Nyko innovates with an anti-sweat controller, the Air Flo. PS2, Xbox, and GCN models to come.
May 16, 2002 - Nyko Technologies unveiled today the first anti-sweat controller, the Air Flo, for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.
Using Nyko's patented, dual-speed Air Flo technology, the new controllers push air through the controller grips, preventing controllers from becoming sticky and wet.
The controllers feature rubberized grips, a 10-foot cable and other regular features, including dual analog control sticks, 8-way D-pad, built-in variable vibration function, and pressure sensitive analog buttons. The Air Flo controller for Xbox highlights dual expansion slots for two memory cards.
The Air Flo controllers for PlayStation 2 and Xbox will be available in July 2002, while the GameCube version will appear in October. The Air Flo will debut at E3 next week.
[I got the chance to feel one of these things last week. While I am not ready to make a judgment yet, it worked pretty damn well. Expect to see a full review of the entire line shortly after E3.]
I'd prefer if microsfot made this type of controller....Make it an Official one
Oh yeh apparently, some company is releasing a controller called "air flo" where small jets release air around the various controls to cool our thumbs down....
