Although not a big name company that can rival Logitech or Razer, Fanatec is a well respected German company that has taken upon itself the task of making advance controllers mainly for the Sony PS consoles.



The product described here however is mostly intended for PC gamers that play FPS games at a professional or semi-professional level. Its name is Fanatec Headshot Controller and it is an advance mouse provided with a special gaming surface in order to allow for smooth and fast moves or precise aiming for deadly enemies that could spawn the GAME OVER screen if you don`t give the best that you have.



The device has several advantages compared to other competitors on the market. First of all not all gamers have the same sized hands, so the Headshot Controller has ergonomic size adjustments for comfortable gaming. It can provide joystick emulation which the company states that provide a clear advantage in mixed mode games, so i guess no more dying in Unreal Tournament Onslaught.



The PlasmaGlyde mouse feet combined with the aURa mouse pad result in smooth motion and friction free surface. This should make fast moves a lot easier and also extend the mouse`s life. Also, the mouse pad sports and illuminated cable arch that allows cable management so that users don`t miscalculate their movements.



Headshot Controller comes packed with 6 programmable buttons and a 5 way scroll wheel. Of course none of this means anything without a high precision laser sensor with 4.000 dpi. Precision can be switched on the fly during gameplay so no more fixed strategies because of mouse speed.



The software allows profile saving for every application which is a very comfortable feature and permits users to customize their gear only once and never be concerned with it again.
