Keyboard and Mouse on PS3

[sj33]

Just want to confirm, on a PS3, can I use a keyboard and mouse to play FPS games? Namely the Call of Duty games.

Some friends want me to buy Call of Duty 4/5 (and Modern Warfare 2, eventually) and play it with them, but I really can't play FPS's on pad.

Thanks.

Neither of the COD games do

That's... quite a big problem. Do any FPS's support it?

EDIT - I just read that there's some kind of adaptor - does anyone know where to get it?

Unreal Tournament 3 supports it. Cant think of any others. You need to be careful with those adaptors. Mapping the analogue stick movement to the mouse doesn't always work too well due to look acceleration and such. Don't know if that would affect cod games though.

Yup, UT3 is the only one. Some others let you do a screengrab to XMB by pressing printscreen

There's one on renchi but it's stupidly expensive:

At that price I reckon I could learn to make do with a pad and save the cash!!

Damn I can play FPS's on pad, but I can't get used to the non-existant ability to react in any decent amount of time =/ I'd go PC if it wasn't for the fact that my housemates want to play together. Ah well.

Just suck it up and play on pad like they are
