FPS Freek analog stick mod

Works with both 360 and PS3 controllers. I am actually happy with the 360 sticks, but I might consider this for my Dual Shock 3. I hate that controller so fucking much, and the sticks is a big part of why. Some one needs to put out a mod that lets me move the left stick.

The BodieLobus needs to come out already.

THAT's an FPS controller done right.

Or you know a keyboard/mouse combo for the console.

Oh wait ...

There is no need to start that argument. I am not putting a table in front of my TV. Let the KB/M stay with the PC. I tried it with the Dreamcast and I absolutely HATED it so no thanks. Precision control....blah, blah, blah. I will take my controller.


The PS3 controller's sticks are terrible. Convex, in a bad position, and they feel too floaty to me.

I enjoyed playing Quake III with this:

A bit more difficult, but fun none-the-less.

keyboard and mouse is so fucking old hat now. seriously, a keyboard was never meant to play games on. Its just fucking awkward. Controllers all the way.

Ah FPS control discussions... Always good for some laughs.

The FPS Freek knob thingy works pretty good for those who have complete shit aim like me. The material quality was pretty good. You could probably make something like that yourself though.

I'm surprised that no other console besides the Dreamcast has given players the option to use the ol' keyboard and mouse considering it's now 2009. Very odd that companies don't want to give players the option. i can't believe I never thought to use the Twin Sticks for Quake, Outtrigger or Unreal Tournament. I would of got pwned a lot less.

In the end, that controller with the trackball should be made immediately. That's the best idea ever. Hell put another one on the left side so I can beat down suckers in console Red Alert 3.

I used to play the grid and outrigger in the arcades, it had a trackball + half of a twinstick, and I thought it was pretty good for controls.

half of a twinstick
Heh.

Seriously, trackballs or bust for me. But then I don't game in the living room. I actually run all my consoles through my computer and play on my monitor so the whole "I can't put a keyboard on the couch" thing doesn't work for me.

Really, though, the keyboard side of the keyboard and mouse combo is definitely the weak link. It's nice if you're quick to be able to hit a lot of shortcuts for weapon switching, but it's not like it really offers precise movement.

The aiming thing is the big deal. The little thumbstick's not enough for me. A big throttle is a definite improvement, but trackballs are where it's at for my buck. Something like the BodieLobus seems like the best of both worlds.
