The hardcore
modders in attendance need not apply unless they're looking for a quick jaunt down easy street, but those terrified of solder guns, glue and screwdrivers
best listen up. A newly formed company, BGRMODS, has just introduced its very product, and it's pretty much a must-have for Xbox 360 owners. IntensaFIRE is an easy-to-install chip (we're talking five minutes, tops) that modifies the
Xbox 360 wireless controller in order to enable 5-mode sleeper settings (including a customizable user programmable mode) as well as a rapid-fire mode that should finally compensate for your lack of skill in
Call of Duty 4. Hit the read link for the specifics on installation (trust us, there ain't much to do), and get ready to upgrade your game on September 7th for $29.99.

Here's hoping COD players DON'T pick this up just for the sake of turning a G3 into an automatic weapon. Just nothing more annoying then playng against someone who's clearly using an autofire pad.
I have the A4 Tech X-750BF and it has a 3x rapid fire button on it. Great for call of duty single shot weapons. (Sorry)
I don't know how often you play COD4 but I'm seeing more and more gamers using a G3 full auto; obviously due to a modded controller.
When they fix aim-botting and other software hacking shite, I will stop using it.
I don't use the g3, I use it for my pistols. tap, tap, tap. :)
I'm still using my M16 with red dot sight, and added to the fact I'm a claymore camper and always win, I'm not even the slightest bit afraid of this piece of garbage.
C'mon people! This has more uses than COD and could be a fun and helpful tool. I seriously doubt that all these complainers never had a Game Genie or a turbo NES controller. It's just another tool for the 360. Although I agree that's it's use on COD4 could be foul I could say for those who play COD$ online that perhaps you should game with trustworthy friends or other squadmates if this kind of thing bothers you so much. Besides, those people who use it online in competition will probably be banned eventually anyway.
I'd rather play with someone who has a rapid fire controller, then someone who is aim botting, has UAV up all the time or some other software hack.
I bought the mouse and it came with the 3x button. I didn't install it. You still need some skill to play with a rapid fire controller, N0 skill with a software hack.
OneLove stop making excuses your a cheating noob. This isn't a pc mod its an xbox 360 mod. There are no "software hacks" such as aim botting for 360. Get a life.
What the fuck Engadget? This guy pay you to do this? I am 16 years old and I do this same thing to make money to pay for College, in fact I have my own website and I have asked you to feature my site, but no. I guess I didn't give you $200 and a handjob.
This guy is trash, he was on eBay saying that he has sold over 60,000 units and he is "offering" us a revolution. Here, see what he sent me: http://bgrmods.com/modders/
Go to my website and buy a kit for under $15 or a controller. Support a 16 year old kit who is trying to buy a car and save for college:

I had that A4 tech mouse, It wasn't really cheating. The 3X fire button does do a 3 shot burst, but its impossible to have the timing calibrated right for every game at the same time (and you can't change the timing at all) Also it doesn't fire very fast, it's extremely easy to just click 3 times a lot faster than the button. They made it seem like it was calibrated for counter-strike but every time I tried to use it I just got my ass kicked so I think it was really just for lazy people, or for making double clicking stuff easier (even though it was triple click, the third click usually doesn't do anything)
Other than that it is a very good mouse, there was just a really good deal on a new mouse on woot...
@Yamagushi: Why are you getting so excited over this?...seem to me you need to get a life.
Console gamer tears....delicious.
Why the hell would you guys post this trash. I just lost a LOT of respect for this site. Thanks for further helping to ruin online gaming and supporting cheaters.
Agreed. Lame
I don't really play a lot of games and I don't have a 360, but I think that's a pretty clever solution.
Yes, very lame. Cheaters suck!
Because people would have never found out about this if Engadget hadn't covered it...
Agreed. Cheats should stay underground, deep in the bowels of the internet where virus lurk behind porn links.
That was my first thought when I read this, too.
Right! 'Cause Engadget is at fault for the modding in games and the cheaters who have been on this planet for thousands of years! Great shame on you, Engadget! Great shame!
Agreed, it takes no skill to use an extreme how powered single shot weapon and turn it into a machine gun, makes online gaming suck for those that have skill.
@Chris and the rest of the people claiming people would have "found this anyway",
Its true that people have been using rapid fire well before this article, and its true that a number of people would have found out about rapid fire and likely used it. The problems here are as follows;
1)Engadget has a huge number of readers, this article just exposed the mod to a large amount of people that wouldn't have found it.
2)This isn't your average mod that the average person won't bother with, this can be utilized by anyone smart enough to use a screwdriver.
3)Most readers here expect better from Engadget than to endorse a cheating mod.
If the online game allows for cheating, the game needs to be fixed. The end.
Yes, by all means, let's censor the news. While we're at it, there are a number of disturbing books I find offensive. Anyone have a can of gasoline and a match?
These are the same people that call everyone "campers".
Dave, There are new porn movies released everyday. According to your views that should be posted on here too aye? There is a line of what's acceptable and what's not, and this crosses the line.
The amount of butthurt generated by this is astonishingly hilarious.
Engadget staff, please continue to do whatever you want and ignore these idiots.
They are the reason the mute button was invented.
One man's butthurt is another man's lulz.
yay
*buys*
This is garbage
agreed, but not for the same reason. Why buy a mod for your controller when you can get a 3rd party controller with auto-fire buttons already on it as well as a better d-pad and a 1 year warranty?
Who would use a mod and then feel good about their accomplishments?
Cheaters who suck at games.
a solider fighting for survival on the battlefield of life. :)
The people who's heads lay helplessly on the ground in COD while I tower above them aiming at their partners. This is the worst post I've ever seen on engadget. If anyone purchases this they deserve to have their sac cut off
This is interesting....
take this shit down
Why's everyone being a dick about this?
Because cheaters and those that help them suck!
Eh cause sometimes you just want to relax and play a game. And for me I play online for the challenge. When someone can circumvent that challenge it doesnt become a challenge anymore it becomes a chore and no longer becomes fun. Im pretty upset as well theyre reporting this mod since its pretty simple and sophomoric.....
The people complaining are the people who aren't really good at CoD 4. I run into these modders all the time, and I usually still one of the top 2 by the end of the match. And most are those using the mod already but mad at Engadget for blowing up their spot cause everyone will use it and the playing field will be more even. Those who are complaining should start practicing.
@ airraid - youre my hero. i wish i was you.
Is it too much to ask for a level playing field? human beings are really just a bunch of idiots who think they are smarter than they really ever will be.
Yea seriously, why would you promote a cheat mod? weird... its not even a gadget either...
This is awesome, I am so getting one of these ASAP, its about time!
all you haters can just STFU!
Cheaters are gamers who can't game.
last stand has never been so fun
wow...
