never been much of a pc gamer except for games like warcraft and starcraft.

what i like about the controller mod is that it basically puts all the fingers to use.

thumbs = analog sticks

index = bumper

middle = trigger

other two fingers get 2 face buttons on each side...

it works pretty much like a glove.

i'm sick of MS and Sony being so stubborn about a mouse and keyboard. i'll give sony some props for at least allowing a M+KB on some games (they don't work on all FPS games do they?).

i have a tray that i made for my M+KB that i use for my PC and it works great. it allows me to sit back in my chair and play comfortable and accurately. with all their money and RnD, Sony and MS could easily develop something that works even better than a tray.

if you don't want to play with a M+KB..fine- don't. but at least give others the option.

i'm also tired of the argument that a M+KB gives too much of an advantage. um.....duh...you just proved the point that a M+KB is much better and should be allowed. with skill matching, it shouldn't be a major problem. people will play with other people of similar ability. for tournaments they will have to split the two apart but that's a very minor segment and can be done very easily.

this is ridiculous. get over yourselves (MS and Sony) trying to differentiate yourselves from the PC. all your consoles are are just PC's. why not use one of PC's greatest assets? the accuracy, speed, and flexibility of a M+KB should be an option for those of us that refuse to "settle" for a controller.

IMO, it looks ugly but may help a little, although the buttons may get a little annoying.

I wonder how he got rid of the holes where the buttons used to be?

I don't think this controller would work for me, but it's impressive that he designed and made it, and it will surely work for someone.

As for mouse+keyboard, yes a mouse is more precise, but even though I used to be a PC gamer I still prefer to use the X360 controller. It's because it allows me to sit back and be more laid-back when I play games, whereas using a mouse and keyboard for me requires a desk and usually more of a leaning-forward position. It's just not as comfy, and bad for my back.

I think the left thumbstick should be above the right one, atleast for good FPS gameplay. That's why the 360 controller is better than the PS3 one for that genre. The layout is inferior to the PS in some other genres though, so the two designs are about equal, as long as both are rumble. Dualshock FTW!

Sony steals the design tomorrow, and also removes rumble again.

They probably will
