PC experience on console
Not every console game feels right with the controller, especially in shooting games which need precise aim and fast reflexes. That’s why many gamers turn to keyboard & mouse gaming, given that a keyboard provides players enough flexibility of an in-game playing style with a wide selection of potential inputs. A mouse is also draggable and clickable, making turning faster by drags and aiming easier and more precise with clicks. Thanks to advanced Agility Translation Technology of the VX2 AimBox, gamers simply have to connect it to their consoles, allowing them to use a keyboard & mouse just like on the PC.
The VX2 AimBox is a wired adaptor with no wireless receiver or power switch meaning there is a fast and flexible connection with no latency. Easy to use with advanced VX2 agility translator technology, the VX2 AimBox provides 1:1 gaming accuracy with mouse and keyboard on the Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
The three USB 2.0 ports are reversible, allowing users to plug a USB mouse and keyboard in any direction chosen without having to worry about whether the unit is upside down or not. The VX2 AimBox also features a Type C interface to provide a power supply for a keyboard or mouse that needs an extra power boost.
PS5 Support
With many exciting PS5 online games launching recently, many gamers have now upgraded to the impressive console. With a keyboard & mouse functionality, the GameSir VX2 AimBox provides extra functionality to the latest FPS and strategy games with fast turning and easy pinpointing in games such as Returnal for an unforgettable experience sure to be envied by other online gamers.
Customize controls for each game with the GameSir App
Different players and games require different in-game settings. The GameSir App enables users to fine-tune mouse, joystick, keybinds and lighting settings, providing total custom control, no matter on the input console devices or in-game play style.
Compatible with gaming keyboards and gaming mice that do not require additional driver installation, the VX2 AimBox is the only adapter needed, no matter which console is being used.
The GameSir VX2 AimBox is available from the GameSir website for $59.99/£45 with Amazon availability expected in December.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
