BroChaos Veteran Posted December 16, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2003 to do what? play games? you can get an adapter to hook a keyboard up, but i think it only works in a game or 2. i dunno really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted December 16, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2003 yeah, what do you expect to do with it? :huh: no game is going to use input from a keyboard... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 You cant use a mouse, keyboard is for pso and action replay mostly, what is the point of using a key board and mouse for xbox anyway, its a console plus if it did work it would be unfair for others.

matt74441 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 You can just buy two XBox controller extension cables, cut off the ends, cut off the ends of your USB keyboard and mouse, and solder the two together. The yellow wire doesn't do anything. I actually play Halo PC with an XBox controller, because its just a USB controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 An adapter like this will allow you to use a keyboard or mouse on your Xbox, however as it has already been mentioned it's use is limited and is mostly for Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 like briandl79 said it's pretty much only good for linux. i say dont bother with it unless you're going to run a linux box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
