Hi fellow Dusties,
With KB+M now supported in the current build, I'm wondering if you can share:
(1) What brand of KB+M are you using? Is it bluetooth or USB?
(2) Whats the performance, in terms of sensitivity, responsiveness etc within the game.
(3) Level of in-game customization (sorry have not updated my game yet, so not sure how it is implemented)
(4) Overall feel in-game and in-hand.
Thanks! I'm itching to try out the Hori TAC3 but I'm also wondering if I should get another brand if its clearly better than the TAC3.

Thanks for the great reply. I'm finally going to have the chance to toy around with KB+M tonight after work. Any other reviews from users of:
Aimon PS Elite, Eagle Eye, or Hori TAC3?
or just a bluetooth KB+M combo? I'd imagine bluetooth is also supported?

Time to pitch in a couple of reviews of my own:
1. Hori TAC3. This is a USB product (ie mouse plugs into keypad, then keypad plusg into PS3)
2. Just bad across the board. A lot of jagged movement especially on the diagonals. For some reason, the movement keys are not functioning properly in this game, even though it works fine on other games. As in, my dustie will walk half a step, pause, and walk another half step, pause, etc. I'm not sure if this required a firmware or driver update but even an old bluetooth keyboard I had worked well. Regretted this purchase.
3. Mouse movement is non-scalable by itself (ie only one dpi setting). Other customization options per in-game.
4. Feel of the mouse and keypad are ok. Designed with PS3 in mind so the PS symbology and PS button is built-in. However, its overpriced and performance is woefully inadequate for this game. Might work well with other FPS but I'd certainly NOT recommend this for Dust. |

Next:
1. The Razer Nostromo and Logitech G100 mouse. Both are USB devices.
2. I had the Nostromo from last year, and I think its a great device for Dust. My desk space for the PS3 setup isnt very big and the small footprint of the device fits well with the mouse. You can customise the keys and save it into the device memory according to the key setup in Dust, and it works fine when plugged into the PS3. The only thing is I've not figured out if there's a way to program the PS symbols (square, X, O, and the triangle thingy) into the Nostromo, which is originally designed for use on PC/Macs. So I had to swap between the DS3 and Nostromo when it comes to some parts of the UI. However, in-combat, the Nostromo holds its own and the ergonomics really shines through. Nothing much to say about the mouse, except it has a nice button to change the dpi on the fly (max 2500 dpi). Slight changes can be detected in-game and the higher dpi makes the mouse more responsive.
3. Again, not much in-game customisation other than the default sensitivity settings in Dust.
4. All in, a much better solution than the Hori TAC3 as reviewed my previous post. The Nostromo is a luxury which I'm using simply because I already have it for my older PC games, otherwise I'd think most KBs work fine with Dust. But glad to see that it works for this game as well. If anyone knows of a way to have it programmed to make the PS symbols that'd be great if you can share it.
Cheers. |

Also, has anyone tried the Steelseries Sensei gaming mouse?
I read that an interesting feature is the CPI (characters per inch) adjustment function. Basically it allows you to set how far your mouse pointer travels for the same amount of physical movement. And all settings are saved in the device itself. Meaning you dont need the mouse driver software to use your settings as its saved on the mouse itself.
Would this be an effective counter to the limit imposed on mouse speed by Dust? Anyone tried it? |
