[PS3] Borderlands mouse & keyboard support?

[wip3outguy7]

Anyone try it out? Does it work?

[nickfil]

oh wow. I didn't know the ps3 does that in general. Cool.

I too am interested if anyone has tried it out.

From what I have seen, no. If Sony and the other ever realized how much of a demographic they could win over with Mouse/Keyboard support for all of their FPS titles they would surely get my money. I could finally play these console shooters that dont support Legacy controls - ie MAG

Not many games have it, but its upto the publisher to add the mouse and keyboard option according to the logitech website. Only UT had it before.

The closest you can get it to buy the fragFX which is mouse and one handed controller. mixed reviews on this though and it aint cheap.

I think one of the main reasons many developers don't impliment it is because they don't want to split up their userbase - not everyone wants to use kb+m on a console and no one playing on controller is going to want to end up in a game against a load of people using kb+m controlls.

Well aware of that Boootay. I actually bought a Smartjoy Frag for the original xbox when some of my friends were only playing Halo 2. I was soso on the game normally, but when you can force the bullet patterns it makes the game laughable.

If there was a Frag like option for the PS3/360 that worked, I would go that route. But the 360 one requires both the old and new one to work on new games... Its not worth $200-250 to me. The reason I have researched this fairly throughly is because developers wont spend the extra hour or so to allow legacy controls or fully mapable controls. It really feels like they just dont want my money, so I gladly dont give it to them.

Unreal Tournament 3 has a server filter to keep you out of games with M+KB players, most games should do that too

anyone tried the Fraginstein or the FragFX ?
I've read overall better response to the Fraginstein. I'm annoyed they are both designed for right handed mouse but I'm still curious.
