Have ordered this after exstensive testing with MW2 at my mates place, it's not optimal but it beats the hell out of using the regular PS3 controller for old farts like me ... 25 years of mouse and keyboard style makes it very difficult playing FPS on consoles

Hope I get it soon

Yeah dude good idea. I was thinking about the fragfx but went for the fragnstein after some research:

Reviews seemed to stress the reliability, good build quality and the fact fragnstein is wireless while it looks like the fragfx still has wires..?

Anyway after a few weeks playing (MW2 also) I'm pretty happy with it, although it wasn't cheap, about 75 euro including postage from Sweden. Still I have the same problem with FPS on consoles so this is a great alternative to the regular controller. Shame you can't use it on Xbox as well.

I've heard the wireless tends to lag quite a bit ... besides the wire on the one I'm buying is 3 meters so no problem

Watching that video, it seems like you can only reproduce the directions of a D-Pad, up, down, up/left, down/left etc. Is it as precise as a mouse?

Varegg in case you didn't know they got a new wireless frag fx:

http://cdon.fi/pelit/dual_sfx_frag_pro_ … 29-7267149

Finray, it's hard to say if it's as precise as a proper PC mouse. It's not as good as my logitech mx518 I reckon, but a vast improvement over the regular controller, for me at least. The video is a bit misleading in that you can get full 360 degree movement as with a regular mouse, I think on the vid he just kept movements simlpe so as to show the comparison.

So better than a controller, but not as good as a PC. No reason to switch then

Yeah the response on those is not as accurate as you would get with a PC mouse. Especially on fast movements. Still a lot better than controller I guess

Exactly ... the mouse is good but not nearly the quality of a PC mouse, the other control is basically a "different" PS3 controller and works quite well for movement, the pad is aweful but switched with a Qpad you have a very nice setup for FPS on PS3

Correct ... I were 19 at one point, now I'm 39

Got it yesterday

After using it when playing with my mate for a couple of weeks there are 3 things that irritates me a little ...

1. It takes too long to turn around 180 degrees so one often loose knife-fights if the first strike misses.
2. The button used for knifing is located between the mouse buttons and just infront of the START button, often you depress the START button while trying to knife someone.
3. No keymapping

Other than that it works like a dream

1. can you change the sensitivity? At least you can do it in-game on MW2 so up it to 'insane' sensitivity or something?
2. sucks
3. aye, annoying

1. Yes, but if I increase the sensitity the rest of the movements gets screwed up ... you can adjust ingame and on the controller ...
2. It does ... I noticed the START button on the Fragnstein looked and prolly functions without being the way of the knife button.
3. Aye

yeah the fragnstein has a scroll wheel on the mouse i.e. r3 (?) used for melee - push down on it. Then the start button is quite small and a 2 cm or so behinfd the wheel so it doesn't get in the way. glad you're enjoying your fragfx though man!

I certainly am ... takes a couple of rounds each time before the "mouse & keyboard" feeling takes effect but after that it's pure joy

I'm really impressed tbh
