PS4 Getting New “Tactical Assault Commander” Keyboard/Mouse Controller Combo from Hori

Quite a while ago, Hori released the Tactical Assault Commander 3 keyboard and mouse controller for PS3. Looks like a PS4 version is coming, as revealed by a listing on Amazon Japan.

Wow, haven't seen this before, or maybe I did, but it didn't really catch my attention. Interesting kit, but the price is very off putting.

[Xavy]

Very nice

Does this really work with the ps4? I had a splitfish and the mouse controls were not like gaming with a mouse on pc.

[Abriael]

Of course they're not exactly the same. These work by emulating mouse controls with controller inputs. It's more precise and effective than a controller if you're used to mouse and KB, but it can't be exactly as precise as a mouse on PC.

It's probably better with the PS4 than the old splitfish on PS3 though (I had one too), because the DualShock 4 is much more precise, so there's more room to emulate a mouse semi-correctly.

Does it support the touchpad controls to emulate mouse movements in games which use it....the few that support it for such purposes at least?

Also...are there really that many games which have a mouse type interface on the PS4? Outside of some MMO's which have versions on the PC, I'm not aware of any.

[SlightlyRetarted]

How well these work nowadays? I tested 2 of these about 5 years ago and was not impressed.

[Abriael]

No idea. I never tried one on PS4. I'll probably get to try this one at TGS (or maybe even at Gamescom). I'll let ya'll know.

Does the mouse work in FPS games?

[InTheZoneAC]

there's already a ridiculous amount of aim assist, do you really want a mouse?

[Abriael]

Some are just used to the mouse, regardless of advantages. Personally, I feel much more natural with the mouse, because that's how I started many years ago.

I prefer the analog stick for movement, though, so the ideal controller for me would be a hybrid with left analog stick and mouse.

Why has nobody invented this yet? That would be awesome.

@Flex

They had. Many times actually... I don't think any of them sold very well though.

I totally agree with you on this. I would love to see something that used a stick for movement and the mouse for aiming. Though I like the other keys for functions for Use, jump, sprint and crouch. I usually map a grenade button to my mouse and melee.

[andibandit]

No, I dont want a mouse, I was wondering if it would bring an unfair advantage.

[_LarZen_]

I wonder if the use of this is a bannable offense in multiplayer fps games?

[Abriael]

Never heard anything about that, and this kind of controllers existed since the PS3/Xbox 360 era. Even if developers wanted to ban them, they would have no way to, as there's no way to identify them. They just appear like any other controller to the game.

[_LarZen_]

Yeah I never heard of it either. Hope it's good... Would be nice to have some options...options are never bad :)

Unless PS4 has native PC games there really is no need for a Mouse and Keyboard

[MRMagoo123]

any fps game will be far better to play with m/kb , I used one of these sorts of things on ps3 and was getting 20/1 kdr in COD all day long sometimes double that. Controllers are at a high disadvantage in shooters.

[Spid3r6]

The problem is that these shooters normally are not as accurate as native PC versions of the game.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Supposedly it works pretty well, should be better than ps3 and splitfish. It's cool to give ppl options.

[S2Killinit]

Oh man. I need this. I actually noticed that the PS4 has mouse and keyboard support when I was playing around with my settings yesterday.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

My GF loves minecraft, but doesnt want to play with me on console because of the controller. Now this might solve our problem. Only if it was a bit cheaper.

[scark92]

Oh yeah! Forgot about that possibility, I prefer M/K for a game like that!

[Whitey2k]

There u go Microsoft fans ps4 does support mouse n keyboard

[GreenUp]

XIM4 or bust. Thank you OBsIV and Mist.
