We've all heard the cries from Xbox 360 gamers for mouse support in their shooters. Let's face it, trying to aim with analog sticks in any shooter is both inaccurate and slow compared to mouse control.
Now it seems PS3 gamers might beat them to it. Peripheral maker SplitFish today unveiled the upcoming FragFX game controller for the PS3.
The device features a seperate right handed mouse and detachable left handed grip controller, ideal for experiencing traditional PC mouse and keyboard style gameplay in shooters.
The mouse is also optimized for navigation in the recently announced PlayStation Home virtual world. A menu mode on the mouse allows it to double as a regular mouse during menu selections. A lap mouse pad and left hand grip cradle is included with the FragFX to allow for comfortable play in a living room setting.
SplitFish CEO Cisco Schipperheijn remarked,
"For years, first person shooter players have had less than an optimum experience when playing on a console. SplitFish’s FragFX brings PC-like movement, precision and performance to the console FPS."
The mouse features universal game support and is expected to ship in April, 2007 for US$60, with a wireless version coming later for an extra 10 bucks.
