PS3 Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter

The Eagle eye does exactly what it says it does. So far off all the frag devices I have used, this is by far the best.I have only used it with COD Black ops on a PS3 so far, however it works great.I have been playing with a "Controller" for over 10years, I was reasonably good, but was looking for an edge. So, when I first got the Eagle Eye I thought, "yep its going to take a while to get used too", and was prepared for my kill ratio to drop dramatically. However day 1, hr 1, 1st online game, I was still managing to get a good kill ratio!! Amazing.With this product though its not just a "Plug and Play" It take some effort from you too tweak it to be right for you, however the forum is awesome, full of tips and advise and even keymapping so you can use other people's and custom the to you. The actual setup is very easy and fast. For instance I can have the device in the PS3 and playing, then decided to change a setting on the EEC, and it takes less than 1 min to pop it out of the PS3, into the PC, and then change the settings, and pop it back into the PS3 and I am playing again all tweaked!Also, IF you do not have a "Gaming Mouse" it will be VERY jerky, HINT: Standard mouse has around 800DPI, you are going to need 1600 DPI as a MIN. You can pick mice up for £9.99 in store that do this sort of DPI. You can also spend £££ on mice that have 4000+ DPI. If you have one already, you ok.The final note, its now been around 1 week, and I have been playing for about 4-5hrs total play time, and I am still adjusting it to get it perfect! So BE PREPAIRED to invest the time into it to get it the way you want it.Over all it is VERY good.I hope this helps!CheersRALSO, I noticed a reviewer said you can only configure 2 mouse buttons, this is incorrect, you can only do 3! :) Shoot, Aim, Melee! What else do you need!!!

I have been a computer gamer since 1983, BTW I'm 60 yoa, and am extremely competent with a mouse and keyboard. I had bought the PS3 about 3 years ago as a Blue Ray player as I knew I was worst than rubbish with the consoles controller. Within the last couple of weeks I saw several YouTube videos about this device and decided to give it a go.This converter is fantastic! I was extremely sceptical about how this piece of equipment would work, but it does exactly as they claim. Let's just say it brought my time in MW2 "The Pit" down from 2mins 11secs to 38secs within a day.EEC (Eagle Eye Controller) has no mouse lag (as far as I can tell) and is very easy to set up. You do need a computer of course and if your lazy key/mouse setup files can be downloaded from the net. The new version 3.0 firmware enables even more precise dead zones and sensitivities to be set up to get it just right for you.Note that not all keyboards may work with the EEC. My logitech G15 didn't so I bought a Cyborg V5. Compatible keyboards and mice are itemised at Penguin Uniteds' forum. Don't despair as a PS2 keyboard connector with a usb adapter works. I've tried it.Many people ask why go PS3 gaming when you could play the game on a computer. My reasons were that all PS3's are identical as far as hardware is concerned. So no turning down eye candy to have a reasonably fast game. It also takes hardware differences out of the equation as regards "lag".I am absolutely delighted with the EEC. 10 out of 10 for everything.I've had it for 4 days and am still putting the final touches to my settings.I also bought the Logitech G500 mouse with the EEC. A great mouse perfect when paired with the EEC.If you want to game on a PS3 with a mouse and keyboard buy the EEC. You will NOT be dissapointed.

As a long term PC gamer I was having a hard time playing console FPS games with a standard gamepad controller so I thought I would try this. Didn't really work out. Despite spending some time with the set up this really does not replicate the experience of mouse movement. The main problem is the lack of acceleration you would typically find with a mouse. Either the view moves too slowly with too much accuracy or the opposite is the case. The emulation is simply not the same as real mouse control.Also some games like the Killzone series require you to make use of the motion detection in the gamepad controller to turn wheels, which the Eagle Eye cannot emulate.In the end I gave up and really put the effort in on the gamepad controller on Killzone 2 and eventually I mastered it so I am actually comfortable playing console FPS games now. It's true I don't play online and I am more interested in the journey than the difficulty so tend to play on easy, but still I now find the gamepad easy to use with the usual 'extras' that console games include such as a wider hit box than you would see on a PC FPS game, and AI which is based on cover / shoot mechanics.So a bit of a waste of money, but glad I tried it because as this is consistently the highest rated device of this type for the PS3 I now know that it still a worse experience than the provided gamepad.

I play Black Ops 2 on the PC a lot. My KD for a good while is trending to 1.1 (I keep track myself). However playing on the PS3 with the standard controller is a nightmare for me. Even though I prestiged on the PC and could have done several times over I was getting scores of 2-30 on combat training with other noobs and bots on the PS3!!I bought this hoping it would be OK and it has exceeded my expectations. After setting it up on Saturday, I connected my Razer BlackWidow Tournament and my Razer Ouboros mouse to it. It worked great - after a good few hours of gaming this weekend I am now level 28 with a K/D of 1.1. A K/D that is just like the PC funnily enough.Note that you need a high DPI mouse for best effect (the Ouboros is 8200 but I run it at 3600). I had trouble with the Razer Nostromo though, it does not seem to work with the thumb stick (which I program for jump, sprint, crouch etc).Overall, excellent. I just bought a Sony Wireless Gaming Headset (they are nice too and work on the PC) and plan to get the expansion pack (and MW3) as I am now confident that I can play on the PS3 without frustration! Now if only the PS3 gfx matched my i7/ASUS G680gtx setup!
