Nyko Technologies, a leading manufacturer of innovative peripherals, has shipped the Wireless Air Flo controller for Sony Playstation 2, a cable-free unit that utilizes Nyko's patented Air Flo technology to provide gamers with a consistent flow of fresh air through the controller handgrips.

Nyko's Wireless Air Flo for Sony Playstation 2 controller features RF wireless technology for play at up to 50 feet. The new controller includes multi-channel
design for simultaneous use of up to 8 controllers and precision error correction to eliminate interference from household electronics. Gamers can enjoy up to 110 hours of wireless game play when not using the Air Flo feature or more than 50 hours of game play while using the maximum level of Air Flo. The automatic power save mode ensures that there is no battery drain when the controller is not in use.

Nyko's wireless product also offers digital and analog modes, dual analog joysticks and a new D-pad with detachable joystick. The detachable joystick and rubberized feet allow for the controller to be used on the table top in an Arcade style configuration. The joystick neatly stores away in the battery compartment to prevent loss.

The new controller carries Nyko's patented Air Flo design with new, variable speed controls. It features redesigned rubber handgrips with a new twist that enables the fan to be placed in the front of the unit for a greater flow of air onto the hands. A unique retro rotary analog fan control and matching rotary channel selector differentiates the new controller.

"Our research and development team developed a new wireless technology specifically for this product," said Susan Corben, director of marketing, Nyko Technologies. "This means that gamers won't have to worry about sweaty hands and can focus on increased mobility for competitive games such as Fight Night and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow."

Nyko's Wireless Air Flo controller for Sony Playstation 2 (MSRP $49.99) is available at all major retailers.
