I'm suprised that the reviewer did not catch the fact that the notching on the memory card slot will not allow the XBox Live Communicator Module to fit.  I was able to get it to work by taking the back side off of the module.  This is a major complaint of mine, as well as simply not being able to reprogram the configurations.  When I ordered my device, my original order was for the SmartJoy Frag, not this.  The company, Console Corner, changed the order 'for me' and I ended up waiting several months to get this somewhat inferior product.  It doesn't have the breakaway connection, as advertised.  I also observed a small delay between my mouse movements and what went through to the box, which was very annoying.  I normally love using a KB+mouse combo and hate the controller, but I'll be ditching this setup for my S-controller.

...apologies the first pre-retail batch is lacking inline release, the final retail version will have inline release and the Xbox live head phone slot is to be exactly the same as a Xbox controller as well.

I've had ongoing discussions with Team Xtender/Farmer and I think their next revision will please if they do everything suggested.

Time will tell.

Thanks for the replies people.. and the pm's. I enjoy writing the reviews and with the response I get from them I'll continue to do so.

Please, please, please let the MagicBox producers know that there are old-school players out there whom prefer to use mouse2 to move forward.  The smartJoy team is either ignoring us, or just not answering our calls at the moment.

If you wish, show them the following forums to see how many people there are who need this sort of feature.  I'll certainly buy the fist one to let me use my mouse to move!

I'll pass that info along later tonight.

People might want to post product wish lists here so that any other decent ideas can get incorporated before the pump out another.

i've tried 2 different mice, one usb and one standard ps2, sometimes the mouse just stops responding mid game and i have to pull out the xfps and replug it in....VERY annoying.
