Guitar Hero: World Tour has suffered some problems its short life, namely drum kits marred by sensitivity issues. Hearing the cries from those who can’t rock out proper on their plastic pads, developer Neversoft has developed a tool that would allow people to adjust the sensitivity from the comfort of their own home.

The company has created a computer program that would allow individuals to connect the unit to their computers and manually adjust the sensitivity of the set. All you need is a USB MIDI interface, which you can request through Activision if you don’t have one already. Instructions are available through Red Octane’s Web site.

Until now, Activision has pointed people to the customer support lines to assist them in troubleshooting or sending the kits back for warranty repairs.

In adddition to solving the problem faster for gamers, this tool could save Activision lots of money in shipping and repair costs. It will be interesting to see if the company’s customer service routine changes accordingly. Got problems with the hardware? Fix it yourself.
