From memory you need some third-party drivers for the PS3 Eye to work on PC. Have you installed anything like that? FT won't work with it otherwise (again, from memory).

Yes, FT works well. The reason I switched to TrackIR was that whilst FT worked well under specific conditions it did not handle changing light intensities well. I was constantly having to change the settings to get it working at different times of day, even with SH485 LEDs and the webcam correctly filtered.

TrackIR 5 just works without the hassle.
