#POWER A WIRED XBOX ONE CONTROLLER PRO#

When I switched to the high setting, the forced air had a palpable, refreshing feel. The low setting is somewhat cooling on the palms, but it didn't do the trick for me. I tested the fans on both low and high settings. The button above the Start button controls fan speeds (red for low and blue for high). The vents are situated on the handles, allowing the air to be pushed to my palms and fingers by the cooling fans. The air is forced through 6 vents, 3 on each handle (two of which are illuminated with LEDs via a switch above the Back button). Power A has equipped the Air Flo with 2-speed cooling fans that, the company states, circulate up to 4.4 cubic feet of air per minute. I know all of you are nodding your heads in agreement, so I'm going to drone on. One particular feature of the Air Flo controller is encouraging to those of us in the man-cave who, through huge emotional investment in our FPS games, suffer most unfortunately from sweaty hands. Effective controls allow the player maximum flexibility in manipulating all the controls for controlling your actions in-game. In testing controllers I'm looking for ease of use, which equals effectiveness.

I fully tested the Air Flo controller and the Mini Pro EX controller. What the heck do we do when we're in the middle of a match and our controller is slippery with rank man-sweat? So, now you may see, kind reader, that when I slowly and skeptically opened the package and saw the fans, I had high hopes for solving the ugly mystery of the Gamer Man Cave. It couldn't be вЂ“ solving the biggest mystery and problem of the gamer man-cave: sweaty controller hands. It's because these controllers have fans! Now most people would immediately label these Xbox peripherals with a sticky note of 'gimmick' and move on. I must admit, the first time I saw Power A controllers I was gripped with a wave of skepticism.
