I cant stand a fuckin controller so i saw that device and was wondering if its worth it. Theres no fuckin precision with a gamepad so i hope this lattest build of the XFPS worth the buy |
Dunno. I really wish they would just make mouse and keyboard support of some sort... it wouldn't even have to be an actual keyboard . . . just some sort of device with directional and staffing buttons along with configurable buttons for other things and a mouse.
I SUCK at using a controller in FPS games.
What I have read about these things is that they aren't that great, because you're still essentially using the mouse as an analog stick so you don't get the velocity... no matter how fast you move the mouse, it still goes at the same speed. That was with past systems though. Dunno about this one.

In CoD 4, 75% of my deaths should have been my kills. Its really hard to center yourself on the target or follow a moving one while fireing with a freakin controller.

I've not tried it yet .. but it's on my "to buy" list. I'm sick of using the controller for games like CoD4 and Condemned 1/2. The XFPS Sniper sounds fantastic and has gotten some truly great reviews. $90 is a bit much though.

Oh it works properly, there's no doubt about that at all. There's a hundred and one reviews about it, most of them glowing, and even a bunch of Youtube videos in action. I don't doubt the functionality, I'm just trying to come to terms with the FIFTY POUNDS price tag.

was it not also so that Microsoft fond this and did something to their wire controller so this would not work? Remember reading something about it.
Here it was:
| Quote: | The controller I bought earlier has teh following production number and serial number.
X811616-005
02060028971741
It does NOT work.
The following controller works just fine.
x809483-001
02060023255729

It honestly wouldn't surprise me, to tell the truth. MS have always been steadfast and adamant in their refusal to allow keyboards and mice to be used as gaming peripherals on the 360. Once they found out about the XFPS, I've no doubt at all they did *something* to halt the functionality.
Shame too, especially considering the power of the 360 and the enormous collection of FPS/TPS titles. The machine would greatly benefit from keyb/mouse support.

.... the only thing MS could do to stop it, was to manufacture a NEW revision of the wired controller, one that interrupts the signals being interpreted by the device.
Don't talk such fucking bullshit about "they banned games that have that technology" This has nothing to do with games; it's to do with converting left analog stick to WSAD on the keyboard and then setting different pad buttons to different keyboard buttons.
