The guy is posting bogus reviews of this product all over the internet. He works for the company that makes this crappy product. They are getting crushed by the FRAGNSTEIN because unlike the piece of garbage made by splitfish the FragNstein is actually a good product. I bought the Frag Fx and it’s totally a waste of money. I now use the FragNstein and it works flawlessly. Don’t get scammed by Data Dayn or splitfish

Firstly I did tons of research before this purchase. I can’t stand FPS on console. However all my friends are on PSN so I picked this up because MW2 on PC Multiplayer is sorely lacking, so if I’m gonna play something that I’m not completely happy with I might as well do so with friends.

Here’s where the FragFX comes in, I have MW2 sensitivity set to max, and the setting on the “fragchuk” to 3. Smooth as silk. I saw so many reviews about it being crap, aftr a few hours hands on I’d have to disagree. I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could because there are some minor flaws.

1. Doesn’t support Windows 7 64 bit (Website says the Pro will as of Jan 2010, I have the v.2 SE and it says nothing about 64 bit. I tried to force it under XP compatability but it wouldn’t do it’s thing. Luckily my laptop is 32 bit but I still can’t seem to get it to update, I’m guessing because the laptop is Windows 7)

2. Feels a bit cheap

3. The R3 button (where a mouse wheel would be) is kind of hard to hit, and the start button is right below that

The good stuff

1. Smooth as silk on MW2

2. The waggle options are great, I use it to bypass my issues with R3 as I have a side to side motion set (which in MW2 is default Knife). I also have the throw motion mapped to grenade.

3. As I’m unable to fully update the firmware, I’m happy to say that the research I did where people said it’s crap for MW2 were completely wrong.

Don’t bother doing research on the net as most of the bashing or super hyping of this product is done by 1 postcount trolls. As you can see I’ve had plenty of other reviews that have nothing to do with the PS3.

I play MAG, now, semi-hardcore (~200 hours). However, I bought this mouse for Uncharted 2 online, and I bought 2: the first was used and the second was new, the third was SE.

================================================

Before I begin my “Over-all play review” is: I want everyone to know that I play BETTER with this mouse than I did a normal controller. I loved it while it worked!!!!! However, these mice still scroll like a normal controller. AKA: I move the mice at X speed = pushing the joystick X amount of it’s full directional push, and that’s weird to get used to it.

================================================

****So why am I giving this controller a 1 out of 5 stars?…

The first Split Fish Mouse that I owned was bought “Used – Like New” (On Amazon.com) and it started failing (Scrolling left + down all the time all the time) on me after ~80-100 Hours of play. I attributed it to me being “con-ed” into buying it (Used… not new), but I decided it was good enough to buy a new one.

I bought a new one. Now, less than 100 hours of play time, I have found it making another set of random mistakes (Pushing start and R3 all the time, now—Which is “kill self” on MAG). A different set of arbitrary glitches!

Not only that, the second mouse “played” (Felt?) differently. It did not mouse-scroll the same as the first one.

******************EDIT 3-14*****************

So I bought a new one of these and figured I would just rotate warranties (lol). My third one died the fastest and was the SE (Special Edition?) one; I liked the SE feel more, but again, these last

So I’ve been using the PS3 FragFX controller for over 6 months now. I don’t bother posting reviews until I HAVE FULLY TESTED THESE ITEMS!

The controller at first did have a “cheap” feel to it. But I gave it’s due chance. After 3 hours of play… it was simply awesome! A great solution for ex-PC Game players! I love using a mouse and keyboard for game play and this was the (only) best solution at the time. I soon became very confident in the game play and the reaction time of the controller was top notch!

But here’s a negative. The R3 button is way too close to the start button. The R3 button in MW2 is defaulted for knife use. Many times I have mistakenly pressed the start button at the same time resulting in the start menu popping up. As we all know… every second counts in this (these) games and this was and still is annoying.

After 3 months of play, I got the dreaded “auto button pressing” issue. This seems to be the same issue that has been happening with many other users. At first is was just “auto-firing”. Then it started pressing the “start button” randomly. And so as a Computer Technician, I don’t have it in me to “send in” the controller just to get a different (new one) that will eventually duplicate the same faults in the future. So I did what I do…. I took the thing apart!

Problem solved:

Like many (soft) keyboards, cell phones, and calculators… the PS3 FragFX uses soft plastic “bushings” in between the hard plastic buttons and the controller board. Giving the user the “soft” cushion feel upon pressing the buttons. These soft plastic bushings, after hours of play, simply “pop” out of position internally. It took me about 10 mins to take the “mouse” controller apart. (yes it’s tricky) Than I tinkered with the pieces for another 10 mins. Re-aligning the soft bushing into place. Then it took me another 5-10mins to put it back together. Presto! It worked AS GOOD AS NEW immediately!

After 6 months of play, I had to take apart my PS3 FragFX 2 times. About 2-3 months apart. But I’m a pretty HIGH intense player! So I may “beat-up” my controllers more than others may do.

Splitfish will never tell you to open up your controller. By doing so you WILL void the warranty on the unit. So take this thing apart “at you own risk”. This pretty much proves that I am in no way affiliated with Splitfish. And I in no way want to “piss them off”. Because us gamers appreciate their decision to tackle such an IMPORTANT piece of artillery to my arsenal!! Now I challenge them to improve on their product! Please make the next version better, stronger, faster! Keep it up Splitfish!

(PS – I will be testing FragNstein next!! See you in 6 months!)

I did mad research before purchasing this controller. Mainly I had to decide between FragFX and FragNstein. What I got out of it is that no controller is perfect. I ended up purchasing this one to play Army of Two and other first person shooters because transition from the PC to PS3 controller is ridiculously hard. I ended up getting this one…because it’s cheaper. And this one does the job.

Pros:

–The instant you play with this controller, your skill goes way up…even without tweaks and straight out of the box. For the most part, it does deliver the “PC” experience as you would expect. This is what I wanted, and is why I gave this controller 4 stars.

–The cord is decently long.

–I really like the on-the-fly sensitivity knob that allows you to change the sensitivity whenever you want.

Cons:

–It’s corded…not a big deal but would prefer wireless.

–Because of the analog stick acceleration factor, small movements with the mouse would either not register or would “jump”. Not really a big deal if you get the sensitivity right and upgrade to latest firmware.

–The build quality is terrible…the mouse feel cheap and light. I guess I got what I paid for, because this is the cheapest of this type of controller.

–The “nunchuk” is a tad bulky and awkward to hold. I didn’t use the big “frag” button, and I don’t think I ever will. I don’t really like it.

Look, don’t get caught up with the glowing reviews for FragFX or FragNstein. Nor should you trust the extremely negative reviews trashing either. Truth is, with either controller, you’ll need to custom tweak it to your liking.

I actually ordered the FragNstein a couple days ago because the cord, while long, is a little annoying, and I’ll update this review with my findings. For those who expect this to perform “LIKE” a PC mouse, you’ll enjoy this controller. For those who expect this to perform “AS” a PC mouse, you’ll need to adjust your expectations.
