FragFX FragChuck

*UPDATE* i’ve still to this day never learned to use keyboard with my left (non mouse) hand. I don’t see how it could be better than this. On Shooters i literally have the same set up for every game. Bottom trigger ADS (like console) then i have jump above it and tab as maps/leaderboards etc) the ‘D PAD’ is also great. I always have inventory as down. And the wii mote type punch is always set to melee. Sorry to bore you with that but my point is, I’ve just got so used to it. I don’t know what I’ll do if they ever discontinue it because i don’t think there are alternatives (that are to this standard). I feel like there’s such a gap n in the market for this and it would be great to see some other alternatives from like razer, microsoft or just up the build quality on this (which is perfectly fine. Great even! I just mean to like xbox/ps4 level) Obviously, i still agree with my original rating years down the line. Which is always nice to know as a shopper lol. I bought a gaming laptop a few months ago and it was a ROUGH transition from console. I have never been a PC gamer so trying to learn WASD was near impossible. I couldn't understand why every one raves about PC. Then it clicked, it was the mouse that is superior. Aiming with a mouse gives next level precision as opposed to a stick. But WASD is cumbersome at best. Trying to memorise what 100000 different keys do is NOT fun. Recently, I had a look around for an alternative and came across this beauty. After extensive research (there wasn't much info at all) I decided to jump in. After playing Overwatch way past my bed time last night, I can confirm that this is an outstanding piece of kit. It feels fantastic in your hand. Definitely on the larger side, and the top bumper button can be a little awkward to use, due to how the controller sits in your hand. But the criticism stops there. There are a multitude of buttons to mess about with, and apart from the top bumper, they are all easily accessible. I have had zero connectivity problems and no lag whatsoever. I can't stress enough how great this set up feels. you will need a gaming mouse with additional buttons however.. There aren't enough on the Fragchuck to replace an entire keyboard. Also, as stated in another review (which is how I learned about it) there is a motion controlled 'G' button. Simply flick your wrist to use it. This is an excellent way to squeeze in an extra function. I would 100000000000% recommend this to any console gamers looking to take the jump, and any PC gamer fullstop! Why would you NOT opt for a stick to move? I buy A lot of rubbish, and I can honestly say, this may be my favourite purchase of the year. Well done! *this is based on a few hours usage, and therefore doesn't apply to durability or life span of the controller. I will update if I have any issues, but I'm pretty sure it will be fine. ** UPDATE 2 - Months down the line now. Still working just fine and still swear by it :)

This is junk. If you want to get away from the keyboard for WASD movement DO NOT BUY THIS. All the buttons are mushy with no precision activation. For a thumbstick to replace keystrokes there is far too much movement for fine controls. This will give you an RSI, just because something is curvy does not make it ergonomic. The design and manufacture of this product has not changed for over 10 years!! Splitfish are an exceptionally lazy company with very poor customer care and product support, not something I ever thought I would say about a German company. Some people maybe happy with this, just because they have an alternative to keyboard movement but that is the only thing it does. This is not for any kind of competitive gaming and will cause you way more problems than you had with a keyboard. This product is CHEAP in every way, lifeless, mushy, inaccurate buttons and a useless analogue stick, all put together in a cheap plastic shell. I cannot stress this enough, DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME. I wouldn't even be happy buying this for a tenner. Buy a Razer Tarterus V2

