For gamers around the world, a tale of two worlds has captivated the realm in which we the players game. You have the console and you have the computer. Yet both have different interface devices, those things which you use to manipulate what you got. For consoles, you have a controller (or a few of them). For computers you have a mouse, keyboard, and perhaps a joystick or wheel.

Console accessories company, Penguin United, launched the Eagle Eye Converter today for the Sony® PlayStation™ 3. This device converts any standard USB mouse and keyboard into a PlayStation™ 3 controller.
Though it is not the first of it’s kind, the simple plug-and-play device which unveiled at E3 2010 has caught the attention of gamers around the world.
“The feedback and enthusiasm from gamers has been astonishing,” said Richard Huang, Penguin United’s President. “Whether from diehard fans of first-person shooters, PC or PS3 games, the response since E3 has been amazing.”
Complete with turbo key settings, fully customizable keymapping, and programmable combo macros; the Eagle Eye Converter offers PS3 users the similar functions to the XFPS RateUp with a little extra.
Though you will have to program the device on a Windows-based PC with the provided software; the process only takes a few moments.
Featuring two separately customizable keymappings (which can be changed via a switch on the device), the Eagle Eye can be switched from your first-person shooter mapping to your fighting game mapping without reprogramming the device.
For those who dread attempting a fighting game on mouse and keyboard, don’t worry, this device may be a can of whoop-ass flirting with your can opener.
How is that possible considering the execution of moves requires fluid manipulation of the joysticks with tenacious timing when pressing the buttons? Simple, combo settings.
Instead of memorizing sequences such as: down half-circle right triangle…whatever; simply program that combination into the Eagle Eye and map it to a specific key. Once in game, the execution of that maneuver will only require one key.
For first-person shooter enthusiasts, the Eagle Eye is a tremendous device.
Outfitted with a high-capacity CPU, the Eagle Eye translates mouse movements to the PS3 with remarkable ease, fluidity, and most importantly for FPS, precision.
