So most of the time people of different game platform disciplines (I guess you can use this term) have problems moving between PC and XBox/PS3. While this is somewhat handled by Microsoft with an adapter (lets you use your xbox controller on box Xbox and PC) or Gravis pads looking and feeling very similar to PlayStation controllers, there isn't much for the PS3, or taking PC technology to the consoles themselves.
This company has a hybrid solution: http://www.bannco.com/. They have devices that will allow you to work on either console or PC, and bring the PC Mouse concept for aiming to the Console and the Joystick concept to the PC for movement. Now like I said before, there has been some transition for console people to PC with controller solutions, but not really much in the other direction.
Maybe the best of both worlds? I'd like to try them out, but don't know where I would get one to just "test".
It is more than the controller that is the problem, auto targeting, dead zones, hit boxes all tend to be different between PC and Console games... You are almost always better off using the original controllers.
Aye I agree with you. That is why I wanted to test it. To see if it is doing some type of controller emulation, or if it is taking advantage of the mouse drivers available to the XBox's dashboard.
