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.

Too small for me.

The best keyboard/controller ever is this one.

18 inches maybe. It really is an awesome controller. I found myself using it for other GameCube games.

Yeah, I was about to say it but you beat me to it.  It does remind me of the the Jaguar controllers.

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.

What do you mean by "compatible"? My wireless keyboard works with the 360. A matching one would make sense.

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.

Really? What's the make and model of your keyboard? I've never heard that there's a keyboard already out that works with the 360.

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.

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.  Cool
