KontrolFreek Unveils the Call of Duty® Vanguard Performance Thumbsticks

CHICAGO – OCTOBER 26, 2021 – KontrolFreek®, the creator of Performance Gaming Gear™, today unveiled the special-edition Call of Duty® Vanguard Performance Thumbsticks®.

Inspired by the newest chapter in the Call of Duty series, the unfailing red-on-black color scheme brings the iconic logo to life with two laser-etched Vanguard inspired high-rise Thumbsticks. Utilizing the science of ergonomics, the special edition performance gear helps improve gameplay by increasing range of motion, comfort, exceptional grip, and control while delivering maximum precision.

Adding 10.2mm of height to original stock controller sticks for increased arc distance and precision, the Call of Duty Vanguard Performance Thumbsticks reduce the amount of force required for movements, decreasing hand fatigue, and improving accuracy. The result is maximized agility, which allows gamers to optimize their in-game sensitivity to quickly defend the front, turn the tides, and change history forever in Vanguard’s re-imagination of World War II.
