So I see call of duty 4 recently, my buddy just got a ps3 for xmas. First and foremost it is an awesome game. I would get a ps3 just to play call of duty 4, thats how much I like it, especially the online play. The problem is that I cant get over using the controller to control the character and game play. Is it possible to hook up to the ps3, a wireless keyboard and mouse and use that to play the game? I come from a long history of playing games on the PC and naturally I'm pretty adept at using the mouse to look around (right joystick on ps3 controller) and the arrow keys to strafe side to side and front and back (left joystick). I have a mouse with several buttons on it I'd like to use for all the items, weapon switch etc...


So...is this possible? Not just with call of duty 4, but with other games as well. I really dont want to learn on the controller and I know I could jump right into having more fun if the keyboard/mouse route is possible.

Also, can the xbox360 do this as well?

My review of the Splitfish FragFX. I don't know how I can play CoD4 w/o it. It was as if it was built for that game alone. It's also great with Warhawk. I have yet to find any other game it's good with though. But besides, playing Cod4 on the regular sixaxis wasn't that bad...(although I got so pissed off at it and had to buy the FragFX).


The controller sucks with UT3, but at least UT3 has kb/mouse support (and the only game in the world released atm to have it).

isn't this almost like cheating? no way can a controller beat a mouse and keyboard, right?

I think UT allows you to sort in the online matchmaking by controller only/KB & mouse only games.
