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.

"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."

"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.”
