Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander Controller Compatibility?

[Zefmirrorman]

Hi! Is there any chance of using the old Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander Controller with a PS4???

It would be nice to be able to use one of the best ever mouse like Gamer, controller ever made!!

we got little info from internet about your mouse.
does it need a special driver on PC?
what is the DPI for this mouse?
have your tried it with Cross Hair ?

Actually it´s more like a Joystick/mouse/and programmable key input gadget...

If you spend some time looking information for it on Internet you l l see it was discontinued several years ago, an it was one of the best solutions for playing strategic 3d games and even 1st person shooting games...

Now can be used on Windows 7 to 10 and Linux, using an open source driver called Strategic Engine (only).

DPI resolution?? Unknown... Never tried it with Cross Hair..and honestly I would not know hot what to consider it... Mouse?? Game Controller? Keyboard???

things are different from PC. while playing a fps game on consoles you will need a high DPI mouse.

since it's an realy old mouse, i do believe its dpi will be only 400 or 800 or 1000 the best.
but using it with Cross Hair，5000 dpi or above is recommended.
so even if we have it working, the result will not be a good one.

On the post http://www.reasnow.com/forum/index.php?topic=27.msg33#msg33 says that g100s mouse is supported but it has only 2500 dpi. So.. works well or I need to buy a mouse with 5000 dpi?

5000dpi will be the best, but it also depends on which game you are playing.

thanks for reply.

I bought Razer Krait (6400 dpi) and I hope that it works well

sounds great! 6400 dpi should be enough for most of the games!
