SplitFish’s FragFX brings precise PC control to the PS3

Considered a multi-purpose, complicated PC for your living room, SplitFish takes the PlayStation 3’s rep right up the game machines’ alley to a spot beside your extreme gaming PC. Dubbed FragFX, this new controller peripheral will reintegrate the precision of PC control in first-person shooter style games (and third-person shooters where applicable) for your popular and expensive PS3 FPS titles.

Although not exactly the trusty keyboard and mouse combo, the FragFX (successor to EdgeFX) will sport PS3 like controls over an innovative design concept with a control pair similar to the Wiimote and Nunchuk combo for the Nintendo Wii. Prime features include:

• The right hand mouse controller has the complete set of PlayStation 3 controller buttons. The mouse is used during game play to shoot, look left, right, up and down for that same PC style game play experience on the PlayStation 3.
• The mouse is optimized for navigation within the recently announced PlayStation Home virtual world.
• A menu mode on the mouse allows it to double as a regular mouse during menu selections. A lap mouse pad and left hand grip cradle is included with the FragFX to allow for comfortable play in a living room setting.
• The left hand re-programmable grip (nicknamed the “FragChuck” by G4TV) has the full range of 6-axis motion control providing Wii-like motion sensitivity for the PlayStation 3. In games like Resistance:Fall of Man, to reload a weapon or to rifle butt an opponent, the user can swing the FragChuck.
• The FragChuck also offers a game speed dial and frag button. When the frag button is pressed it slows the mouse down to incremental movement for smooth sniper shots. The speed dial allows for instant fast or slow overall game play. These two additional features let the user get out of battles as fast as they get into them.

Once again, PlayStation 3 players will be able to bring forth the technical advantage PC gamers had in first-person games, which may only come to light in the best demonstration venues, such as competitive events like ESWC 2007 among others.
