Pre CES season means lots of "announcement of announcements" planned for the huge event at the beginning of the year. Video games, being very much a consumer electronic, are not immune to the pre-noucement phenomenon. To that end Penguin United has announced that they will be announcing a unique adapter for the PlayStation 3 console, called Eagle-Eye, which will convert any USB keyboard and mouse into a "turbo charged controller". Suggested retail price for the Eagle-Eye is $49.99, though many gamers can't put a price tag on playing Killzone 2 with their preferred control interface.

PENGUIN UNITED ANNOUNCES EAGLE-EYE CONVERTER

FOR SONY PS3 AT CES

 

Converts Keyboard and Mouse into Turbo Controller for First-Person Shooter Video Games

 

Fremont, Calif., (December, 2009) - Ask most video game fanatics and they'll tell you that first-person shooters just play better using a keyboard and mouse. That's why Penguin United has created the Eagle-Eye Converter in order to meet this specific need. The Eagle-Eye is an adapter that converts any standard USB HID keyboard and mouse into a turbo charged controller for the Sony PS3 video game console. The Eagle-Eye Converter will be on display at CES January 7-10, at Booth #5413, North Hall.

 

The Eagle-Eye Converter provides a customized key mapping feature for all PS3 controller buttons that seamlessly transfers the command data to your keyboard and mouse. Now first-person shooter games like Call of Duty; Modern Warfare, Killzone 2, and BioShock can be played with greater dexterity, speed and accuracy than with a standard controller.

 

"One of the drawbacks with playing first-person shooters is the lack of speed and accuracy offered by traditional controllers," stated Richard Huang, President of Penguin United. "We found a simple solution by bypassing the controller and transferring the button features directly to the computer keyboard. The Eagle-Eye offers an amazing alternative for fans of shooting games."

 

Product Highlights:

 

·         Customized Key Mapping Feature Transfers Command Data to Keyboard and Mouse

·         Same Data Transfer Rate as Original PS3 Controller for Greater Dexterity

·         Optional Turbo Mode for R1, R2, L1, L2 and the 4 Primary Action Buttons

·         Supports 2 USB Ports for Standard HID Keyboard and Mouse

·         Provides Turbo Function for Standard PS3 Controller when Not Using Keyboard/Mouse

·         SRP: $49.99

·         On Display at CES Booth #5413, North Hall
