Penguin Eagle-Eye USB HID Converter Helps PC Gamers Crossover to PS3
Many hardcore PC gamers suffer terrible angst and anxiety not being able to enjoy console games. Hardwired reflexes and habits all tied to the fluid control afforded by a full keyboard and mouse keep PC gamers from being able to enjoy FPS games. Penguin has created a Eagle-Eye converter to give PC gamers a fighting chance on the PS3 console. Loved by console gamers but abhorred by PC gamers, the handheld wireless game controllers are much more rugged and adaptable to location and many different types of games. They are great for platformers but FPS games are horribly awkward. Being able to use a gaming keyboard and mouse on PS3 games may make PC gamers froth at the mouth finally being able to play all the great games available on the amazing PS3 at their full capacity. The Eagle-Eye doesn't just connect the keyboard and mouse and map connections, it also has a programmable interface for creating macros and fully customizing the key mappings. You can create multi-key macros that can help keep pace with console controllers' simplicity and conveniently placed buttons. Any standard HID USB keyboard and mouse should work, so bring your LAN party favorites. This is a true gamer's bridge and console kings will need to be ready for a mob of PC players migrating to consoles in late June or July. That's when the devices are being showcased abroad, shipments can be expected to follow shortly. MSRP is set to the very reasonable $59.99. Video demo after the jump.
