The oddest "pro-gaming" attachment I've ever seen!

The Avenger is an external adapter for the XBOX 360 controller, designed to enhance your skills and make your opponents blow chunks! This lean mean accessory provides gamers with a more immersive gaming experience, while improving situational awareness, accuracy, agility, and reaction-time. The Avenger allows for rapid, fluid movements between individual buttons and analogue sticks, allowing gamers to access up to nine functions simultaneously. Equipped with a stabilizer stand, customizable levers, high-precision tension straps, hair-trigger capabilities, and sensitivity adjusters, this space-age monster can be fine-tuned like an instrument. The Avenger is engineered for those who want to push their gaming abilities to new heights and leave their opponents begging for mercy!



I read into this a little more and all of the reviews for it have awarded it top marks, The basic idea is that it lets you use every function on the controller without ever moving your thumbs from the analogue sticks meaning that with a little practice you can constantly move and aim while using all the other functions. It works by using "tentacles" placed strategiclly around the triggers so that you can hit all the face buttons with your index/second fingers, It's completely customisable allowing you to even change how much pressure needs to be applied to each "tentacle" to press the coresponding button.



Check out some reviews:

Gizmodo: Lightning reflexes, more kills. instantly accessible to your index fingers, like an extension of your nervous system, In a shooter like Call of Duty, that doesn't just mean you aim faster, without the micro-interruptions of button smashing: You can go prone, aim, and shoot, all at the same time. the Avenger's learning curve is surprisingly short. Afterward, you'll see no reason to ever take it off.

Engadget: The N-Control Avenger is a lot of things: it's comfortable, well designed, functional, Flicking prongs and nudging levers felt natural and organic. The pulley setup make the triggers accessible from almost any point on the rear of The controller, and can be customized to react to anything. Not only could we access game functions like reload, jump,and melee quicker, but doing it just felt better. Above all the Avenger is not to be mistaken for a crap gadget.

Gadget Review: I played Black Ops with the Avenger...I was able to shoot much faster. With a few more adjustments to fit my style,I was suddenly reloading faster, switching weapons with my left index finger, and never taking my hands off either analog stick. The Avenger works. It really does."

A mate had one of these.Was quite good,i say was because he threw the controller on the floor in a rage and broke it.

modding the controller in not to give you a "more immersive gaming experience" its about chaeating!!

I dont like cheats!!

I also dont like hairy dwarves but that's a different story!!

Looks kinda cool tbh. I bet once you get used to it, it would be a big help. Its main aim is obviously shooters but it might work really well with racing games as well - I can imagine it being a bit help on say Dirt 3 where you could make the most of the handbrake.....

I would say Marky, its not strictly a modded controller but more a controller mod - modded controllers by their nature have been reworked/soldered etc to give an unfair advantage i.e. rapid fire where as this is a device that may give you one once you are used to it

Any idea how much it costs?
