Here’s an interesting bit of kit being shown off at Tokyo Game Show. This is the FragFX 2, designed by SplitFish. It’s a PS3 controller designed for FPS games which provides the benefits of a mouse. Note the nunchuk-like apparatus on the left end, the plastic mousepad (which might or might not be attached to the nunchuk; it’s unclear from the photo) and the four Playstation buttons along the thumb-side of the mouse.
Somewhat surprising to me is that there’s some criticism of the device coming out. Ian Dean of Playstation World Magazine has been quoted saying, “It defeats the point of playing on console, really. If you want to use a mouse and keyboard play COD4 on a Personal computer, the PS3 pad is perfectly set-up to play FPS.” He goes on to recommend that, “it’s a gimmick few PS3 owners really want.”
