The addition of this peripheral will cause an imbalance on XBL, giving keyboard/mouse users an advantage. Considering that the joystick cannot compete with the freedom and ease of movement the mouse/keyboard allows. Chris Roper reviewed this product on IGN, and Douglas Perry(IGN) gave his opinion.

It will give no advantage what so ever. It is just a matter of personal preference. I personally suck at using a mouse and keyboard and prefer a controller.

I just got it the other day, and it works well with Halo1 and Return to castle Wolfenstein. And as far as being an unfair advantage i'd have to agree on a certain level. For sniping its far superior, but upclose with automatic weapons its fairly even with the Xbox controller. Unless you have a desk or other good size table infront of you to put the keyboard and mouse on its gonna be hard to use. How many people have something higher from the ground than a coffee table infront of their tv? Ive been trying to work off of a TV tray and while it works, its not really enough room I'll probably use the Xbox controller for Halo2, the TV tray would be to much trouble considering the amount of time ill be playing Halo2. Plus if i play anywhere else but home i would have to use the controller so i figure i might as well get used to it.
