MODTHEBOX would like to thank Coco from FlexiGlow for sending the Cyber Snipa 2 Gaming Pad for review.

FlexiGlow

Introduction:

PC gamers have a very special relationship with their computers. The inner components that make up the PC are carefully selected, and so too are the input devices. While gamers have a wealth of different mice, joysticks and game pads to choose from there are very few gaming keyboards that make the FPS (first person shooter) experience less awkward. While many of us who play games on their PC’s have adjusted to using the standard 104 key keyboard, there is a sense from the gaming populace that an evolutionary change is under way. FlexiGlow has one such product and today in the MTB Labs we will be evaluating the new Cyber Snipa 2 Gaming Pad.

Specifications:

The Cyber Snipa 2 is a USB gaming pad targeted specifically for FPS gamers. Its compact design reduces desk clutter, and it has a wrist rest for extended periods of gaming. Here are some features and specifications taken directly from the Cyber Snipa website:

The Cyber Snipa 2 is packaged in an attractive, retail translucent tamperproof blister casing. Secured by 5 staples, this package is functional and easy to open. The feeling is positive with the Game Pad showing clearly through the front, with a list of product features. The rear portion of the package has a multi-language product description with an A to Z list of tested FPS games.

With the 5 staples removed, the blister pack opens comfortably. Here is a brief inventory of what is included in the package:

  • Cyber Snipa 2 Game Pad
  • Instruction Manual

The Cyber Snipa 2 is quite compact for the number of buttons it gives you. It has a quality feel to it; to put this observation into perspective, it weighs as much as a low cost full sized keyboard at a fraction of the size. There is a key on the Cyber Snipa 2 to fill the needs of any possible FPS game bind and the wrist wrest is thin but comfortable.
