Splitfish FragFX Dominates in CoD4

I honestly wouldn't bother dude. I tested one out for a week and promptly returned it. The construction is shoddy, the buttons unresponsive, and frankly many console FPS games just aren't made for mouse support. You basically have to choose between being able to aim well, or being able to pull a 180 degree turn. Try drawing a circle with the mouse and you end up with a hexagon.

Your mileage may vary, but as a longtime PC/Console FPS player, I was sorely disappointed. Don't waste the $$$$.

To Smokey - Yes, on a PC game designed for a mouse, pulling a 180 is easy. Pulling a 180 on the Frag FX with its tiny pad and horrid settings equates to literally picking up and moving the mouse a good 2 or 3 times. It's just a horrid device, as CONSOLE FPSs aren't designed with a mouse in mind. What I meant by the circle bit was that the movement was jumpy/jittery, its not a 1 to 1 like on the PC.

are you serious? pulling a 180 with a mouse is a thousand times better and easier than using a rectangle, you actually make a circular motion to do a 180.. dude, you go just go left.. draw a circle.. thats funny.

I'm thinking that it's one of those split decision opinions. Half of them love it, and half of them dont. I kind of want to check it out myself, but I dont want to spend the high dollar amount for it.

Its not supposed to be perfect at emulating a mouse. But from what I've heard the FragFX is the closest to emulating a mouse out of the other devices that are out there(also from the videos I've seen on youtube it seems to do a lot better job than the XFPS pro).

All the problems like slow turning,weapon selecting in Warhawk and the buttons not being sensitive enough have apparently been fixed by the patch they've released. That you update your device with.

cry me a river.

If youre that serious about the game, go 'upgrade' to the fragfx.

Im with Onslaught ... I bought it, tried it with Resistance and FEAR and promptly returned it. For as bad as the PS3 controller is for FPS's ... the FragFX is worse.

The thing is its still technically a PS3 controller so blocking it out would probably result in the sixaxis being blocked out too.

No a controller is inferior and that's what makes it harder.

I can give you a number of reasons why people would want to use a keyboard/mouse on a console.

Consoles are cheaper than high end gaming PC's and if more console games supported them you would have alot of PC gamers opting for the console instead of the PC which in turn would attract alot of new gamers to the console.

It would create a much more competitive online community also as you would have alot of skilled players using it

I hate the old argument when people say controllers are for consoles, k+m is for PC. The fact is there are some FPS games that you just can't play on a PC or if you can you need an expensive one to experience the same level of detail that a cheaper console provides.

I bet you if more Game Developers included the option of K+M / Controller in FPS games on a console you would have thousands of PC gamers onboard and with that more players taking part online. You would also find alot of people would choose k+m over a controller any day on a console. So something like this makes the game that more playable and enjoyable to them.

Personally I don't mind. If a game is controller only then I'll accept that and play it with but if I have the choice of k+m over controller I most certainly will be choosing K+M and will be doing so in UT3 when it's released.
