SplitFish GameWare have decided that the PS3 deserves more control, or should that be PS3 gamers need more control. With that in mind it has announced the upcoming FragFX game controller.
With a patent pending, FragFX has both a right hand mouse controller and detachable left hand grip controller … it’s just like traditional PC mouse and keyboard style shooter gameplay but for a console.
SplitFish’s FragFX provides universal game support and is expected to ship next month, with a wired version retailing for $59.99 and later a Bluetooth wireless version for $69.99 (Limited European availability).
Key FragFX controller has a complete set of PS3 controller buttons on the mouse to shoot and look around, but also has a menu mode for more traditional mouse use.
The left hand grip is re-programmable grip and it has the full range of 6-axis motion control providing Wii-like motion sensitivity for the PS3. It also has a game speed dial and frag button; the frag button slows the mouse down to incremental movement for smooth sniper shots, and the speed dial allows for instant fast or slow overall game play.
SplitFish CEO Cisco Schipperheijn commented, “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 in combination with the FragChuck is a huge advancement in pushing the limits of immersive game play”.
