(More customer reviews)OK, this is one of those "love it or hate it' products.
I did a lot of research before buying the XFPS 360 PRO. I read lot's of forums and feedbacks so I would know what I was getting into.
Now that I got one my overall impression has been positive. I experience very little lag. As far as the 'dead spot' I'm able to get very close to my target then use the STRAFE keys to line up the shot. It's true you can't do micro movement targeting, but for me it's worth the trade off compared to targeting with a controller.
I imagine a lot of complaints stem from using mouse and/or keyboards that aren't entirely compatible. I've found using a high-accurate optical mouse works good. I personally use the Logitech LX3. I also use a standard PS/2 keyboard. (from an old dell computer)
When using the XFPS 360 PRO I'll turn the sensitivity dials all the way up then use the games' sensitivity levels to find my ideal settings. For me this got rid of a lot of the lag. It's worth mentioning that I've found the lag will change with different games.
I think most people are forgetting that this thing is for emulating thumbstick movement and that the games were not designed for use with a mouse. I was impressed that it sensed both fast and semi-slow movements. You can see the XFPS PRO in action on youTube by searching for 'XFPS'.
My biggest complaint is the overall price. By the time you're done setting this up your going to spend close to $200. You will need a 'wired' 360 controller (a wireless one will not work), an optical mouse, keyboard, and the XFPS 360 PRO. Add and extra $50-$60 for a wireless headset if you want to talk on XBOX LIVE.
I justified the price by comparing it to having to buy a new video card for my computer. I would have to spend $400-$500 on a decent card that's only going to last 12-14 months. Consoles have a shelf life of around 5 years.
My second biggest complaint is the lack of service from the manufacturer. They don't have a decent list of compatible products and the instructions for setting it up are a bit shady. If I hadn't read posts and seen videos about it I might have been lost.
I showed the setup to a hardcore PC gamer friend of mine and he liked it. So much he questioned dropping $600 on an Nvidia 8800GTX he bought recently.
Bottom line I'm giving this product 4 out 5 stars. While it's got quirks it has improved my gameplay of FPS on a console by leaps and bounds. It's too bad it costs so much!
