IMPORTANT EDIT: With this review I also want to give people warnings, and some info on how to make the most of the kontrol freeks products. as well as write some more examples of how they have helped. If you are interested in this product and don't know which FPS FREEK to get, I reccomend skipping a little of this review and read the part where I explain the 4 different lengths of FPS freeks. I've been using it since December, it is now March 12, 2015 as of writing this, and I just got done with a long session of Black Ops 2. First off, my accuracy percent have gone up a lot on my guns. My an94 went from 19% to 21.80(A really nice upgrade as I have a lot of kills with it, so moving the accuracies up take a bit longer on my main account because of how much I've played) On my new account, completely soloing, my KD is 3.99, 2.53 w/l, and almost 500 SPM. My accuracy with all assault riffles and even SMGS are really high(nothing lower than 23% and nothing higher than 28%) THIS IS NOT TO BRAG: I just want to point out the effects of this product. Now I'm not saying this is going to make you an aim bot on PvP shooters like cod. In order to do well, you still need a good connection, map knowledge, and find the sensitivity for yourself where you are not missing shots, you want to be CONSISTENT with your aim. My warning: 1.) Do not use thumbstick with messy fingers. Always wash your hands and fingers thoroughly before use. These kontrol freeks are white and WILL collect dirt if you aren't clean. I clean my phantoms every day, you should too. take good care of this product. I also want to mention that the package comes with two freeks. I want to give HUGE props to the workers at KF for this quality product, because my second one remains unused, and will be used when my first one breaks or gets too old. It remains like new! So I'm very happy with that.
Warnings and examples aside, there are 4 different lengths of kontrol freeks. These are: Super short: ALPHAS(No added height to your sticks, for those that like the original height of thumb sticks but just want to change their thumb stick tops. Short: CQC signature(for those that don't like the feeling of the tall thumb sticks, but want that little added height. I would get these if you play on a low-medium sensitivity) Medium:PHANTOMS: (For those that like medium to higher sensitivities. These allow you to get more control over slight adjustments.) and then max length, ULTRA X and SNIPR: These are really beneficial for super high sensitivities, they allow you more control. However, super high sens are still pretty touch to control)
IMPORTANT: If you are unsure of which one to buy, I highly recommend buying VORTEX as it comes with one tall stick and one short stick-Allowing you too see which FPS freek and which sensitivity gives you the best control.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:The look of these kontrol freeks ALONE makes me want to give it 5 stars. Very clean and nice design, super comfortable, and I've definitely seen a huge change to my accuracy. These are my first FPS product, never really bought into the hype until I watched my friend play with them and I was shocked. You are able to control high sensitivities much better with these, so tracking targets at range becomes easier. I really like how snappy my aim is now, they help at all ranges whether it's short, medium, and long. I was able to completely turn on people with ease with this product, (on a low sensitivity, mind you.) I originally bought these because I felt like the sticks on the PS4 controller are too short, to the point where my thumb kept slipping off, so I found my aim was off target way more than usual.
To anyone with doubt about fps freeks= Give it time. Don't just use it for an hour, or even a month and then throw it off. You WILL see an improvement! Just keep in your mind how they work.
These have become my special little gaming secret and truly gave me success to my new found confidence to my accuracy~<3
