Product Description

Nyko has just extended its range of PC controllers with the Air Flo EX for PC. Like its predecessor, the Air Flo PC, it is a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and precision. And here's the kicker - now you get powerful driver software that allows you to create multiple custom button configurations. PLUS you can use the controller to emulate keyboard and mouse functions, allowing you to use the Air Flo EX with all games, even titles that are not game pad compatible. And unique Air Flo technology keeps your hands cool and dry, so you can play as long as you want with ease.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Controller, July 4, 2006

By	Robert Avery "Self Proclaimed Music Expert" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this control for quite a while now and have had no problems with it, and it has been dropped once or twice too. The fan works as advertised and keeps your hands cool, though the only difference between low and high speed fan is that the high speed is just a little louder, with no noticeable air flow difference. The low speed is really all you need anyway.

All the buttons respond nicely. The Dpad probably isn't as precise as the dpads on many controllers for console systems though(the super nintendo controller probably had one of the best Dpads ever). The analog sticks are very good as well (though once again probably not quite as good as some console system's controllers).

The controller is laid out in a similar fasion to the PS2 controller, so users of it should feel right at home with this. Those with smaller hands might find this controller a bit big, but for the large handed individual like me, it's great!

Really good controllers for computers seem to be hard to find. This one is definitely one of the better ones. I play psyconauts with it along with many older emulated games on the computer. It works very well for pretty much anything (first person shooter games are of course best controlled with keyboard and mouse).

In conclusion, if you are looking for a controller for your PC, this is probably a good one to go with (there are certainly far worse ones). The price is nice too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This controller rocks!, June 7, 2005

By	A. Moore "Moorecool" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I bought this remote I was looking for a remote that was easy to use and fun to play with. As soon as I tried the Nyko Airflo remote whith my new game Lego Star Wars I saw an immediate change in the way I played. I was better, faster and able to complete levels faster and this was much easier than before with just my old keybord. The next game I tried was Battlefront and that was even better, it was like I had my own PS2. The controller is a "need to have" for any computer player. It has great grip and a fan that shoots into your palms. The fan is nice because it has high, medium, low, or off settings. All in all the remote is great and it lived up to my expectations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good controller, February 22, 2008

By	Mr. Nobody - See all my reviews

The Nyko Airflow Ex is an excellent controller. After having mine for about a month, I bought one for my wife. The fans aren't too loud unless on high and are a good thing to have. It has a comfortable grip and nice feel and balance to it.

I've now had it for about nine months and it has taken much abuse (constant falls) and it still works well. Except for the left stick, which is causing movement without input from me. Other than that, I recommend this as a good gaming controller. Though I am buying a new one now, my old one could still be used for games that sticks are not needed.
