Nyko Kama Wireless Nunchuk (Wii): Even though the Nintendo Wii makes use of wireless technology, you still need a wire to attach the nunchuk accessory to the Wii remote for selected games that require it. While many gamers agree the cord length is ample, there are a few situations where you may feel constrained. ...; Tags: Games, Nintendo Wii, Kama Wireless Nunchuk, nunchuk, Nyko, Wii Remote, wireless; Product reviews 2008-05-09
Nyko Zero Wireless Controller (PS3): When Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 Sixaxis controller wouldn't include the same force feedback feature found on the PS2, it looked like we might have to endure the PlayStation 3's entire life cycle without the satisfying rumble effects we've become so familiar with. Sony has since announced (September 2007)...; Tags: Game players, Engineering, DualShock 3, Zero Wireless, Nyko, wireless, Sony PlayStation 3; Product reviews 2008-04-08
Nyko Perfect Shot (Wii): We've seen our fair share of Wii accessories by now--most of them meaningless plastic encasings providing no real advantage over just using the Wii remote by itself. But with the Perfect Shot from Nyko, we're finally seeing a practical application for use with most Wii shooter games. The snap-on housing...; Tags: Engineering, Nintendo Wii, Perfect Shot, Nyko, Wii Remote; Product reviews 2008-04-03
Nyko Charger Grip (PSP 2000): Nyko brought out its original Charger Grip for the original PSP back in early 2006, and now the company's slightly altered its design to accommodate the Sony's slimmer, second-generation PSP, which is officially referred to as the PSP 2000.The idea behind the accessory is that it acts as both an...; Tags: Engineering, indentation, Sony PlayStation Portable, Charger Grip, Nyko, battery; Product reviews 2008-03-28
Nyko Blu-Wave Infrared Remote (PS3): The PlayStation 3 is arguably one of the most advanced home consumer entertainment products ever, but it's missing one of the most rudimentary features found on every $40 DVD player: an infrared remote sensor. That means that you can't control the PS3 with a traditional universal remote; you're instead forced...; Tags: Game players, DVD, Consumer electronics, clicker, Sony PlayStation 3, Nyko, Nyko Blu-Wave; Product reviews 2007-09-21

Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar (for Nintendo Wii): This might surprise you, but the sensor bar for the Nintendo Wii doesn't really sense anything. It actually emits light for the Wii remote's sensors to detect: The sensor bar contains two LEDs that emit invisible infrared light, which the Wiimote uses to fix its position in space, translating that...; Tags: Nintendo Co.

Nyko GameFace 360: One of the most hyped features of the Xbox 360 was its customizability. Whereas the original Xbox was a big black box with a ho-hum interface, the 360 can be fitted with new faceplates and custom themes. While the theme department is well spoken for--there's plenty to download and...; Tags: Game players, faceplate, GameFace, paper template, Nyko, software; Product reviews 2006-06-14
Nyko Intelligent Remote 360: Nyko's inexpensive Intelligent Remote 360 retails for $20--about 10 bucks less than Microsoft's Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote--and offers essentially the same button layout. As you might expect, however, there are some slight differences between the two. For starters, the Nyko is wider, and the DVD-transport buttons are above...; Tags: Game players, Nyko, Microsoft Xbox; Product reviews 2006-05-25
Nyko Charger Grip for PSP: The battery that ships with the Sony PSP gives you about five hours of battery life on average--even less than that if you're playing a Wi-Fi enabled game or watching a UMD movie. If you're looking for some extra juice, you can always buy an extra battery, which will run...; Tags: Sony PlayStation Portable, Charger Grip, battery; Product reviews 2006-04-14

Nyko Charge Base 360: Nyko recently released a dual controller charging solution for the PlayStation 3, the Charge Base 2. But unlike the internal and nonremoveable batteries of the PS3's DualShock 3 and Sixaxis controllers, Xbox 360 pads have detachable batteries. So the company's design for a similar 360 product required it to rethink...; Tags: Engineering, Game players, Nyko Charge Base 360, battery, Microsoft Xbox, Microsoft Xbox 360; Product reviews 2008-06-18
Sony DualShock 3 - black (PS3): When Sony's PlayStation 3 came out in late 2006, much was made over the fact that the new Sixaxis wireless controller that shipped with the system didn't offer any force feedback--or rumble, as the vibration feature in Sony's earlier DualShock 2 controller (for the PlayStation 2) is often called. Sure,...; Tags: Game players, DualShock 3, Sony Corp., Sony Playstation, Sixaxis, Sony PlayStation 3; Product reviews 2008-04-04
Nyko Charge Base 2 (PS3): Anybody who owns a PlayStation 3 knows that one of the irritating things about it is that you have to have your PS3 powered on in order to charge your wireless controllers.

Nyko Charge Station (for Nintendo Wii): The remote for the Nintendo Wii is an innovative controller that puts a lot of technology into a small wireless device. Unfortunately, that wireless device eats up batteries like nobody's business.

Pelican Xbox 360 Fan Stand: As gaming consoles get more powerful, the propensity for the systems to break down has increased, too. Case in point: the Xbox 360.
