Why you you want to play an xbox 360 with a ps2 controller when you have a kickass wireless controller already. If I wanted to play with a keyboard and mouse I would play pc games which I hate because I don't like playing with keyboard and mouse. What is the advantage of playing with a keyboard and mouse?

I wonder how much its going to cost....Id personally love to be able to play certain FPS's w/ a KB/Mouse. I'm curious too see what games are supported though. COD3 would make a good candidate for a KB/Mouse (Well if i can ever get in a ranked match) in my opinion at least, esp since it isn't going to be released for PC

Does it support both USB and PS2 adapter keyboards and mouse?

Is there a switch to switch the keyboard from "play" to "type" mode?  
Or would I have to keep unplugging the keyboard from this to the front USB ports for keyboard typing?

fuck yah!

bout time. can't wait to play all these games i've been missing out on. also can't wait to kill me some whiners that say this will wreck fps's on 360.

it's not the strong that survive. it's the most adaptive that survive.

Excellent question, you'd expect the keyboard to be mapped to the left analog and buttons all the time....  Really though, it's quite rare you would type something in, text messages and naming save files.. nothing critical.

Keyboard.. mouse.. that all good. However.. if this prototype that gets released in december does not support a headset.. it will basically be a peace of garbage for online first/3rd person shooters that we are currently enjoying.

It's not like we have the option of using the MS wireless hetset. It's buggered.. badly. alsmot so much so that I know some game room simply don't allow people to join them anymore if they hear that headset.

So.. Teamxtender.. get your act together.. and make sure by hook or by crook that this XPFS supports the headset.


seems to me that this isn't the first time Xtender has forgotten about/ignored a key segment of the market by NOT properly supporting headsets..

MagicBox XPFS Review (February 9 2005)

This isn't their first time around the block with the XPFS.. technically it's their 3rd.. yet it seem they still miss the point when it comes to first/third person shooters.. that alot of people are playing them because of the social aspect. The ability to pit yourself against REAL people.. and talk and get REAL reactions.. is a major driving force behind current gaming trends..

TeamXtender.. give us Headset support.

This football player already has feet its called a controller, consoles are played with controllers and the last time I checked the Xbox 360 is a console not a pc.

i guess some ppl just don't get it. alot of ppl won't play fps's on consoles cuz of the controller(like me and many others).

...consoles are played with controllers...
