Another thing worth noting is that it takes some getting used to is the slight protrusion of the switch locks on the side of the controller. While not everyone will notice the benefit of having a slightly different quicker response time with their trigger presses, it’s there.

The first setting is very subtle whereas the second setting locks the trigger about half way. The locks allow for two different settings based on your preference. This results in a quicker shot, making a difference in quicker paced games, especially shooters. These locks allow you to essentially register a trigger press, but without the need for the trigger to be pressed all the way down. If you’ve used an Elite controller before, you’re very aware with how awesome having trigger locks are for certain games can be. While the grips are a nice touch, the most likely the reason you’d purchase the Quickshot is for its trigger locks. It’s touted as a rubber grip but it feels very similar to the grip on the new Xbox One controllers, though it is slightly more defined with its ridged pattern.

It’s has an argyle pattern (hundreds of little diamonds), allowing for your skin to grip any part it touches quite easily. The first thing you’ll notice after they are installed is the textured rubber grip on the back half of the controller. I pried off the Quickshot, reinstalled, making sure to try and get a snugger fit, and after the second time both sides were equal and flush with the controller. Obviously a small mistake on my part, as they are identical parts, but one side had a larger gap than the other where the seams meet, something that would have driven my OCD into high gear if I left it. Once the new Bionik grips were on I did a quick inspection only to find it was uneven. After they are removed you simply put the little clips of the Quickshot into one side of the controller and press it on, much like the back of a remote. Once I did the first side, the second one was much easier, as I knew how much force was necessary to pry the default grip off. Eventually it’ll easily pop off, but like I said, I was nervous doing it the first time.

You begin by holding the trigger down, gently putting the tool into the crevice and sliding down the crack of the controller. I actually didn’t know the back of the controller grips popped off (with this special tool of course), and when I was working on gently prying the first one off, all that was going through my mind were thought about me breaking it and being out a controller. Take note though, there is a warning indicating that Bionik is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation or use of any other tools than the one provided, which is obvious, but made me slightly nervous knowing that I was about to pry my controller apart. These steps are made as easy as possible, as there’s no reading involved, just a bunch of pictures to follow. The first thing you need to do after opening the Quickshot is to separate the pieces and take a look at the instructions. Ok, with all that being said, lets focus on the Quickshot. With the Lynx you’ll get the 10 foot cable, complete with a Velcro tie to keep it stored neatly.

So what’s in the box (well, bag when it comes to the Lynx)? In the Quickshot you’ll get 2 controller grips for the left and right side, an installation tool, and a user guide with instructions of how to install it properly. The Lynx charging cable is a very high quality 10 foot cable that is flat and tangle resistant. This isn’t meant to transform your standard controller into an Elite, but instead enhance it by adding a texture grip to the sides as well as a dual trigger lock system, allowing for quicker response times in faster paced games. The Quickshot is a custom grip system with a two position trigger lock adjustment system, and yes, this is for your standard Xbox One controller, not the Elite controller (though they do offer a different Elite accessory kit as well). There’s a ton of different companies out there that release accessories and controller kits for consoles, so what makes Bionik stand out amongst the competition? Let’s delve into the details and find out. We got a chance to go in depth with two of their recent Xbox One centric products, the Quickshot and Lynx. Video game Accessoriy maker Bionik is looking to become a big player in the console accessory market with some new product releases designed to improve your default controllers in numerous ways.
