After Unreal Tournament III set the mark for incorporating the keyboard & mouse setup on the PS3, one company is hoping to allow gamers to have this setup as a permanent fixture for any game of their choice.
XCM, the company behind this new peripheral, has announced the release of the XFPS Rateup Adapter for the PS3. This adapter will allow PS3 owners to use a keyboard and mouse instead of the Sixaxis controller to play their games. The peripheral is region free as it will work on all PlayStation 3 models and is compatible with all PlayStation 3 games.

The adapter will also allow the controller's button configuration to be remapped to the user's choice. Seeing as how the adapter is compatible with 95% of different kinds of mouse and keyboards, this especially beneficial for the PC gamer making the transition to the console world. PC gamers will now be able to enjoy "high sensitivity, precision and smoothness" from a platform that was once frowned upon by those same PC gamers.

The only thing of particular concern would be that some games have Sixaxis functionality so it may pose some bit of trouble mapping that same functionality to the mouse/keyboard. No official price or release date has been announced, but stay tuned for any new bit of information that may be coming out about this new peripheral.
