A mouse and keyboard controller for the PlayStation 3 will be making its way to store shelves on November 2, 2011. Licensed by Sony Computer Entertainment, HORI will be manufacturing the so-called Tactical Assault Commander 3 peripheral set, which sells for ¥9800, or US$127.
The Tactical Commander 3 consists of an optical right-handed mouse and a keypad for the left hand with WASD-style keys. The pad also includes an easy-access D-Pad comes attached with a palm rest.
Tracking resolution on the optical mouse is unclear, but it's doubtful that the mouse can match the capabilities of a true gaming mouse for the PC. However, the mouse will come equipped with a DPI/sensitivity toggle for more precise aiming.
Sony has not yet announced what games it plans to support with the peripherals at this time. It's curious to see if the company plans to offer mouse and keyboard support for first person shooters like Killzone 3 and Resistance 3, which would undoubtedly benefit from the precision offered by the peripherals.
Beatiful, maybe i buy one to use with GIMX, why not ? =)
And i think its good news to GIMX, games coming with mouse/keyboard support will make mouse translation of GIMX easy, GIMX have more then that, have 8 layouts for each controller, imput another joysticks etc, GIMX have my eternal love =)
Looks like an epic fail to me, and at $127 it's a fucken ripoff.
The only games to support this are most likely the ps3 exclusives, though as Matlo said we are legit now
