"We are now excited to say that we have answered that request with a perfect PC gaming solution: Laser Mouse 6000. Equipped with a thin, flexible cord for the feeling of wireless, gaming-specific software features, advanced laser technology and more, Laser Mouse 6000 will take gaming to a whole new level."

-- Xbox 360 Controller for Windows: $44.95 (U.S.) Add Comment Omali 09.06.2005 09:47 hot stuff Omali 09.06.2005 09:51 actually that would be ridiculous if MS makes all the hardcore ppl who buy the premiun package buy the wired controller that does not come with the bundle to connect with XP. hopefully the Play & Change kit will serve the function or connecting it with PCs skooby 09.06.2005 10:34 It would be awesome if the mouse worked on the 360... DROOL! Logistically speaking though this is hard to pull off, since balancing mi on my lap in my family room... Unregistered - RAVEN SLAYER 09.06.2005 10:57 Why would you want a mouse for the XBOX 360 are you one of those people who lives in their mom's basement and plays on the computer all day long. Real gamers don't need a mouse and keyboard they just need a controller!!! Unregistered - VEGETA SSJ4 09.06.2005 11:01 DUDE I HEARD UR MOM IS HOT. I AGREE WITH THAT ,FAG, RAVEN WHY WOULD YOU NEED A MOUSE AND A KEYBOARD. THATS WHAT LOSERS USE. Unregistered - ROBOCOP 09.06.2005 11:01 HEY IF I HAD A BASEMENT I WOULD HAVE 16 XBOXS,16 30" TVS, AND 4 GAMELINKS. Omali 09.06.2005 11:10 i dont think MS should go the Sony route and allow mouse/keyboard use for the 360. its so much easier to shoot somebody in the face in an FPS with a mouse, thus giving those ppl an unfair advantage. why unfair? because to be evenly matched in terms of hardware u have to go out and buy more accessories to not get owned online skooby 09.06.2005 11:13 Anyone who knows anything about anything know that those that use Mice for controlling FPS wipe the floor with controller noobies. :) Please refrain from profanity... Unregistered - AWESOME 09.06.2005 11:18 COOL! Omali 09.06.2005 11:38 skooby i acknowledge that mice are more accurate for FPS, but these are CONSOLES not PCs so if ne thing people that want a M/KB for the 360 is the noob who cant use the controller like everybody else and needs an unfair advantage to win Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.06.2005 11:57 this website is good but microsoft suck and so do u all Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.06.2005 11:59 it has 2 rabbits and more apples bigjoe4 09.06.2005 12:22 Yeah, they hav aswell Unregistered - Anonymous 09.06.2005 13:21 All we would need is seperate servers with filters for seperate control styles(i.s ONLY mouse or ONLY controllers).Simple fix,and everyone can be happy.Everyone knows that FPS are way more precise and superior with mouse and keyboard. Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.07.2005 01:25 When I first heard about the mouse and keyboard thing I thought it was about time they came out with one, the PS3's coming out with one too but then I started thinking about it....now I kind of wonder what direction console gamimg's heading,consoles will just end up another pc in the home when all we really need is controllers, good games and out standing graphics. assjacket 09.07.2005 17:21 I'm pretty sure i heard it said that the keyboard would only be used for typing, not controlling anything in games. And like some else said a simple filter for controller types would fix any problems. assjacket 09.07.2005 18:17 somebody* else Add Comment |
