Some people have small hands—not freakishly small or anything—just small. Female gamers and 13 year-old boys, for example, have smaller hands than NBA players do, generally. So it makes sense that there should be an FPS Freek that’s more accessible for people with different hand-spans.

FPS Freek CQC isn’t only for those with smaller hands, though. Testing has shown that our current FPS Freeks have a slight adjustment period that varies from person to person. That period is almost nonexistent with the lower rise of the CQC, making it a great “in-between” FPS Freek. Moving to the FPS Freek from the CQC is again less dramatic, causing adjustment periods to go away almost completely.

Using the CQC alone also brings your thumbs back closer to the controller’s face buttons without sacrificing precision control. This creates a more natural feel while also adding an insane level of grip and comfort over stock Xbox 360 or PS3 thumbsticks. Trust me when I tell you that you will leave the CQC attached to your thumbsticks all the time, no matter what game you’re playing. They are that good!

Another great reason to try a set of FPS Freek CQC is that they are fantastic when mixed and matched with other FPS Freek products. Use a single CQC on your left or right thumbstick in-step with your favorite FPS Freek on the opposite stick and discover a custom combination of deadly accuracy that’s just right for you. Try out some different combinations and be sure to tell us about your favorite on our Facebook wall.

Honestly, no matter how you play, CQC is another FPS Freek you’ll be glad to have in your arsenal.

KontrolFreek Awarded Patent for Innovative Control Stick Adaptor
By Sharina
10/11/2011 8:43:00 AM  
                  Performance Gaming Gear Maker Continues To Hit Growth and Success Milestones
                                         

Atlanta, GA – October 11, 2011 - KontrolFreek, the leader in creating performance gaming gear for the active gamer lifestyle, today announced it has been awarded a new patent, US Patent # 7993203, by the US Patent and Trademark Office for its gaming control stick adaptors. In addition, KontrolFreek anticipates the future approval of additional patents related to its performance gaming gear.

KontrolFreek’s ergonomically designed controller add-ons were created to provide improved comfort, grip and maneuverability to gamers playing on Xbox and Playstation consoles. In 2007 KontrolFreek introduced its first product, the Speed Freek® controller add-on for racing games, followed soon after with FPS Freek®, designed to serve the needs of the large and rapidly growing First Person Shooter audience. KontrolFreek now produces and sells more than 10 controller add-ons individually designed for shooter, sports and arcade game franchises.

“This patent highlights important key differences in our products and validates the unique contributions KontrolFreek is bringing to the console gaming market,” said Ashish Mistry, President & CEO KontrolFreek. “KontrolFreek’s commitment to innovation is demonstrated through our continued efforts at improving the gaming experience for hundreds-of-thousands of enthusiast, competitive and professional gamers worldwide.”

In addition to the patent award, KontrolFreek has continued to achieve top-line business growth, surpassing 400 percent year-over-year sales growth, and expanded distribution into key retailers via partnership with Microsoft Stores. 

In addition to new products that will be announced before the end of the year, KontrolFreek’s continually expanding portfolio of gaming controller accessories currently includes:

First-Person Shooter

  • FPS Freek – KontrolFreek’s flagship controller accessory was created with the sole purpose of better precision and accuracy in first-person shooters via greater leverage, better control and less force.
  • FPS Freek EPIC - Created as a tribute to the Gears of War franchise, with a crimson emblem and concave thumb surface designed for optimum comfort and grip.
  • FPS Freek LEGENDARY - Extended controller thumbsticks let Halo players make smaller adjustments to track and hit targets faster and more accurately.
  • FPS Freek PRESTIGE - Aim is dramatically improved and thumb-fatigue alleviated while playing games like Call of Duty: Black Ops.


Sports

  • Football Freek™ – The convex, Euro-style football design is intended for maximum grip and superior ball control in football games including FIFA 12 and Pro Evolution Soccer.
  • Speed Freek - This “U” shaped attachment allows for tighter turns and faster lap times in racing games.
  • Speed Freek APEX - The racing controller has been updated with improved design features and ergonomic comfort to ensure maximum control across tracks or terrains and at high velocity. 
  • Tee Freek™ – Golf ball-like thumb grip and added analog stick height increases range of motion for straighter drives and more accurate short games.
  • TD Freek™ - The convex, laced thumbstick grip virtually eliminates thumb slippage. A must-have for fans of Madden and NCAA Football.
  • Hoops Freek™ - Basketball-textured thumb pad increases accuracy through a 40% increased range of motion.


Arcade

  • Rcade Freek™ – Retro-inspired analog stick enhancements are perfect for side-scroller, platformer, shoot 'em up or classic 2D arcade games.
