Penguin United's Eagle-Eye Converter to give XCM XFPS Rateup Adapter some competition
Our good friends over at Penguin United is getting into the FPS market with their own version of the keyboard and mouse adapter known as Eagle-Eye Converter. The Eagle Eye is an adapter which allows you to use a Keyboard and Mouse as your controller for PlayStation 3. It simply maps out the PS3’s controller scheme to a standard USB Keyboard and Mouse, ideal for First-Person Shooting games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, Killzone, and many more. It’s also useful for RPG games like Dragon Age, Demon’s Souls, Final Fantasy, etc. You can also set Turbo Mode for the mouse and keyboard controls that correspond to the X, O, TRIANGLE, SQUARE, R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons, to give you an edge.
This will be bring some competition to XCM's XFPS Rateup Adapter. The Eagle-Eye Converter doesnt look as sleek as the Rateup Adapter but I guess we can't judge a book by its cover. So we'll have to see how well this works when its released.
It is to launch at E3 2010 for about $49.99 which is half the price of XCM's XFPS. However, you can simply provide them with your name, email, and delivery address to be added to their product alert list. They will notify you immediately when they have this product in stock. You will also receive a $10 coupon with your notification email.
