This sucks man.  Anyone playing with a controller is not gonna want to play against someone with a mouse.  Keep the PC gamers on PC's.  I hope there's some way for MS to block this on Live.

Screw that!  Microsoft wants to connect PC gamers and concole gamers.  Remember Shadowrun?  That's going to be the first crossover title coming to the 360 and its a good thing.

I want one now!  XCM needs to hurry up and get that on the market.  I already have their high speed cooler, which I am very happy with.

That looks real slick. I'd like to use my dual shock on the xbox.

Except awaiting the inevitable "KBM VS Gamepad" argument. Which always turns into who's cock is bigger instead of actually arguing a damn thing.

I really wish they would've added a headset port on the adapter so you could use some of the good PS2 controllers for games like SF2 on XBLA and still be able to voice communicate, I would buy one if it was still possible to use a headset and the adapter

uhhh, just use a wireless headset.

I don't see what the issue is here about KB/M vs. Controller. There was a KB/M adapter for the original Xbox, I didn't see anyone complaining about that...

Looks kinda ghetto but i'll probably get one if the price is right.

Maybe some modders can gut this thing and stick the ports on the xbox 360, that would look sweet if done right.

I hope they don't fuck this one up like every other keyboard/mouse adapter on the original Xbox.  Please, PLEASE, PLEASE let us map ANY button to any keyboard key or mouse button!  This INCLUDES moveforward to Mouse2 (Right Mouse Button).  I'm sick of missing out on FPS games that only come out on consoles because I can't use my keyboard/mouse (and my control settings that I prefer) to play.  

Anyone know how to contact XCM and ask them to test mapping movement keys to the mouse buttons?  

-Duck!

Haha, i love when a mod is boosting his post count, thats awesome.

Now to the point of the topic, i really think this is a stupid, people are just gunna cry about unfair advantages (mouse + keyboard), even tho i personally would buy one of these just for the ps2 support (my favorite controller of all controllers).

Anyone concerned about it being unfair for 360 controller users over Live, this was inevidibly going to happen anyway with Live Anywhere. Besides, this will open up interesting competition between controller/kbm over Live which will be very interesting, and kbm control over Live wont be limited to cross-platform games like Shadowrun on the PC. I don't think that experienced 360 controller users will be majorly disadvantaged, they just might be amazed (or annoyed) at the ultra accuracy of certain kbm players on their favourite FPS Live Games  biggrin.gif

Personally I can't wait for this.

I hope tis time we will be able to program the device to change which keyboard keys are mapped to the controller buttons... Also a compatibility with the Xbox1 would have been nice... Or even be able to use Xbox1 controllers with the 360 could have been cool!

pretty sure the adapter  for the keyboard mouse combo is just emulating a controller i don't see a real advantage for anyone using it. but it's still a cool product i want to get my tony hawk on with a dual shock

Anyone who believes this doesn't give people an advantage in games like Halo 2/3 is a moron, the mouse is 10 times more versatile compared to the Joystick.  In an FPS this makes all the difference.  I just hope it will be un-usable on XBL, for FPS games at least.  unsure.gif

This brings up the question... can I use an Xbox to PS2 converter and plug the converter into the controller??? Hence using an Xbox Controller on a 360... don't see any reason why this wouldn't work biggrin.gif

I just think, if you like playing games with the keyboard and mouse, play on the pc.  If you like the controller, play console.  The two worlds should never be mixed in online gaming.  But that's me.  I'm not too happy with live right now anyway.  Finding GOW games is a pain.  I wish every game used Halo 2's matchmaking system. It's far superior to any other Live setup.

There is enough auto-aim available for people who use controllers.

Also, people with a widescreen monitor have a small advantage in most FPS, because of a wider FOV. Should they also be forbidden? Should higher resolutions be forbidden, because they make you see further in the distance?

All you people bitching about mouse and  keyboards. Use a mouse keyboard combo yourself! Learn to use if you dont know how.

In battle one should use every advantage against his enemy / oponent.


Anyone know if you can use xbox to ps2 adapter and plug into this to use original xbox controller on 360? I want to use original in halo on 360.


That is all its early morning late night.

Quick point before you all cum in your pants.  these devices are shit!  there unacurate slow to respond, it feels nothing like useing KaM with a PC.

all you little bitchs that are moaning about people having an unfair advantage on live aint got a single thing to worry about.

to all the suckers who a choping at the bit to get one of these, dont bother you'll use it once find out how crap it is and put it in cupboard to be forgoten forever.

P.S. if you cant use a pad dont buy a console.

I bought a Mouse/Keyboard adapter for the Xbox and the mouse movements was really sluggish
Title: XCM XFPS 360 Prototype Pictures
Post by: BigFattee on November 25, 2006, 06:16:00 PM
xfps will not be as precise as using key/mouse on a pc game. it will feel sluggish compared to pc, but it still should be very usable. especially when you set the look sensitivity in game to max. kinda like the smartjoy frag on xbox1.

for the longest time i would only play racing games on the xbox1(same thing on 360 now) cuz i couldn't get used to the controller with fps games....too many years of pc gaming i guess. when smartjoy frag came out, i got it right away. i loved that thing cuz i could finally play so many games i missed out on. i feel the same way with the xfps.

thing is, i don't like to lose or get my ass kicked every time i play any game. without a key/mouse, i could fumble around for awhile with a controller but i would always get owned and give up in frustration. i need a key/mouse for 360 fps's. without that, i just wouldn't play them.

it's not a fair argument to say a key/mouse compared to a controller on a 360 would be just as much of a advantage as using a key/mouse compared to a controller on a pc game. a controller on a pc fps game would be no competition(no matter how "used to it" sombody is). but a console is so different. when i used a key/mouse on xbox1, i really don't think i had an advantage over others. i never dominated, i just competed and had fun. i wouldn't quit cuz i was frustrated. i know there are people that will dominate with a key/mouse on 360, but there will be more people that dominate with a controller. so many people are already so comfortable using a controller. on a console, i think a key/mouse is a great thing cuz it will bring so many more people to the games. it will raise the competition level.

i can't wait for the xfps to be released. 1st thing i'm gonna do is buy gears of war, call of duty 3, and rainbow six:vegas. then i can finally start my love affair all over again with my 360.
