Interesting Game Controller By Split Fish

Split Fish, I think, is a German company. At least the website gave me that impression.

They primarily make aftermarket controllers for the Play Station 3. However, they had an interesting controller for the PC. It has a mouse for the right hand. The mouse has 4 buttons, arranged in a cross for the thumb. I like that set up. Makes it easy for the right thumb to index any of the buttons. Personally, I would program them for sprinting, jumping, left and right lean, thereby putting all movement controls on the mouse.
For the left hand this package had a controller meant to be held in the air not on the desktop. It had three buttons on the front similar to the way a console’s controller has index finger buttons on the front. It also had a thumb stick and a thumb pad, along with a few thumb buttons. The left hand controller has motion detection, an interesting design all in all.

Personally, I will stick with my trusty mouse and Belkin Nostromo n52te combo. It fits my hand well and has a nice setup program by Razer.

Using the keypad allows me to setup a new game with close to the same setup  I am using in other games. It makes the learning curve flat and easy, though it requires programming before you can play. With the n52te it is easily done.

Shadow Warrior 2 Takes Me Back 1992 - Wolfenstein 3D, first 'almost' 3D game environment. 1993 - DOOM takes PC gamers by storm! 1996 - Quake takes multiplayer seriously as a main game mode in the 3D First Person Shooter (FPS) game. 1997 - The original Shadow Warrior comes out.  I remember them all. Played them all. See I have been gaming since the, get this, IBM PC jr came along. For all the silly name, it wasn't a bad machine for the time. Back then all games were things like King's Quest, Need For Speed, and such. Later, as hardware permitted, flying games came along like ACES of Europe, ACES of the Pacific. All that time I was wishing hard for what later became known as the FPS game. So, when Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D came along I was ecstatic. In the Shadow Warrior reboots of Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2 you find that late 90's style of FPS play. No strategy, not even much in the way of tactics like a modern military ...

Tier 39-Unidad Level 4-Wildlands Battle Royale

A  Free-Play  Fur-Ball! Mass charges of over a dozen Unidad troops at a time. Little Bird gun ships,  Blackhawk Gatling gun and rocket pod choppers. Cobra attack helicopters shot down so close they crush an allied rebel and nearly pin me to the tower with the nose.    What started out as an aerial raid on Koani Airfield quickly became a Tier 39, Unidad patrol level 4 - fur ball. A Gatling gun equipped Blackhawk helicopter flies down the throat of Koani Airfield's three SAM sites and runway. Flying low to avoid a SAM launch, and raking the airfield with Gatling gun fire. Forcing Santa Blanca to responds with two armed Blackhawks. A ground infiltration follows, initiated by two ~400m shots. One a head shot. A brutal take  down on a guard gets me in. Then I flub a shot which starts the fur ball. With the help of rebel allies, the four man team takes over the furthest tower. Defending it against all comers. Unidad ground troops attack in wave ...
