This might help.

Basically, its a mouse for the 360.

Now before all the PC flamers start flaming about this, id like to add that im mainly a PC gamer, and believe that the mouse and keyboard control scheme is superior to the 360 or the ps3 controller when it comes to FPS games.

It dosent have a keyboard, but instead has a controller similar to the Wii, but without the motion tracking in it.

My understanding with the issues of peripherals like this, is not the hardware itself, but the software on the console built to interpret specific controller communications.

i.e. even though it's a mouse, it can still only send the information which can be interpreted by the games/OS. I believe the issues with things like this is in how the data sent by the peripheral is interpreted. People comment on it not being smooth (imagine replicating every mouse movement with a notch of a controller) - this issue utlimately falls down to the link between controller/mouse and the OS/game.

Nothing necessarily wrong with them trying, but from what I've heard it doesn't necessitate into a full-blown PC experience where games are built to interpret mouse-data.

Interesting. I'm still using PC for all shooters (at least all that I can run). The only shooters I play on console are the ones exclusive to consoles.

Really? You mean I couldn't stereotype PC gamers at all?

about all of the PC gamers I have met have said that once they got a PC Gaming Rig they never went back for consoles and the only thing I could ever think that PC gamers can go and get a console for only games that are not on the PC.

Besides! When did I say I was a PC gamer?

I don't even have a decent PC to play games with!

One thread would have sufficed, I think. Anyway, it's not really a big deal - couches and mice don't go together, it's still mapped input instead of direct, and if it does give a real advantage, it'll get banned. It won't convert PC gamers, either. There's a completely different mentality and approach to gaming between the two.

No because im not ignorant to say i speak for all PC gamers, not even the part that is frustrated with the current state of PC gaming compared to console gaming. Im just showing PC gamers a new option (and 360 gamers too).

I tried using one of those before - the "FragFX" it was called - and it's nowhere near the same feeling as a mouse. Movement is abrupt and jerky; you'll never have a perfect M/KB substitute for consoles because controllers are analog.

I've even tried a real KB/M when playing UT3 on a PS3 and the game feels NOTHING like playing it on the PC. Things are just too slow on consoles.

Wow never even thought about this idea. Pretty cool, if I can find a functional one for PS3 I'll definitely pick it up, I'd play more FPS if I had a mouse for PS3.

I'm a PC gamer and I don't hate playing FPS on consoles. This Scorch thing is just like the FragFX for PS3. Pretty cool. Not sure if I will invest in either right now though. I am intetrested though! For now I like playing console shooters with a controller :).

Actually, Legato is right. Just because it gets a mouse, does not mean I am going to game on a inferior platform.

just adapt to the controller, that's what the game is made for. I always have my halo PC when I feel the urge to pwn.

Most PC gamers do not play on PC's just for the controls alone. The best reasons for them doing so would be either dedicated servers, mods, the community or clans, or all of the above placed together. Sure, the mouse controller may work (don't really know), but you may not find these options on a console.
