The FPS Freek Prestige was announced today as the next in KontrolFreek’s line of analog stick adapters, and it will be released this November alongside the much-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops. Axing sore thumbs and bungled snipes with a little extra length and a lot of extra leverage, the Prestige fits both 360 and PS3 controllers as well as those that 3^rd parties like Mad Catz designed specially for Black Ops.

The new adapter offers the same quick, precise gameplay the standard FPS Freek allows for, promising 40% better leverage and increased accuracy. It’s comfortable too, with a concave design that nestles tired digits like a baby’s bassinet. What ties the Prestige specifically to Call of Duty is Black Ops’ fresh high-stakes wager matches. To reign victorious, players must quickly alternate between a multitude of weapons and use them well, a job KontrolFreek says the Prestige will make much easier. That and it’s been laser-etched with a nifty military insignia.

The phrase “thumb fatigue” might not strike fear within your heart, but I’ve gotta give props where they’re due. After a recent introduction to one of these bad boys began my own steamy love affair with shoot ‘em ups, I can say the right gear does make a hell of a difference. Whether the Prestige is that much different than the original FPS Freek or the Legendary, its Halo friendly counterpart, remains to be seen. If you’re so inclined, place a pre-order now. The Prestige is only available as a limited edition.
