Hi all,
I'm in the process of transitioning over to PC gaming, yes thanks for the applause
😉

I will have my gaming PC hooked up to my main TV, steambox-esque and I'll be gaming from my sofa.

The majority of games I play will be single player, of which mostly support Xbox 360 controls natively. I will however be occasionally online gaming, BF4 for instance. What peripheral solutions are available which offer the accuracy and speed of a mouse, which are wireless, easy to store, etc.

I've done some research and looked at the fragnstein http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002IVF5MC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1400441679&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

Frag fx2, etc. But haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Can anyone offer some advice/recommendations?
 
Solution
if you want mouse accuracy then you need to use a mouse. as for movement... you could use analog stick but keyboard is likely better.

if you want to use analog sticks then i'd use a ps3 or xb controller in the games which support it.

i suggest a pull up table and a wireless keyboard and mouse set. like a large version (wider) of this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7BSmYyFT5lU/TcK-LULztnI/AAAAAAAAGG0/5_ebW5mHccU/s640/crate+and+barrel+c+shaped+accent+side+table.jpg or perhaps the kind which sits over your lap and sits on the sofa.

Thanks for the responses, it's odd that there aren't many solutions for this situation. Especially considering the increasing popularity of steam boxes.

Will have to wait to see how the steam controller performs in comparison to keyboard and mouse.
