There's a lot of opinionated people chiming in here, and that's fine. But they are just opinions. Let's look at the facts:

1. CCP advertises KBM support.

2. PS3 has native KBM support.

So, it would stand to reason that CCP gives it's paying customers who choose to use a SUPPORTED input device at least marginally useable controls. Right now, they do not have that, and haven't had working controls since chrome.

As long as #1 above is true, people complaining about aka am users are wrong. "But it's a console... " See #1.

KBM users have a legitimate complaint. Aiming down sights with a rail rifle is a night and day difference. I tested it. With KBM aiming down sights, I went through at least 4 times the ammo to get the kill with an advanced RR. When I used my DS4 in the same match, those kills were basically instablaps. A skilled KBM user is at a distinct disadvantage when facing a skilled DS3/4 user because AA is still too strong, and KBM is garbage.

IF CCP supports multiple control inputs, then they should f*cking support them. Not half ass it, which is the current state of KBM.

TL;DR
As long as #1 is true, then the DS3 only crowd really don't have an argument. When #1 is NOT true , then we can have a big dual shock circle jerk. Until then, STFU about it, and CCP fix your input so we don't keep losing players over it.

Do you just have to plug your DS4 into the PS3 and you're off and running playing Dust with it? Also, you have to stay corded right?

Yeah you plug it it and then hold two buttons until it's recognized by the system. After that you can plug and unplug as you want. And yes, it needs to stay plugged in to work. I hope they do a firmware update so they can work wirelessly . The new controllers are much much better in my opinion.

Also, it didn't work on my fat ps3. Only worked on the new slim one. Not sure if that's just me or if that's a known issues with the fat ones.
