now our splitfish product manager came to me and he asked me if I wanted to
0:13
unbox this well it's a gaming peripheral and it comes with a Chuck and I said
0:17
what do you mean a Chuck what's a Chuck I I figured out what he meant he means
0:22
it comes with like a nunchuck like device so this is the frag FX shark from
0:29
split fish and what's cool about this particular gaming peripheral is that it
0:35
is designed for PS3 PC and
0:38
Mac well that's not that special okay let's get into what's actually special
0:43
about it this is a mouse and sort of
0:47
like a mouse and Chuck so it's a mouse and a control pad style controller that
0:55
works with the PlayStation 3 so here let's have a look at the mouse first
1:00
so you can see the mouse includes your PS3 compatible buttons it also has start
1:06
a mouse wheel and clicks so that's kind of cool right because you know not
1:10
everyone not everyone appreciates the
1:13
analog stick for aiming in FPS games am I right I'm right okay it also includes
1:21
a soft cloth mouse pad that's got a
1:24
couple of non well rather not a couple it's got six nonslip rubber feet on the
1:28
bottom okay so come comes with that so you can throw that on your lap and it
1:32
includes a Chuck so the Chuck allows you
1:36
to use macros rapid fire button
1:40
remapping slick swap what's a oh stick swap there you go so you can swap sticks
1:45
you've also got the ability to control the sensitivity you've got an onof
1:48
switch this has a ton of functionality you've got an analog stick okay and then
1:53
you have three trigger buttons now it oh
1:57
no okay yeah the size is not bad I was going to say it looks like it might be a
2:00
little bit big for me but I can actually fairly comfortably reach everything but
2:03
this button right here so I can reach all these guys no problem I can control
2:07
the analog stick and I can control this no problem the mouse as well is a touch
2:12
on the big side but remember I do have very small hands but even so I'm able to
2:16
comfortably reach all four of these buttons I can left and right click and I
2:21
can sort of reach the start button I mean you don't use start button that much anymore if consoles are anything
2:25
like how they used to work when I played console games which was
2:30
last console I owned when it was current was actually a Super Nintendo so shows
2:34
you it's been a while all right package includes a wireless mouse Wireless left
2:38
hand grip the frag Chuck a dongle a mouse pad I'll show you the dongle in a
2:42
minute and a manual one of the most easy to use and intuitive controllers ever
2:47
designed specifically for the PS3 and really they're focused on PS3 here PC
2:52
and Mac the frag effect shark gives you that same PC style gameplay on the PS3
2:56
faster more accurate and easier to use than a standard PS3 contr controller
3:00
yeah aim in to that you can dynamically program the motion swap buttons use
3:04
Rapid Fire and adjust the dead zone oh that's cool okay making the frag FX
3:09
shark a truly intelligent controller requires two AA batteries and with 50
3:13
hours of play time and 500 hours of power save standby the mouse is a 1750
3:18
DPI sorry I know I'm just going through specs here but this is all relatively
3:21
important you can play with the mouse on the PS3 as you would do on a
3:27
PC cool six AIS support okay neat fast
3:32
access to special features okay this is all kind of rehashing the same stuff now
3:36
uh manual the manual is in a variety of different
3:42
languages including English which is good because that's what I can use
3:47
where's the English one there we go oh it's a onepage manual so that's pretty
3:50
straightforward so it shows you how to use it on the PC and the Mac uh it
3:54
should be fairly straightforward to set up on the PS3 so to start playing on the
3:57
PS3 you press select and you are ready to go and play really that easy okay and
4:01
it shows you how to program special functions as well so that's cool here is
4:04
the dongle so this is a wireless
4:10
controller you can switch between controller and keyboard
4:15
okay Neato and here is how you would use
4:18
it so you're sitting on your couch you got your mouse pad here you
4:24
got your
4:27
Chuck and this is how you can pone all the noobs in whatever console FPS you're
4:33
playing while they are struggling with
4:37
analog sticks like a chimp thank you for
