Yea I've heard they allow you to play at a higher sens with better accuracy. I was thinking about buying them for a while, but I didn't. If you get them, you should write a review on them. I'm interested in hearing about them!

I use them, and I have heard that quite a few pros have tried them as well. Not sure what their takes on it are, but this is what I have found. I only use 1 Kontrol Freek at a time, on the right analog stick since it's the one focused on aim. The big advantage with something like this is that it allows more linear movement, meaning that you can move your thumb farther in all directions. So, assuming you keep your sensitivity the same, you will have to move your thumb farther to make the same aim adjustments on screen. This is extremely helpful if you have problems with moving your reticule to fast and quickly to aim. I also really like it because I have larger hands. It also makes it a lot more comfortable to hold a small PS3 controller. At first, you may not play as well as you previously had while you are getting used to it. It took me a good 30 minutes or so haha, but it may take others a little longer. I have a lot more consistent shot, and it is a lot more comfortable for me to play for hours. They only bad thing, that I have found, is that it is VERY difficult to go back to a normal controller (without the Kontrol Freeks) after using them.

My friend has them and he only uses one on the right thumb stick. He says it helps him a lot when he snipes and it helps steady his shot in close up DMR fights. Last time we laned he threw me one to try i hated it. I played for a good 30-40 mins with it and just didn't like the feel. It is a hit or miss they are only like what 10$? Get them try them out see if you like them or not.

My friend just ordered these. He claims they help, but he says it's "good in a different way". The feel takes a bit to get used to, obviously.

Also, this is call of duty, but after my friend got them, he switched from 7 sens down to 4 sens and said 4 sens felt faster for him with control freeks.

I use 1 on my right stick and like it. With 3 sensitivity I can do decent with a sniper. Only issue I have is my thumb has to move that slight bit more to hit my jump button (which I hope to be fixed once I get an Onza) and occasionally Ill hit the thumbstick on the way up and throw off my aim for a quick second. The difference in height is hardly noticeable but who knows, it may make a difference to someone.

I too use one of them, I had $10 left on an amazon gift card and just decided to try them and I really like them, but it made my left hand hurt so I only use the right one