When people are talking about "keyboard and mouse" being better for gaming, I'm pretty sure they're just talking about the mouse. I like the accuracy of the mouse, but I find keyboard a bit boring. You can't really move, and I can't stay comfortable stuck to a desk. I was a bit skeptical when first looking at this, but once I had it all set-up. . . it's been awesome. Between the buttons on the Fragchuck, and the extra buttons on my mouse, I have no problems getting everything where I need it. All in intuitive places and reactive movements. My favourite surprise was setting up the "G" button, and assigning it to "melee". That means a no-buttons-needed flick of the wrist to activate melee, and yeah it's very quick, and very effective in FPS online. Runs on single AA battery, and they say "more than 50h playing time", & "more than 500h powersaver standby". Well, I can only guess, but I'd say I got minimum 80h play time, and roughly 50h of leaving it on while I go do something else - I didn't know went into standby until writing this - before changing the battery for the first and only time so far, just a week ago. Very impressed with that. Functionally, an easy 5 stars. Cons: - Looks well-used and a bit grubby, from the very first time you touch it. - It's quite expensive, but then there are no competitors to compare it with. - If you have a simple mouse (no additional buttons) it will seem more like a 7/10 product. Don't get me wrong, they've really made the most of your left hand controls (and then some), but some controls really need to be activated with the right hand to be the most efficient and practical.. I'm using a Logitech G502 which gives me three thumb controls, and two additional index finger buttons, as well as the standard three (left, right and wheel). I would 100% buy another FragChuck if this one was lost/broken. What would be cool to see in the future: - Plastics similar to new Dualshock 4 used. - Move the frag button and give us a third usable bumper. - Slight price drop.

J'ai commandé ce produit car avec le LOGITECH G13 j'avais des fourmis qui apparaissaient rapidement au pouce puis à la main lorsque je jouais aux FPS. Et là que du bonheur, je viens de le tester avec UT3 et c'est le pieds ! Le produit est de bonne finition et semble solide, aucun bruits suspect pour le moment, nécessite une simple pile AA et rien d'autre, car sans fil. On branche la clé USB fournit au PC et on allume la manette et on patiente l'installation du produit ( bien suivre le manuel qui est en anglais ou allemand ). Après une courte calibration dans le jeu, je me suis régalé ! Plus de fourmis ou de crampes ! De plus le produit a une excellente réactivité, pas de lag visible, et offre une nouvelle façon de jouer, plus précise en fait ! Bref c'est cher mais ça en vaux largement son investissement. Foncez !

Das spielen mit der Tastatur ging mir immer auf die Nerven. Ich lehne mich gerne beim zocken zurück. Habe mir immer einen kleinen Joystick für WASD gewünscht. Der FragFX macht genau das. Er simuliert eine Tastatur, braucht keinen Treiber und funktioniert somit bei jedem Spiel. Habe sogar alte Arcade-Spiele wieder rausgekramt. Ein völlig neues Spielgefühl. Er liegt gut in der Hand, reagiert wie er soll und trotz Dauernutzung ist noch die erste Batterie drinn. Bin voll zufrieden, insofern volle Kaufempfehlung.

me ha gustado muchisimo que va muy bien para jugar a juegos de tiros en primera persona, lo he probado en el battlefield 4 y en el counter strike go y va de maravilla, muchisimo mejor que con el teclado . me ha gustado menos , el que es un poco incomodo en la mano , por lo menos al principio , pero segun se va usando , se le va pillando el manejo, y al final encuentras tu postura idonea para cogerlo . al principio es un poco lioso para configurar las teclas en los juegos, pero no es muy complicado , es bastante intuitivo, pero luego vas haciendo pruebas y lo dejas a tu gusto.lo volveria a comprar , prefiero este mando a jugar con el teclado.

Es una basura. El mando no conecta con el dongle en pc. Las luces led no hacen nada, es como si no funcionara. Me mandaron otro dongle pero nada. He seguido y probado todos los tutoriales de internet y nada. Una pena.

Fonctionne parfaitement bien jusqu'ici. les + : Très facile d'utilisation, répond correctement, la house est bien pratique pour ne rien perdre. les - : Ce sont des détails pour perfectionner mais la manette est un peu trop grande pour les petites mains, la croix pourrait être un peu plus grande (ou boutons séparés), joystick de meilleure qualité mais est correct en l'état, plus de bouton aurait été génial mais fait le job. Ccl : Bon produit, bonne alternative au clavier, bonnes perfs, quelques détails peuvent être améliorés mais pour le prix c'est la meilleure solution trouvée sur le net.
