| Saitek Launches the Cyborg Rumble Pad Saitek has announced the launch of its Cyborg Rumble Pad. The Cyborg Rumble Pad is a high-end PC gamepad with a number of unique features that allow users to fully personalise and customise the controls to improve their gaming experience. The Cyborg gamepad features the unique new Cyborg module, which can be unclipped from the pad and turned through 180 degrees to reverse the configuration of the left stick and d-pad. This dual configuration makes the gamepad suitable for both diehard PC gamers and those who've only recently come to PC games from consoles. As well as the Cyborg module, the Cyborg Rumble pad features an FPS button which automatically sets up the pad's controls for typical commands found in most current FPS genre games, and the new Precision mode – a first in PC gamepad design. Precision Mode decreases the sensitivity of the pad's left or right sticks to make aiming weapons easier and more accurate. Cyborg Rumble Pad - Fast facts: · Cyborg Module - A unique adjustable module that can be turned through 180 degrees, reversing the left stick and d-pad to suit gamers who prefer PC- or console-style pad configurations. · FPS Button - This instantly programmes the pad with the keyboard and mouse commands often used in first person shooter games. · Precision Button – The gamer can configure any button on the gamepad to engage Precision Mode. Precision Mode allows the gamer to select a button(s) or stick(s) on the pad which, when activated, will decrease the sensitivity of the Cyborg Rumble pad's left or right sticks - useful when trying to aim a very sensitive rifle with a telescopic sight over long ranges. · X-Mode – Checking a box in the game controller settings changes the pad's mode from Classic to X Mode. In the default Classic mode, the two shoulder buttons act as buttons, and the triggers act as buttons or axes. In X mode, the two shoulder buttons continue to act as buttons but the two triggers now function only as analogue axes, allowing the trigger to control a range of movements. This mode emulates the set-up of XBox controllers. The controller setup includes: - 2 quick fire triggers; - 2 analogue triggers; - 8 way d-pad; - 6 responsive buttons; - 2 analogue joysticks. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
