The Intec Cyber pad 2 Xbox Controller: Function and Dexterity Versus Aesthetics

Xbox controllers come in a variety of genres; colors, and designs, Different
controllers have different abilities and features that make them unique. The
Intec Cyber pad 2 controller for Xbox is a controller that stands out above
the rest. Though simple in design and function, the technology that goes
into each of the Cyber pads is top notch according to industry standard
experts and gamers around the world. Gamers' World magazine voted this
controller as one of the top controllers in design and technology for the
Xbox system. Even professional gamers who compete in public Xbox
competitions choose this model over other models that have a more aesthetic
look and more bells and whistles.

The design of the Intec Cyber pad 2 incorporates the traditional flying W
design that fits most any gamers hand size and gaming style. The winged
portion of the controller fits comfortably against the muscle portion of the
hand to give flexibility in thumb control and dexterity in stability during
wrist movements. The rounded bottom allows the fingertips to keep the
controller solid within the palm which adds to the permanence of both the
controller and the player. This device looks like it could fly on its own
with the aerodynamic shape that is similar to a stealth bomber without a
cockpit.

Each Intec Cyber pad 2 controller comes standard with joystick and digital
directional pad. Any gamer knows that the sensitivity of the joy stick is
crucial for movement of the character in terms of direction and speed. Some
first person games allow the joy stick to determine the speed of the
character by moving the stick forward all the way for speed and backward for
slower acceleration. This is an essential attribute when playing games that
require acceleration like flight simulators and car games. The sensitivity
of this model controller is calibrated so that you get the maximum in game
play.

The digital directional pad that is located on the left playing wing of the
Intec Cyber pad 2 controller is used with different applications in
different games. In role playing games the digital directional pad can be
used to switch weapons or change the type of magic spell you are using. In
military type games, the pad can be used to aim the weapon at a specific
target and coupled with the joy stick bring in the sights for a quick, clean
kill. With the dual controls of both features fighting games are more fluid
and requires less nuance and dexterity to determine defences and offences.

There is no doubt about it, the Intec Cyber pad 2 is the ultimate in
technology without all the bells and whistles that make the other
controllers more aesthetic, but less functional.
