Gioteck's Real Triggers Impress


I know it's been a while since I last updated but hey, give me a break, I just got married! Anyway, onto the topic of today's post.

I visited my local Best Buy and nearly missed picking up a gem of an add-on for my PS3 controllers. I had heard about the attachments a few months ago and wondered if they would ever see the light of the retail market. I can tell you without any hesitation, I'm glad they did.

I'm talking about Gioteck's Real Triggers for the PlayStation 3 controller. The concept is so simple, yet so needed, it really is a wonder no one has thought of this before. The Real Triggers are designed to easily snap over the L2 and R2 buttons on your PS3 controller and provide a much more stable and firm grip when holding the triggers down for a sustained amount of time. This comes in especially handy for your racing games (Motorstorm, Need for Speed) and first-person shooters (Killzone, Resistance 2).

I can't tell you how satisfied I am with this product and I can't recommend enough to anyone who is as tired as I was struggling to keep their index fingers from slipping off of the back triggers on the controller. And at only $4.99 per controller, it's a great product at a great price.
