Keyboard/Mouse Adapter for PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

Bodycount · 02-20-2009, 12:42 AM

Have you guys ever heard of XIM or XFPS adapter being use for the PS3? I've seen it on Ebay and it claims to be able to use a keyboard and mouse for any FPS game. I've read bad things in terms of refresh rate for the XFPS adapter resulting in sluggish/laggy controls. The XIM was originally tailored for the XBOX 360 but can be used for the PS3 as well. Have any of you tried any of these products?

I was going to start a thread about this, I talked about this a long time and I"m interested it again. It's 100 bucks, the videos show that it works but I want someone to tell me , a video isn't good enough.

Did you talk about it in these forums? If you did discuss it a little bit did you find out anything more about it?

Ya i did talk about it here, can't remember which thread, it was a while ago.

DIdn't find more about it though, I almost feel like taking the dive and going for it , but it's 100 $

Hard to believe theres not that much interest in it. Cmon people any input? Or anyone who's had any realtime experience with it?

It's a mouse and nunchuck designed specifically for the PS3. I hear it's okay, but there's a new one (or new firmware for it, not sure) coming out soon that should be a lot better.

^^ I heard the mouse kind of sucks. which is why i really want the XFPS rateup.

I actually tried one of those and like silversnake said the mouse isn't quite responsive on some games. Also the nunchuck part that controls movement is still kinda weird in feeling since I'm still looking for the actual keyboard/mouse combo as opposed to a hybrid setup of sorts.

bodycount, i think one of us is just going to have to bite the bullet and get one. lol
