Our learning curve was pretty much nonexistent due to our long history in PC gaming... we had the FragFX tuned just the way we'd have it in a PC game...
Our accuracy and precision were immediately improved, especially in situations in which we were tracking a moving target. Whereas analog sticks apply variable acceleration, which makes maintaining a bead on a fast target a bit tricky, the FragFX allowed us to put our reticule on a target's head and maintain it through all kinds of evasive maneuvers.
As we mentioned earlier, the left-stick-dongle has the extra "Frag" button not found on typical PS3 controllers. When depressed, the Frag button slows the mouse movement significantly, a feature we found especially useful in sniping situations. We operated on normal mode when surveying large fields for targets, and then, once acquiring one, we zoomed in close and then held the Frag button to slow the mouse speed so we could take careful aim. It's a rather useful feature and addresses the possible issue of the mouse movement being too sensitive for accurate sniping.
Overall there's no question our gameplay improved in Resistance thanks to the FragFX...
...and is one of the few alternative control options we've tested that has actually given us an advantage in gameplay.
