“…On the other hand, using PC controls, participants in previous research averaged between 23 and 28 hits per minute [2,4], which is comparable to the 28.1 hits per minute observed with our participants. The difference in scores with the Xbox 360 controller may be due to prior participant experience.…”

“…Based on the figures in previous research using Penguin Hunt, the average number of hits per minute using the Xbox 360 controller was between 13 and 18 [2,4], lower than our average of 21.7. On the other hand, using PC controls, participants in previous research averaged between 23 and 28 hits per minute [2,4], which is comparable to the 28.1 hits per minute observed with our participants.…”

“…The developers of the software reported that the angular rotation velocity was 270 degrees per second, following the Xbox version of Halo. Following the instructions of the Xbox controller programming manual, the displacement-velocity transfer curve was cubed [4]. For the trackball controller condition, the left analog stick was used for movement, and the right trigger for shooting, exactly like in the standard controller condition.…”

We present a study of user performance in a First Person Shooter game comparing a prototype trackball controller, a standard game controller, and a keyboard and mouse. The prototype controller replaces the right analog stick of a standard game controller (used for pointing and camera control) with a trackball. To measure the performance of the three input devices, participants played two games. Penguin Hunt measured the number of target hits per minute, which was 28.1 with the keyboard and mouse, 22.9 with the trackball controller, and 21.7 with the standard controller. Modern Warfare measured average completion times, which were 26.8 s with the keyboard and mouse, 31.8 s with the trackball controller and 35.5 s with the standard controller. The trackball controller represents a 5.5% target hits increase over the standard controller in Penguin Hunt, and a 10.4% speed-up in trial completion time in Modern Warfare.
