Games make it possible for people to live through many different and varied experiences. Games are available in different categories including FPS or first person shooter, adventure and sports among others. The quality of games specifically the visual effects, graphics and sound has improved dramatically through the use of specialized hardware and software.

Initially the keyboard keys were used for playing games. Then devices were introduced which improved the functionality which was available. The first kind of controller was a joystick which had one button and could be used for movement in the four directions. There is a lot more to be known though.

Advanced devices which enabled game play with both hands and that had many more buttons were then introduced. They allowed for speedy selection of options during game play. The latest in the series of devices are the modded controllers which are optimized for specific game categories or for individual games.

One of the main categories of these new devices is aimed towards gamers who play FPS. A very popular modification is the rapid fire which enables a single shot weapon to be used as rapid fire weapon. Another modification which suits FPS players is the fast reload.

For gamer interested in other categories of games including sports and racing, button relocation modifications are available. These allow a custom command layout. As a result the user error is reduced. To summarize the modded controllers suit the games' demands and the player's styles and enable a very rich gaming experience, an experience which will not be easily forgotten.
