Having trouble getting a FragFX? This deal might help

by Mike on July 24th, 2008

If you’re unsatisfied in using regular console gamepads for FPSes like me, then you’d probably be happy with this news: SplitFish, maker of the FragFX PS3 controller, made a deal with Living Picture AG for the worldwide distribution of SplitFish’s FX line of console game controllers.

How does this deal affect gamers like us?

Simple. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on FragFX for months but can’t seem to because it’s always out of stock, then maybe this turn of events could change all that.

According to the provided press release, the deal will allow SplitFish access to Living Picture’s distribution network and provide financial and additional sales resources to increase the SplitFish production capacity.

As you know, FragFX has a current backlog of orders in Europe and North America.

Unconvinced how useful these controllers are? Then know this: To promote its device, SplitFish sent an employee to play Call of Duty 4’s online multiplayer using the controller. Interestingly, the guy earned top spot in the global leaderboards.

Of course, if you’re terrible in PC FPS, then no special controller could ever help you.
