This is the most amazing thing I have seen today.

M+K on the 360 Console without any Mods!

+ 500 to Blood Drunk for pointing this out.

from what I heard in the flood, it doesn't require modding your xbox 360 to use.

I didn't say it did, but who do you think managed to do this? I will give you a hint, it wasn't a 12-year old kid who plays Halo 2 on xbox live beyond their bed time.

Your right, and nor do I want to. You see "12-year old kid" and think I'm talking to you. And in truth, I wasn't.

Let there be CHAOS!

Last time I checked, threads on using a mouse and keyboard on a 360 were not considered to be "Halo 1 & 2 For PC." Please refrain from posting off-topic threads in this particular forum.

Isn't this what PC gamers always wanted? To show console gamers that M+K > Controller?

It's the hard heart that kills...

No modding required.

However, before you plunk down $80 for this thing, here's my experience with it:

It has no dead-zone adjustment. None.

The lag on the input through the adapter makes it really difficult to aim accurately and largely impossible to snipe.

It acts squirrelly with some mice.

It has no capability to store more than one set of custom button mappings other than the default factory settings. (So, if you wanted to used your XFPS adapter for Gears of War, you'd have to remap the custom settings, overwriting what you'd previously set up.)

Overall, the old FragJoy adapter for the original Xbox blows that XFPS adapter away totally. Is it better for folks like me who absotively, posilutely cannot frackin' play with a console gamepad? Yeah. But, if you play well with the gamepad already, the XFPS ain't going to help you any.

They wouldn't need the auto-aim to begin with. :)

But yeah, this is old.

A controller is a handicap all the way around.

FWIW and caveat emptor:

The XFPS 360 mouse/KB adapter is now out in a new version, the "XFPS 360 Pro," which does have adjustment of the X-Y axes w/ 2 scrolling wheels.

From my experience with another M&K adapter (Max Shooter for the Xbox) I have to say I have really, really low expectations for this device. After hours of tweaking deadzones, sensitivities for the adapter, in-game sensitivity, mouse sensitivity and then doing it all over again with another mouse I've concluded that the adaptor I used did not provide anywhere near what I expected from the rave reviews it received and I bet this this will be no different.

I agree; the reviews of all the adapters have been a bit overblown. I had somewhat of a better experience with the original SmartJoy Frag thingie for the old Xbox:

It wasn't ideal, but, holy cow, it was better than playing with the controller for me. FWIW, I bought the new FPS Pro & will post a follow-up in the Xbox 360 halo 2 forum once I get a chance to use the new adapter.
