November 23, 2004 - Nyko Technologies today announced that it has shipped its new Wireless Air Flo controller for Xbox. Much like its PS2 counterpart, the Wireless Air Flo for Xbox features Nyko's Air Flo design to cool gamers' hands without the need for wires.

Providing up to 50 hours of play on 4 AA batteries, the Wireless Air Flo uses RF technology for unblockable (meaning it'll go through walls) long-range gaming. Up to 8 controllers are usable simultaneously, so even if you and your neighbors are maxed out with four-player split-screen games in adjoined apartments, you shouldn't have any problems.

In addition to the normal Controller S-type layout for the Black and White buttons, they are also located in a shoulder layout for easier access. The receiver features dual expansion ports for things like wireless headsets or memory cards, and the controller is fully compatible with Xbox Live!

"We're excited to extend the Wireless Air Flo technology to the Xbox," said Susan Corben, director of marketing, Nyko Technologies. "You can use up to 8 controllers at the same time which is ideal for friends who want to get together for a multi-system gaming session."


The Wireless Air Flo controller for Xbox is now available at all major retailers carrying an MSRP of $49.99.
