Using Keyb/Mouse for FPS?

**therock003** · 11-26-2011,06:16 AM

Are FragFX and XFPS the only way to use a keyboard/mouse combination to play FPS on PS3?

P.S. I really dont want to hear statements like "if you dont like the controller go back to your PC" and other stuff like that that keep appearing on such posts. I dont play multiplayer and would only like to use this for Killzone cause i'm not having fun using the controller for this game.

I also have a similar accesory that got for PS2 and never used it, and saw a video where you can use it for PS3 if you get a PS2 controller adapter. I got a generic usb2ps2 i got for PC and i dunno whrther it could work for PS3. I guess i should have to dig up and find these components so i could test if this method works...

There was an app which could read the bluetooth hardware address of a ps3-pad and fake/change your bluetooth address of your PC to the one of the pad.
So the ps3 thinks your pc is a gamepad.
but it is not that easy to set those settings that perfekt to get a real PC-FPS-feeling, u have to test much.
sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow but if u put some effort in it its probably worth a try.

Do you remember what this app was called and if it is for windows?

The FragFX and the XFPS are terrible for using mice and keyboard on the PS3. The best adapter out is the XIM3. I got one for Uncharted and its awesome... I beat Uncharted 1 and 2 with my Logitech MX518. It isn't 100% PC like but I can do twitch head shots with the sniper rifle.

Have you tried all of the above? What makes XIM3 the best?

I think he means the game input multiplexer.
Since I cant post links yet search google for "gimx emulator ps3"
it should be the first result
It works with Linux and Windows, but there are different methods. Just read through the website
