so do they work?  I can't tell by the pics, and if so will I just need one USB to x-box converter since you can use a PS2 keyboard and mouse and hook both up to one converter that converts the 2 PS2 plugs to one USB?

If you are talking about the USB ports I installed on the back of my XBOX yes they do work and they are much nicer then using converters.

dont hold me to it but, because those adapters have to comply with the usb keyb/mous hid rules, it should be no different dont you think? if your comps bios supports usb keybs, a good test i would think is to get one, plug it into you comp and see if you can press "del" to get into setup when your comp starts, if it does then its acts like a standard hub with a generic usb keyb and mouse.  make sure you r bios supports usb keyb in the first place though.  myne does and its like 4 years old so.

just ideas not facts though so...
