    Hi,

    I am just wondering if it is possible to use a keyboard and mouse for the xbox360?.. I have heard there are adapters..

    Has anyone tried it yet? Would give such a Huge advantage in online games like gears of war etc..

    A usb keyboard can be used whenever you would otherwise be using the on-screen keyboard without any need for additional widgets.

    No I mean instead of the controller for actual gaming..

    Theres quite a few xbox 360 tourneys and I am pretty sure I could do very well in them if I had a keyboard and mouse..

    And that is one of the reasons that there is no keyboard and mouse support for most games,if any.

    A KB/Mouse combo would be excellent for games like C+C though

    It would indeed. Before I played C&C on the Xbox I was worried how it would be to control. After half an hour it's natural.

    As to the OP would it be fun getting an advantage over other players because of your hardware? Sounds kind of boring to me.

    if your willing to pay... http://www.xcm.cc/ - last item on the page. I dunno if there has been others made or if it just these guys making it. I remember a review ages ago where they said the control was a little stiff compared to mouse/kb on a pc. I spose if ya google round you'll get an answer.

    just seen this one, looks like they fixed some dead zone problems with number 1.
