There's always been a problem with playing certain types of games on platforms that weren't meant to support them - beat ’em up games on the PC or first person shooters and real time strategy titles on consoles such as the PlayStation 3. One can get a wide variety of joy pads or joy sticks for the PC, but it's been pretty hard up until now to bring the keyboard and mouse to a console such as the PlayStation 3.

A while back, I wrote about the mLani PS3 Controller. Well, Splitfish seems to have been disappointed with the mLani controller, since it has decided to make its own FragFX PS3 mouse and Nunchuck. It turned the regular controller into a mouse and Wii-like Nunchuck. The mouse has a wide variety of buttons, since it's the right half of the controller, it has the four “square,” “circle,” “triangle” and “X” buttons and the mouse acts like the right analog stick.

A pretty interesting contraption, especially if you love playing games such as Killzone 2 but can't get that special “playing a first person shooter on the PC” feeling. By the way, this controller looks fantastic. Beautiful and slick, optimized for navigation of the PlayStation Home virtual world, with a menu mode that allows it to function as a regular mouse during menu selections, not to mention the “FragChuck” (as the Nunchuck is being called), the FragFX v.2 for the PS3 is a god amongst controllers and the mobility it gives gamers is a blessing from God!

The FragChuck features what is called “the Frag button,” which slows the mouse movement down to incremental movement for those millimeter-perfect sniper shots. Mouse precision and Wii Nunchuck for the PS3. All I need now is the console.
