Is it possible to get a keyboard and mouse working for games on the X-Box? i understand you can create an adapter allowing you to use standard USB but is this just for Linux? Im not very hopeful about his idea at all but would like to know as im a bit of a joypad noob and first person shooters are causing me all sorts of trouble, you havnt seen spray and pray till you've seen me with a joypad.
Cheers

Good question, I am sure where there's a will there's a way, but to my knowlegde only Linux will do. I'll look around for some tutorials though.

Well I wasw thinking about putting Linux on anyway but I wouldnt be running games on Linux would I? Im assuming Linux has software to allow you to use a keyboard and mouse. Even with the correct adaptors I would need to use 2 ports on the xbox which isnt going to really work as it would think that your playing 2 player instead of combining the keyboard and mouse.

hi Munk,
No Official XBOX keyboard has been released so i can say for SURE that NO XBOX GAMES SUPPORT A KEYBOARD!
I have used my USB ADAPTER and keyboard on my xbox with64 emulator, evox dash, mediax dash/menu and other homebrew apps and the keyboard works a treat..
Ive only ever gotten the mouse to work in XBOX LINUX
Thanx for the replies, i best get some serious joypad practice in so im not still noobin about shooting ceilings when Doom III comes out.
