Product Description

The FPS Freek Prestige was created for first-person shooter fans that desire the winning edge and want to flaunt their kill ratios to the world. A perfect complement to your arsenal, the FPS Freek Prestige easily snaps on to both first-party controllers and the new, third-party Black Ops editions. And just like our critically-acclaimed FPS Freek, you'll never want to take them off! By increasing the length of the thumb-sticks slightly, precision and aim is improved dramatically. A 40% increase in range of motion lets you make smaller adjustments and be able to hit targets much faster. This gives you the advantage of turning up controller sensitivities and getting the jump on your adversaries. The greater leverage also offers you better control and less exertion-alleviating thumb-fatigue and adding more comfort during marathon gaming sessions. In short, this increased accuracy and decreased thumb-fatigue results in higher kill counts. In ultra-competitive games like Call of Duty, you'd be crazy to play without the FPS Freek Prestige! FPS Freek Prestige is an absolute must for snipers and users of any long-to-medium range weapon. Also works great in games like: * Modern Warfare 2 * Battlefield: Bad Company 2 * Call of Duty: Black Ops * Halo: Reach * Medal of Honor * Fallout: New Vegas

I was very skeptical when I first got these, but I quickly changed my mind for the better. I got the for the positive reviews and because they are legal at MLG events. So back to the product. When I I started playing with them I did worse but like other reviews said you just have to get used to it. After an hour I started to do better with 1V1's and so I turned my sensitivity to 10 and my accuracy and my KD started to improve on COD Black Ops.

Overall Performance:
This is not a miracle accessory. It does help a good amount but don't expect it to make you a god at FPS's. If you want to improve your game and have the money to spend the get this. if you are just a casual gamer who just plays every once in a while then keep your money because this is not something you will need. I hoped this helps your decision,
Justin.

Works perfect, I feel more comfortable and more accurate playing Call of Duty with this on my controller. It doesn't decrease any timing away from your melee knifing. Your thumb may be further away from the controller but the attachment is ATTACHED to the analog sticks so when you melee someone it will be just as normal as if you'd take the attachment off. I am going to clear some things up. IT DOESNT ruin your original analog, it doesnt make your thumb cramp up, and you don't bump thumbs unless you actually are trying to. Best way to use these are to put it only on your aiming side of the controller [the right analog]. There is no reason to put one on the left side of the controller unless you have OCD and like everything symmetrical. I recommend this to all FPS gamers.

I've tried these special edition Black Ops "Prestige" FPS Freeks as well as the regular version and the Halo: Reach "Legendary Edition" FPS Freeks. I would say that if you're looking for a concave (i.e., Xbox-style) grip, then go with the regular edition (either Classic White, Vipr, or Vipr Ultra) instead; the regular FPS Freek, I've found, offers a better grip because the material the rubber is made out of feels slightly more tacky/grippy, and less slippery. These Prestige Edition FPS Freeks have a harder rubber material that's more slippery to your thumb, I've found. Another reason the grip is worse is that there is a new set raised dots set in a circular ring pattern around the edge of rubber, which I presume was originally conceived as a way to improve grip, but I instead found that these extra raised dots decreased the surface area contact/grip between your thumb and the rubber (and thus, harder to keep a grip).

In short, I would go for the "Classic White" or "Vipr" varieties of the FPS Freek, as I find that they are better designed overall and offer a better grip, as well as being a few dollars cheaper to boot. I might post a review of the regular FPS Freeks and the "Legendary Edition" FPS Freeks sometime in the future. On a side note, the Legendary FPS Freeks are a convex (i.e., PlayStation-style) version of the FPS Freek, with a rounded top that's more similar to the analog sticks on the PS3 controller, if you're more accustomed to that style of grip.
