New Accessory Maker Bionik Offering VR and Controller Accessories for the Xbox One Elite
Newly launched gaming accessory manufacturer Bionik is looking to fill a void in the current gaming market by offering virtual reality peripherals and various controller modifications. Gamespot was able to get their hands on a few of the tech items the company will be offering gamers in 2017.
Xbox One Elite Controller Accessories Kit – $20
Bionik’s Xbox One Elite Accessories Kit is a grip modification designed for Xbox One Elite controllers. The box comes with four metallic rear paddles and a circular, textured directional pad attachment designed with better grip and control in mind. The Accessories Kit comes in either a matte silver or black.
Xbox One Quickshot Trigger Locks – $15
Another Xbox One modification that Bionik offers is the Quickshot trigger locks. The Quickshot’s main feature is the ability to adjust the actuation of the Xbox One controller. It enables the trigger buttons respond to a faster response with the help of an adjustable switch located on the side. This would definately come in handy for those difficult first-person shooter levels. I’m looking at you, Mass Effect 1’s Krogan Battlemaster, you jerk!
Lynx Braided Charging Cables for DualShock 4 and Xbox One Controllers – $15
Bionik also has the Lynx charging and sync cables for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers. These cables feature a thick braided material and are a whopping 10-feet in length, just in case you’re really tall or something.
Replacement Face Pads for Oculus Rift VR Headset – $20
Samsung Gear VR Headset – $13
The company also offers face pads for the Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR headsets. Since replacement face pads aren’t yet available from Oculus or Samsung themselves, it seems Bionik is ahead of the gate on this one. Plus, who wants forehead sweat all over their sweet Oculus Rift? (If you raised your hand, please put it down because you’re a liar.)
Power Kit for Samsung Gear VR – $30
Gear VR headsets have notoriously short battery life, and plugging them into the wall increases the likelihood of falling onto your face. That’s just math. The Power Kit made by Bionik claims to have solved this issue by extending the cable to 13 feet and including a breakaway as a safety measure.
