Makes PS3 games playable - no dual shock action - clunky, but effective setup

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've played Uncharted 1 and 2 completely through with this controller. It's worlds better than the silly little buttons and joysticks on the PS3 controller. Also, no battery to worry about. The setup is done on a PC and is clunky, but full-featured. There are a couple different modes and key mappings that can be saved. I've just mapped one set and it's been good for me.

So far, the only thing it can't do is simulate the dual-shock/six axis action. For example: There is one section of Uncharted 1 that requires you to shake the controller if zombies jump on you. With this controller, you're just dead if they land on you. I was able to bypass the issue by keeping Nate Drake moving too much for them to get me, but other games might depend more heavily on that functionality. Obviously, there is no vibration feedback either since you'll be using a keyboard and mouse.

I didn't grow up playing on console controllers, so this saved my (or Nate Drake's) life. Literally, hours of it.

Works perfectly if you FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

(PS3) Overall this is a great device. It does exactly as it claims if you follow the instructions and take the time to adjust the settings in game as noted. You also want to get a mouse that is at least 1600dpi and is compatible with the device. Their website has great lists of what others have gotten to work and what has not worked.

I know a few people that purchased this after seeing a friend of ours use it. I took the time to follow instructions and set it up and it worked greast they didn't and it failed them. Soon as we followed the instructions and set it up correctly it was perfect after that. Only reason this did not get an overall 5 is the setup. If you just want to plug the controller buttons into this and start playing like a PC don't buy it. This is not the device for someone that does not to put in a little effort in the beginning.

At first i tried to set this up with a Microsoft standard laser 1.0A mouse and it would not work. Changed over to a Logitech USB optical and it worked fine. I do see a big difference between a 800dpiand a 1600dpi mouse with this. It's more noticeable than on the computer. Keyboard almost anything worked with it that was wired as long as you don't try to put controls on special characters if the keyboard has them. Game play has been great. Targeting is a lot more accurate then with a controller. This is ideal for FPS games and makes a great control upgrade. Purchased it and wanted to iron it out for Defiance when it comes out. Great choice overall.

MAC users this is not compatible and it does not claim to be. So you have to use a VM to set it up or just get a cheap netbook.

Don't listen to the bad reviews...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2013

The bad reviews on this device may be prior to the 3.0 firmware update/application for the Eagle Eye and/or may be from people who just didn't take the time to calibrate it properly or tweak it.

That being said, just as background and setup, I'm a mid-30's gamer who grown up rocking the FPS online PC games all the way back to the original Quake1&2, Wolfenstein and the ever awesome Half Life on those fantastic dial ups. It's ingrained that a keyboard and mouse are the necessary tools for an FPS. I transitioned to the PS3 because of the expense of continually updating my gaming rig each year and in buying the PS3 I've gone though quite a few Keyboard/Mouse setups for it. Most noteable is the SplitFish series of PS3/xBox mouse setups.

The SplitFish has it's advantages with an easy plug'n play, but the calibration, adjustments and precision are far lacking in comparison to the Eagle Eye. Moving from one game to the next you find the SplitFish 'feeling' is way different on each game. Now this isn't a review on the SplitFish, but a review on the Eagle Eye. I have had more issues trying to dial in and change and setup the SplitFish to get the PC Game feel and in the end had no luck. The SplitFish will never feel like a PC game setup. Period. I eventually just "lived with it".... until I jumped the CoD line and moved to BF3 where the SplitFish is completely and utterly useless by the stair effect.

Being useless I moved onto another Mouse/Keyboard setup and bought the Eagle Eye. I was weary based on some of the review, but I'm happy I bought it. Here, let me say that again in big'ol letters I"M HAPPY I BOUGHT IT. It's far beyond the SplitFish setup.

I'm running an older 3500 dpi Razer Deathadder with the Razer Nostromo as my keyboard and, no joke, DonkeyTron! Let me translate DonkeyTron.... yeah, it friggin rocks. The Eagle Eye recognized both hardware and worked perfectly. It's not exactly like playing on a PC, but it is so so very close. You get precise aiming movements and the ability to have all your key command / usage buttons at your finger tips and it was fairly easy to setup and be up and running/playing in minutes with something that will 'work' and 'dominate'. I say that because, you are able to do a pretty quick setup and have the thing working much better than any other keyboard/mouse combos I've tried, but to really get it super dialed in to your preference it takes a couple more minutes to tweak things. (Caveat: I'm super picky about how my hardware performs, so this could just be me.)

SETUP: The instructions are a little lacking (box instructions), but the setup is fast and easy. If you're on Linux you're SOL and will have to find a Windows machine.

The one thing they leave out of the setup is that the keyboard and mouse that you're going to be using with the PS3 need to be plugged into the windows machine and the drivers HAVE to be installed. For some crazy reason (early morning) I totally missed this and took me 5 minutes to "think" about it.

