I am pretty sure most of you console owners out there would love to mod your very own controllers but are either afraid you might ruin them or you won't like the end-result. Because, let us be frank, now, mod kits are not exactly the easiest to assemble. Perhaps knowing there is an eager market interested in modding controllers, BGRMODS has rolled out the IntansaFIRE, a mod kit extremely easy to assemble.

How about we check out what Coy Christmas, President of BragGame Rights, had to say about BGRMODS' latest addition? “We saw a need in the gaming market. Console and accessory modification is a large part of the gaming world. The problem was that gamers buy mod kits for their controllers only to find out they were too complex to assemble themselves. So we partnered with an engineering team to get a product to the gamers that eliminates the technical curve, and offers more than the standard mod kit does.”

Because compatibility is also something that you want when considering your modded controller, you should know that the Xbox 360-only pack is useable in all Xbox 360 games. Games such as Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty or Gears of War will definitely benefit from the five-mode sleeper settings and also the option for advanced users to add a button to a prefabricated area located on the IntensaFIRE.

Christmas added that “4-mode sleeper mod kits exist. Dual rapid-fire mod kits exist. The IntensaFIRE mod kit has both. […] We offer a 5-mode kit that is extremely simple to install, taking no more than 3 minutes with minimal tools, for about a quarter of the cost. Other mod kits require drilling, wiring, and deconstruction of your controllers. The IntensaFIRE only needs a few existing points of glue to connect the IntensaFIRE flex board to the controller and you're ready to go! You also get blue and red LED's to identify which mode you're in, at no extra cost.”

The kit goes for 29.99 USD, is lead-free and 100 percent recyclable.
