All told I got two AirFlo controllers for each console and some miscellaneous stuff they though I might want to review. Nyko came by again last week to drop off a bunch of product. You know, in case they were overclocking the controllers. However, this being the show floor, filled with dumb-ass videogame journalists, I withheld judgment until I got my review samples. They would really wet your hands, water beading and everything, and they would dry within fifteen or twenty seconds.
I had played with a very early version before the show, but was surprised by how well the drying mechanism worked during the demo. I was struck by the odd combination of water and electronics - keep I mind that these were pretty rough-looking prototypes - but apparently the event went off without any injuries. The E3 demo involved them soaking your hands with a spray bottle and then letting the controller dry them while you played. Nyko, who impressed the hell out of me with their Play Cube adapter, announced the AirFlo controllers back before E3. Well, a solution to excess perspiration of the mitts is here. It's better than having hairy palms, though perhaps not quite as fun. It'd be quieter, your mouse would be lighter, and if you were using this mouse, the airflow would still pass through the open shell, just at far greater speed and pressure, making it much more effective.I've been getting a lot of emails about the AirFlo controllers. You're *far* better off just pointing a desk fan at your mousepad on low. There's nowhere to put the amount of foam that would be necessary to make the vibration completely undetectable to the user.Īdditionally, even if there were, the foam would block the airflow anyway, making the entire exercise pointless. That requires space to place a spring or foam in, and takes space that inside of a mouse chassis (especially a small one) you simply don't have. Sure, if you decoupled the motors from the pad's frame, you'd feel less vibration, but the problem with that is that to *effectively* decouple it, you basically need to place the motor on the end of a spring, (Or foam, which acts as a spring in this example) so that the vibrations simply compress or stretch the spring instead of moving the chassis. You wouldn't be able to hold it perfectly still, and if you moved it around, it wouldn't follow a straight line either. Imagine holding a gamepad while the vibration function is active. Thirdly, vibration really doesn't work the way you think it does here. Secondly, the fans are typically way too small to produce the amount of airflow required to really help with the basic problem.
