Yeah, I saw that in another thread...

Now all you have to do is combine it with a mouse and FPS gamers will be in heaven....

And another thing...

Is somebody planning games for xbox that would support a keyboard peripheral? M$ seems to think that "keyboard and mouse" are bad words...

Well, this could simply be a USB keyboard. I haven't checked it out, but there IS a keyboard for the development Xboxes, and an example program for using it. If this is simply a USB keyboard hooked up to one of the controller ports, then homebrew development would have something to support.

At the very least, Interact/Datel's tools would support the keyboard, anyhow (ala GameShark2).

Actually, I was thinking more of officially licensed games that supported the keyboard...something like The Typing of the Dead for Dreamcast (of course, DC has an officially licensed keyboard...) But maybe some innovative homebrew developers will come up with something creative.

I agree with Ichijouji...if you could use it to type out song titles it will pay for itself quickly!

Well, I made a simple USB port for the Xbox.... the Silicon Graphics USB Keyboard I use on the PS2 works great on the Xbox with the keyboard sample program (with a "quake-style" console that lets you type in commands)

I'll have to test it out for other things as well.

Very Slick!
