			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you love playing games with your Wii-mote, but prefer a joystick to a D-Pad? Well have I got something for you! The Wii Magic Stick is a cover that slides over your current Wii-mote and (sorta) turns it into joystick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27416  aligncenter" title="wii_magic_stick" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wii_magic_stick.jpg" alt="wii_magic_stick_wii_mote_joystick" width="600" height="420" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s also supposed to make gameplay more comfortable for your fingers, but you&#8217;ll have to get one to find out if that&#8217;s the case. In addition to transforming the D-Pad, the Wii Magic Stick covers the &#8220;A&#8221;, &#8220;1&#8243; and &#8220;2&#8243; buttons with slightly larger, easier to press buttons that protrude from the face of your controller. You just snap the Magic Stick onto the front of your Wii-mote and you&#8217;re all set.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27417  aligncenter" title="wii_mote_magic_stick" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wii_mote_magic_stick.jpg" alt="wii_mote_magic_stick" width="600" height="424" /></p>
<p>A pair of Wii Magic Sticks will set you back just $7 (USD) over at <a href="http://videogame.brando.com/wii-magic-stick_p00588c046d020.html">Brando</a>. Of course if you want some <em>real</em> joysticks for your Wii, I&#8217;d suggest you hold off and wait for the new <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/01/25/wii-classic-controller-pro/">Wii Classic Controller Pro</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4876 aligncenter" title="xbox_360_crystal_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xbox_360_crystal_controller.jpg" alt="XCM Xbox 360 Crystal Clear Controller" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>The new <a href="http://www.xcm.cc/xcm_new_wireless_control_pad_shell_with_new_D_pad.htm">XCM Crystal Controller Kit</a> not only redresses your 360 controller in a spiffy clear skin, but it also adds a brand new oversize D-pad that&#8217;s designed to prevent you from mistakenly pressing it in the wrong direction.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4881 aligncenter" title="xcm_360_controller_d-pad" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xcm_360_controller_d-pad.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="234" /></p>
<p>I can speak from experience when I say there&#8217;s nothing worse than accidentally selecting that plasma rifle when you meant to select the rocket launcher.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4877 aligncenter" title="xcm_crystal_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xcm_crystal_controller.jpg" alt="XCM Xbox 360 Crystal Clear Controller" width="520" height="428" /></p>
<p>Of course, the best part of the Crystal Controller is that it comes pre-wired with a gorgeous array of nine colorful LEDs which illuminate the A/B/X/Y, back, start, dashboard and shoulder buttons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4878 aligncenter" title="xcm_360_crystal_controller" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xcm_360_crystal_controller.jpg" alt="XCM Xbox 360 Crystal Clear Controller" width="520" height="390" /></p>