The Eagle Eye comes with the 3.0 firmware and software and it's super easy to setup ad use. Once running, it's a matter of clicking on the PS3 button shown in the wonderful example PS3 controller image (in app) and then clicking the keyboard or mouse button that you want to assign it to. Once that's done, then it's a matter of taking all three devices and hooking them up to your PS3. TaDa!

USE: I've had some uber bad stair effect with many mouse/keybaord combos for the PS3, but it's nearly non-existent with the Eagle Eye. In BF3, the SplitFish is almost un-playable, but with the Eagle Eye there's no stair effect - it's smooth, precise and fast.

I did run into the 'slow turning' that some people mentioned. If you have you're ingame settings too low then, when you try and 360 spin turn (like you can in PC FPS games) you'll have to pick your mouse up and slide it multiple times. This is just a matter of taking the time to dial in the settings. Once dialed in this is a great product.

CONS: Instructions are very short, but then when you run the app there's sidebar instruction that run you through things. Could they be a little more detailed? Yes. Do they give you enough information? Sure.

It is wired. The Eagle Eye device, that is. To me, this really isn't a huge con, but it does add some more cords to your gaming setup.

PROS: Price.
Easy setup.
Solid product - doesn't seem like it's going to break.
Supported Hardware - the list is very long and includes some great gaming keyboards/mice.
Online support - there's a ton of documentation and information online.
Multiple Key Mappings - this allows you to setup more than one mapping for the device. e.g. I have two on mine right now. One for BF3 and one for CoD since there's a slight variation in the buttons and I can adjust the aiming speeds for each.
PC FPS Feel - well, almost PC feel. It's pretty damn close and I've used almost every keyboard/mouse setup for the PS3.

Excellent piece of kit!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 14, 2011

Ordered it over the weekend, and it arrived today ( Tuesday ).
Being accustomed to using a RAT 7 gaming mouse along with a Razer Nostromo game controller, I wondered how this combination would work with the Eagle Eye.
To my absolute delight, it recognised them both immediately, and then I set about doing a key mapping to play Killzone 2.
Probably took a little longer than it should, because I left one of the fields blank first time, and didn't notice until I tried to save to the convertor, and it put me right.
Not deterred in the least by this, I then followed the instructions about how to connect all this gear to the PS3.
Loaded the game, and off it went,with no problem at all.
By no means a hotshot at fps games, I found this set up a lot easier to use than a PS3 controller on its own.

Just like playing on the PC. Even my KD is the same!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I play Black Ops 2 on the PC a lot. My KD for a good while is trending to 1.1 (I keep track myself). However playing on the PS3 with the standard controller is a nightmare for me. Even though I prestiged on the PC and could have done several times over I was getting scores of 2-30 on combat training with other noobs and bots on the PS3!!

I bought this hoping it would be OK and it has exceeded my expectations. After setting it up on Saturday, I connected my Razer BlackWidow Tournament and my Razer Ouboros mouse to it. It worked great - after a good few hours of gaming this weekend I am now level 28 with a K/D of 1.1. A K/D that is just like the PC funnily enough.

Note that you need a high DPI mouse for best effect (the Ouboros is 8200 but I run it at 3600). I had trouble with the Razer Nostromo though, it does not seem to work with the thumb stick (which I program for jump, sprint, crouch etc).

Overall, excellent. I just bought a Sony Wireless Gaming Headset (they are nice too and work on the PC) and plan to get the expansion pack (and MW3) as I am now confident that I can play on the PS3 without frustration! Now if only the PS3 gfx matched my i7/ASUS G680gtx setup!

Product has huge potential. Software / CD is it's weak side

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

The product works, getting it to work is a headache though, but once it works it works.

It comes with config software that just reminds me Of Visual Basic 6 days, If you buy the PS3 version you still get xbox instructions.

When you try configure the software it has little boxes you click in that are all over the place and you end up having to kill extra braincells trying to figure which belongs to which button.

If you want to upgrade the firmware you can't with a 64bit OS...
If it wasn't for the software issues I'd probably give it 5 stars.

Other than that it comes packaged nice, the item itself is made well and an extra bonus is the USB cable is pretty long :D

Works but could be better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

The converter arrived on time.

Once i opened i had to look for a compatible mouse and keyboard there is a list on website.

When i went on CoD or shooting games. It took a while to configure the buttons for keyboard.

It took about 3/4 mins to set buttons and 5/6 to calibrate In-Game.

It would be better if there was less of a staircase. It is smooth but when doing micro movements there is clearly a staircase.

Good thing about the converter is that there is turbo buttons which is good for when meant to rapidly press button instead just hold it down.
