Xbox 360 Gets Motion Sensitive Controller - The Tiltboard!

When Microsoft hinted at their very own motion sensitivity controller, they added that that the company was not rushing into developing it. They analyzed the demand, how much motion sensitivity was indeed needed and now, it looks like Xbox 360 gamers are finally getting their own SIXAXIS. Not from Microsoft though. Talismoon - the ones that came up with it - say it's even better than Sony's controller.

The "Tiltboard" they call it. The additional Xbox 360 controller is said to provide tilt sensation (much like Sony's SIXAXIS that lacks rumble). With the Tiltboard, Talismoon is actually releasing the second generation of its Tiltboard controller, featuring a high quality design which is guaranteed to be even more user friendly than the PS3's SIXAXIS controller.

What makes it even better is that it sports a unique u-shaped board that puts the two Tiltboard control buttons within easy reach of the gamers' fingers, with one button conveniently located on either side of the wireless controller battery pack. This gives gamers the ability to make on the fly tilt adjustments during a game without even stopping. This actually comes handy when it is necessary to switch between both stick and tilt control.

The kit comes pre-loaded with TiltTune technology (the most user-friendly firmware available for such a device). Using this, gamers have the option of adjusting the tilt sensitivity (the degree for holding the controller at the most comfortable angle, invert the Y axis and turn the tilt function on and off etc.)

So, here's the full package complete with "Best practice" install method:

- Custom Fit Design
- 2 multifunction buttons within easy reach
- Requires soldering 7 wires
- "Best practice" install method eliminates control loss as controller battery life weakens
- Persistent memory keeps your TiltTune settings even if there is no power to your controller.
- The new tiltBoard comes preloaded with tiltTune technology TM, the most user friendly firmware available, including:
1) Adjust tilt sensitivity
2) Adjust the 0 degree so that you can hold the controller at whatever angle is natural for you
3) Invert the Y axis (independently for either the stick or the tilt)
4) Turn the tilt on and off (switch between stick and tilt)

If your soldering isn't exactly professional or if steady-hands isn't your middle name, better let dad do the wiring. This is all. What do you think?
