For those of you that have a console and just miss the mouse and keyboard too much, seems like there's a fix for you.

Even lets you use your headsets as well.

That's pretty cool I also like that guys comment on the bottom of the page.

 

Mouse and keyboard on FPS is like opening a can with a can opener and you being called a cheater.

I guess there are those who prefer to use a brick to open that can.

i want this

So now the consoles are just low end locked up PC's, also even with the delay this is still cheating. You can own anyone on a controller with KB/M.

This looks coo--

oh wait, my PC has native keyboard and mouse support without having to buy extra accessories, and there's no need to download profiles either.

[BallisticPeanut]

Cool...still not going to buy a PS4 or Xbone.

These kind of things were already on the PS3 a long time ago; (iirc it was called the Frankenstein?) they just faked the joystick input based on the mouse movement.  Unless you really enjoy mouse acceleration they still feel quite weird to use.

Yes, yes they do. But not all gamers play on PC exclusively. There are, as I am sure you are aware, titles that are exclusive to consoles that never ever come to a different console or even to the PC. So if I wanted to play one of these games with my mouse and keyboard, this is a nice addition.

Im using this on my signiture

I'll probably pick one of these up for when I go play at a friend's house. plus, I want to experience halo the way it should be - with a mouse and keyboard.

[dizmo]

I just hope they feel natural and not...weird.

If anyone's tried playing most games on a 60"+ TV will know what I'm talking about. The control feeling is just completely off.
Slow to start then it speeds up.

Dammit Sony and MS..stop being wannabe try-hards /this/ bad, you're embarrassing yourselves. At least when Nintendo does this kinda stuff, it's for a typing game or something..not this low-grade COD pew pew.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

 

The trying way too hard to emulate the PC environment. They should focus on being a console.

This is a 3rd party device. Aka not an official product that is licensed for the system

NEED this. Seriously I don't know how the f*** people use controllers to play FPS. Just... NO.

that's just my personal experience, tho.

Well it doesn't help when people are willing to pay to have the game on a console when it could be made for PC.

Uhm no. You just have your settings setup wrong. Screen size won't change how your mouse is. Higher resolutions will make your mouse feel less sensitive but you can just increase the mouse dpi to fix it to the sensitivity you want. It sounds to me like you had mouse acceleration turned on. I suggest that you never use mouse acceleration. Mouse acceleration will make it easier to slowly aim but your brain will have to calculate the fact that the faster/slower you move your mouse changes the amount of space your cursor travels. Turning off mouse acceleration will make it so you only need to calculate mouse movement to cursor movement and you will be able to make precise quick movements.

It's not a mouse, it's the Xbox 360 controller. AFAIK there isn't a way to change it. Tried adjusting the sensitivity, etc and nothing helps. Some games are ok, like GTA5. Some games, like Halo 4, are completely unplayable.

I can manage half-assed with some games. I do decently in the Halo games and anything that doesn't really rely on percision aiming. Game like Battlefield on a console? Yeah, fuck that. Suprising I did pretty good using a WiiU Pad in BLOPS2, at least the couple levels of single player I played before I returned it to the video store.

Anything that makes a console more like a PC makes it better.

[Giddyguy]

Im pretty sure this would be considered cheating so i wouldnt recommend playing online.

And also, if im playing on console, its probably for a controller based exclusive...
