PlayStation 3 gamers looking for keyboard and mouse controls on first-person shooters will soon be able to use any combination of their choice. Penguin United is getting ready to introduce PS3 gamers to the Eagle-Eye Converter. Although the PS3 supports USB devices, very few games actually support keyboard and mouse control (are there any outside of Unreal Tournament III?). With Penguin United’s Eagle-Eye Converter, you’ll be able to configure a USB mouse and keyboard for FPS games like Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, MAG and more.
Here are the Eagle-Eye Converter features, as noted by Penguin United:
- Customized Key Mapping Feature Transfers Command Data to Keyboard and Mouse.
- Same Data Transfer Rate as Original PS3 Controller for Greater Dexterity.
- Optional Turbo Mode for R1, R2, L1, L2 and the 4 Primary Action Buttons.
- Supports 2 USB Ports for Standard HID Keyboard and Mouse.
- Provides Turbo Function for Standard PS3 Controller when Not Using Keyboard/Mouse.
- Suggested retail price: $49.99
"One of the drawbacks with playing first-person shooters is the lack of speed and accuracy offered by traditional controllers," stated Richard Huang, President of Penguin United. "We found a simple solution by bypassing the controller and transferring the button features directly to the computer keyboard. The Eagle-Eye offers an amazing alternative for fans of shooting games."
Will the Eagle-Eye provide an edge over other FPS gamers using a Dualshock 3? Watch for a demo of the Eagle-Eye Converter at CES from January 7-10, at Booth #5413, North Hall.
