when xbmc loaded first i got the numlock light on and the optical light on the mouse.. but i get no response in xbmc..
i tried different ports and when i plugged it in port #2 i get capslock and some other light on. i move the mouse and the volume starts adjusting.. i hit keys on the keyboard... the space acts as enter and the up,down, left, right, works... so im like, ok cool
i try to edit text in xbmc, and nothing...
so i go and try other dashes and other apps.. such as linksboks, still get no mouse pointer(but mouse works, i can click and apps exit) and the keys on the keyboard dont act like letters and numbers.
do i have to map the keys?
i read that someone else got a pointer.... no mouse and keyboard in xebian also

I have a keyboard and a mouse, both USB, pluged into controller ports 3 and 4. (Ghetto usb mod i did years back) Both works brilliant.

i tried a strait up ps/2 keyboard and it got the same response as the usb keyboard with the usb-->ps2 adaptor..
since im getting the same response in all dashboards/apps im thinking it may be something to do with either bios or box ver. lemme see what the hardware forums say..

What i would do is to try and skip the adapter you are using and hook up a xbox->usb connector (what are they, $5?) and try again.
i checked hardware.. and everything there is showing me FPS emulation.. no matter weather usb or ps/2
but yea.. im gonna find a xbox--> usb adaptor and see what that outcome is. may have something to do with the voltage that the input devices operate at

Thus, it'll act like the controller. Many of the keys on the keyboard will therefore do nothing.
If you want true keyboard + mouse support, you'll need a USB -> xbox convertor as DDay says. I have no idea whether a PS/2 keyboard will work via a PS/2 -> USB convertor (if these even exist).

The adapter you purchased allows a keyboard and mouse to emulate the CONTROLLER.
