The Splitfish FragFX Shark Is a Mouse Controller for the Xbox 360

splitfishxbox360controller.jpg

When I look at the Splitfish FragFX Shark controller, I don't even know what to think. There's a mouse with Xbox buttons on the side, a nunchuk-esque 'thingy' that looks like a controller chopped in half and it's all supposed to come together to give a PC feel to games on the 360.

I guess! In the it's-so-crazy-it-might-work line of ideas, it could very well be the bridge between PC gaming (with a mouse) and console gaming (with a controller) that gamers have long looked for. The FragFX Shark has been available for the PS3 but now that it's finally out on the console king of FPS games, I might actually use it this time around.

Splitfish, the company behind it, bills the FragFX Shark 360 as the "world's first super precision mouse hybrid gaming controller for Xbox 360". On the mouse, there's the XYAB of the 360 controller located right near your thumb. On the nunchuk, there's a d-pad, analog stick and trigger buttons. The whole setup works wirelessly via the USB dongle. The FragFX Shark 360 is suppose to be customizable, lag-free (it uses 2.4GHz wireless) and last 50 hours on two AA batteries. Works with Xbox 360, PC and Mac. The PS3 version cost $90, but pricing for the 360 version has yet to be announced.

Those buttons on the side of the mouse look hideous. Seriously looks like something that belongs on a children's toy. Actually, not even then, because they look like they would break or fall off if you dropped the damn thing.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
