Impressions: Splitfish Frag Pro
The Splitfish Frag Pro is any FPS lover’s dream. Not only does it allow the user to take advantage of the preciseness of PC mouse, but also the tangibility of a controller at the same time.
The mouse and “Frag Chuck”, as affectionately named by G4TV, gives a FPS player the ability to go from mediocre to amazing. Have you ever wished that you could make quick movements while aiming at an opponent? The Frag Pro lets you do just that. What about sniping multiple opponents in a mere seconds, the Frag Pro lets you do that as well.
Here is how it works. You download software for the Frag Pro to your computer and customize the button layout. Set the sensitivity of the buttons and the speed at which your character will react to the controls. Once you finish fine tuning the controls, you are ready to collect kills. You may need to practice with the mouse and “Frag Chuck” a bit before you’re a killing machine, but once you get the hang of it and the features such as the “Frag button” which slows down gameplay, you’re as good as your reflexes allow.
The current Frag Pro is wired, but the upcoming Evo will be wireless. The mouse will be bigger and will be laser instead of optical. There is also some information trickling out about possibly having macros as well, so stay tuned for more on that. The Frag Pro retails for $70. The upcoming Evo will retail at $80. If you have any questions about how good this controller is, a gamer was able to best the guys from Infinity Ward at COD4 with it. $70 isn’t too much to ask for results like that.

sounds good, but im a controller person myself, this seems like a good combinatino of the two an whoever loves the mouse for FPS’s may surely like this.
looks kinda clumsy
Is this a PC game thing or works on PS3?
from the look of it its for both pc and ps3… correct me if Im wrong
Ghe, this would solve one of the reasons why I personally do not like FPS games on a console. Although from the image it does indeed look somewhat “clumsy”. I think it just looks like that it might be for the PC too because of the actual form of a mouse, relating it to a PC. But I am sure that it will be possible to use it for the PC soon, even if it was not really meant for it.
I’ll wait for the Evo most definitely. i might need to reset up my play area though to compensate. I just wish more companies would go “Hey ya know what? Let’s just add keyboard and mouse support in”
Now hopefully I can actually get more kills than my deaths for once.
trust me, it’s not as clumsy as it looks. I got one for christmas 2 years ago and as SOON as you put it in your hands, you know what to do. I will warn you that there is a small grace period where you have to warm up to it (but that might just be because I was so unused to playing with a mouse) once you’re hooked up and ready to go, it’s a breeze. I definitely recommend at least trying it.
I bet this would be really nice for Command & Conquer.
When Wireless = When purchased
this will ramp up the pwnage in COD that’s for sure. slow down gameplay, multiple snipes, oh man
I am toast when these people hit the networks. 8-X
Sounds really cool but wired = I’ll pass until the wireless model comes out at least
