, This is as good as it gets for mouse/kb but it's ultimately disappointing.By Shatner
Like most I was very excited to read the reviews and watch the demos. I ordered and installed the product, and set everything up properly. The customer support is great, and the new firmware fixed any small issues the product had with jaggedness. There is no lag, and aiming is, technically, more accurate than is possible with a controller.
HOWEVER, I ultimately returned the product. The problem that I haven't seen mentioned is that the main thing that makes using a mouse so much better than a controller simply doesn't translate onto PS3:
On a PC, a mouse is LINEAR. If you move the mouse 2 inches to the right your character turns a certain amount. If you move the mouse 2 inches to the right quickly, the character turns the EXACT SAME AMOUNT, he just does it MORE QUICKLY. This is not the case when using a mouse on Black Ops, Medal of Honor, etc. The Eagle Eye basically translates the "mouse is moving to the right" action into "right analog stick is being pushed to the right." This, in theory, works well. However, on the PS3, the speed of your character's turn depends not on the speed that the mouse moves, nor the distance, but on a fixed in game sensitivity. For example, if you set your sensitivity to 2 in Black Ops, your character can only turn at a certain max speed. If you try to swipe your mouse to the right quickly, the PS3 only understands that the right analog stick is being pushed breifly, and your character will barely move. If you move the mouse relatively slowly, the character will turn farther, because the PS3 thinks the right analog stick has been pushed right for a longer period of time. This is the opposite of how it works on PC, and is very disconcerting. This is no fault of Penguin United, it is simply the way the game undertands inputs, and it cannot be changed unless the game has an option to undestand inputs in a linear way, such as the native mous/kb option in UT3. Ultimately, This was very frustrating/confusing, and I wound up losing more firefights trying to fight this effect and my own inutition than I would have if I had simply used the controller.
C/N You get to use a mouse and keyboard, but the REASON a mouse and keyboard is better in the first place doesn't really translate.

AWESOME performanceBy GODJOEY
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R23MV9UQIDRELI *UPDATED* December 5th 2010, The 2.0 firmware with deadzone neutralization the Eagle eye allows you to have 85%-90% of what a pc mouse feels like on your console. I hear also they are working on the Xbox version. People are having good results with XFPS and Eagle eye to get it to work on their Xbox's.
The Eagle Eye exceeded my expectations I was surprised how responsive the eagle eye is. Having used all the fragfx products and the Fragnstein. I have to say this is my favorite device. The only issue I have with this device is the auto melee and auto start issue. Once an hour at random the start button will engage for me also melee will do the same thing random. Other than that this device is the best I have used in 3 years. If you all need help setting yours up find us on youtube or visit on penguins site lots of people willing to help with settings per your specific mouse and dpi settings. Happy Holidays.
Pros
Great community
Support "firmware updates" "active in the community"
WORKS GREAT with Medal of Honor 1800dpi and higher mice a plus
Works great with all Call of Duty titles
Smooth Micro aiming horizontal/ and no scope
Smooth Diagonal while zoomed
Micro aiming
Quick Twitch aiming 180 degree no problem
Capability to use your own Gaming Mouse/ Keyboard

I waited too late to get my coupon validated lmao
Auto melee and auto start need to be fixed
If you are a PC gamer and prefer the use of your mouse on console then this is the adapter you want.

PS3 Eagle EyeBy R. Pangilinan
Very good product but doesn't accept "all" USB keyboards, only majority of them. The Del keyboard I had didn't work with it and I returned it because of that and ended up buying a wireless SplitFish instead.
