 Legally connect the keyboard and mouse to the PS3 and PS4 was possible before, but needed a corresponding software support games. And she met infrequently. For example, in the list of such PS4 games include Final Fantasy XIV and War Thunder. In fact, ordinary keyboard and mouse can be useful except that the fermentation of the Web. But a new set, according to the Sony, works perfectly in all the games.

Solomon solution for enthusiasts to dominate the console CoD was a product XIM4, which is essentially an adapter between the console and peripherals. But it is absolutely inhumane price from 14 000 ₽ (and in some periods and up to $ 400) made this decision very questionable and certainly not widespread. Plus, in addition to the adapter was necessary also itself a mouse and keyboard, and configure and update software brushed aside another part of the audience.

Now, one of two major console manufacturers in the world, a special set of production licenses Hori, consisting of a mini keyboard and mouse, plug and play which is connected to all relevant platforms company (PS3 and PS4). He also works on PCs running Windows.

We should also note the statement from Sony, the new set will fully support all the games on their consoles without any problems. From the description:

Designed to work seamlessly with the PS4 system and all games.Ustroystvo called Hori Tactical Assault Commander Pro. For neulyuzhe big name hides set for FPS-games. The keyboard has a corresponding "stripped-down" design. Under the thumb substitute the joystick that makes me think about the Razer Nostromo. The mouse is very reminiscent of Razer DeathAdder or other controllers with a "chopped" design buttons.

If your PC is like klavitury are not completely acceptable because of limited functionality, the console-like format almost perfect, since the total number of teams is small, and even text chat in online games on consoles simply do not have windows. Also klavitura of a set of fully programmable, based on the photo, also has the ability to store profiles and physically switch between them (apparently, for fine-tuning in the different games).



Pre Hori Tac Pro is now available on Amazon at a price of $ 150, which is comparable to the cost of the gaming mouse + keyboard of the second echelon.

What could be caused by a similar move by Sony?

First, no matter how protected the supporters gamepads their pets, for shooters they are absolutely not intended, resulting in a number of problems for developers as well. The most significant is the situation with separate servers for the same titles on the PC platform and consoles: the players on the keyboard and mouse expected iznichtozhayut players on the gamepad with rare exceptions

. Second, the sale of this kit is not only Sony can bring an additional source of income, but also increase the sale of shooters that owners set TAC Pro with a clear conscience will buy. Given the cost of premium titles at the level of 60 USD, a good decision.

Perhaps, in the second decade the Japanese, finally, able to recognize the failure of the gamepad as a device to control in FPS. Of course, as a class gamepads will survive because they are a great solution for simulation, fighting games, and many other genres.

And for millions of players in multiplayer shooters on video game consoles today happened is not the best: fast on the servers appear noticeably more accurate shooting players
