Title: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tondog on April 09, 2007, 01:20:20 PM http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/08/xbox-360-to-get-keyboard-controller-attachment/
[img width=440 height=390]http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/04/qwerty-xbox-360.jpg[/img] Looks...nice? Maybe they should have just put out a full size wireless keyboard instead of that little attachment. Might be good for quick messages, but it would probably get annoying if you were typing out something fairly long. If I owned a 360, I'd just use a USB keyboard instead of that little attachment.

Pudgy fingered gamers will be outraged. Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tynstar on April 09, 2007, 02:59:44 PM Too small for me.
The best keyboard/controller ever is this one. Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tondog on April 09, 2007, 03:11:10 PM That thing is RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME! How long is it?
Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tynstar on April 09, 2007, 03:57:30 PM 18 inches maybe. It really is an awesome controller. I found myself using it for other GameCube games.

It does remind me of the the Jaguar controllers. Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: phoenix1967 on April 10, 2007, 07:43:44 AM That's stupidly small. Pudgy fingered gamers will be outraged. Agreed. Although the keys do look larger than what you'd find on a cell phone with keyboard and/or a blackberry. They should've just made a compatible full-sized keyboard with USB...or even better, a wireless one. Maybe down the road.

Maybe down the road. What do you mean by "compatible"? My wireless keyboard works with the 360. A matching one would make sense.Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: captain_nintendo on April 10, 2007, 07:55:26 AM That 360 contoller attachment doesn't look so hot.
Gamecube ASCII keyboard controller = pure awesomeness!!!! I loved using it for PSO, but even used it for other games.

I've never heard that there's a keyboard already out that works with the 360. Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: James on April 10, 2007, 09:21:07 AM All USB keyboards should work with the 360, but not all wireless ones. I just happen to have a wireless one that works. It's a Belkin. Obviously I have to plug the USB dongle into the console but apart from that I don't have to do anything to get it working.
Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tan on April 10, 2007, 10:25:25 AM Myself I've got a GameShark Sharkboard. It's got an adapter for Xbox/Gamecube/PC/PS2 and has a 8 or 9 foot cord. Good enough for me. 8)
Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Izret101 on April 10, 2007, 10:49:29 AM I dunno i think it looks pretty cool but i agree that a full size keyboard would be better.
Just in time for C&C!!! Title: Re: Microsoft announces new keyboard attachment for 360 controllers Post by: Tynstar on April 10, 2007, 10:59:51 AM I use a wired kb with a USB extension cable on my 360. It is a Dell kb.
