Post by **o'dium** » Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:20 am

Ladies and gents, its offical now.. I present the new 360 keyboard:

(yeah you can plug a keyboard in USB but meh!)

You are in no way forced to "buy" this any more than you are forced to be a £6 million sports car. Its there, if you want it. If not, make do with the USB keyboard (Any work for messaging) or just use the damn virtual keyboard.

Looks exactly like a 360 controller with keyboard on it.. thus is looks comfy to me.

I wont buy one, simply because the usb keyboard works great. But awesome idea for people with less space

err, theres clearly a jack at the bottom, much like the original controller has

id rather have this thing (eyboard) be wireless than having to plug it in my controller. that way it can jsut lay around and i can turn it on whenever i need it, instead of getting up and clicking it in and whatnot

Wrong

The original jack on the 360 is pad is the same, but not quite. It has a couple of sticky-ouyty bits to it, which clearly this doesn't have:

So if I am an asscunt, it is not possible for anybody else to be one? I see. This poses a problem.
