I have one of these for the xbox and it works great. You have to have a wireless headset to chat when you are using it though. For the PS3 try the Fragenstein mouse. Also works well.

i plugged a microsoft (ms) mouse and ms keyboard but i can only write names,texts. i tried halo 3, didn't work,not surprised. back to controllers

Yeah, it's basically just for Xbox Live...otherwise it serves virtually zero purpose.

Sniper a lot of people still don't know that you can use a usb keyboard with a 360 so if nothing else the instructable served the purpose of bringing this undocumented fact to light.

 Excluding community location, it actually was kind of pointless considering anyone smart enough to even use an Xbox should be smart enough to plug in a USB keyboard. My point is, it -should- suffice to simply say "virtually any USB keyboard, wired or wireless, will work on the Xbox 360, even when connected to the rear, and even when said keyboard happens to be a combination set."

Besides...not to be rude but I actually had a bit of trouble figuring out what the guy who wrote this guide was saying and a couple of sentences still elude me at points... making this guide...really was just over-complicating something that was best said in the most concise manner possible.

I'm not being mean...I'm just saying...Sniper kind of does have a point...

Yes indeed, it was worth posting for those who didn't know.

 Since you pretty much said that the progess is plug'n'play. Was an instructable necessary?

really????? i seriously never realized i could use my pc keyboard with my 360...i have my pc right next to my xbox and messaging on the 360 is annoying.

[cyrozap]

You can use a KVM switch so you can switch the keyboard between the PC and the Xbox.

I've noticed you can boot up your 360 by pushing any key on the keyboard, Noticed it when my cat walked on the keyboard on the floor and my xbox turned on

Do I understand this correctly as "plug it in"? (or am I missing something?) L
