    okay so I was thinking about getting this for my 360, can you imagine sniping people with it?!! you would be a beast, of course its like cheating and controllers have some benefits, but i dont really care about that.

    what I want to know from you guys is, where can I get one, and how much $$?
    do you think it would work/be reliable?
    feel free to discuss the pro's and con's of this vs. 360 controller[​IMG]

    I believe this is fake
    There is no cursor for the 360, it wouldn't make sense to have a mouse.
    Also you can already use Keyboards with the 360.

    i personally would rather the controller. but sniping with the mouse is really easy. i am known for my long range in halo 3 and i will do anything to improve that so im considering this for myself. i dont know any prices myself. + reps for finding this

    nah uh, cuz in this the mouse is acting as the RIGHT thumbstick, the one you use for aiming, and you would use the keyboard to navigate dashboard/menus

    Sure that would make sense if there was no scroll wheel or the buttons on the side, the back/forward buttons.
    I guess it MIGHT be possible if this is not an MS official device though.

    EDIT: Just did a google search, looks nice. Found these two links:
    Connect a Mouse and Keyboard to Your Xbox 360 - Xbox
    Gadgets: XCM Brings PC-style Gaming to Your 360

    It's still in prototype stage, so not yet for sale I believe =]
    Also, not only can you plug in a usb or non-usb mouse/keyboard and a Playstation control xD

    Hmm. But you see the buttons on the top of the thingy? Those are used for configuring the controls, so you can set left click = right trigger etc.

    If you had nothing set for scroll button click, it just wouldnt do anything.

    Maybe that's because you're just better than them.

    People are either better with Mouse/Keyboard or Controller. It's just down to what you prefer.
    I think I was better with a mouse and keyboard when I played Halo:CE online, but it's been so long.

    The best thing about using a mouse is you can spin around really fast but also aim accurately with small movements. I'd buy it.

    It could possibly make forging a little easier to do.

    It works, but I don't like it. It's not as responsive or as fast as a normal controller.

    This isn't fake, my friend has one, and its alright...
    I personally didn't do that great with it because the sensitivity is goofy....
