I just got a Mad Catz Fps Pro, I needed a second ps3 pad and I got it for £20 in a deal (£30 rrp I believe).
In some games it acts weirdly and in Dust 514 it simply doesn't work. In Killzone 3 menu selection is difficult because the controller causes the menu's to "spaz out" and scroll left or right indefinetely.
In dust 514 I cannot control my character, he "stutters" and its the same for the view control. I have tested with my dual shock 3 and the game works perfectly with the dual shock.
In most games the controller works perfectly, as in battlefield 3, battlefield 1943, tekken tag tournament 2 and gran turismo 5.
However in more than a handful of games it acts oddly such as the killzone 3 issue, I have only experienced the controller not working altogether in dust 514. And as I understand it that game is in beta so it may be that third party controller support is not implemented yet...or something.
I tried searching for other people with problems with this pad but I couldn't find anyone with a malfunctioning pad in the way I've described. Is it possible I have a faulty pad as thats my thinking at the moment. In the games where it works perfectly the pad feels great, in battlefield 3 and gran turismo 5 for example.
tldr : my mad catz fps pro doesnt work properly/doesnt work at all in dust 514. anyone have some suggestions or do I just have a faulty pad, should I get another fps pro? Suggest a decent third party alternative to the dual shock 3 as the rrp of the DS3 is a bit much imo.
Thanks guys
