Controller only or would you switch to Keyboard/Mouse adapter?
« on: October 04, 2007, 11:33:50 AM »
They aren't out there yet, but I know there will be a usb adapter for the xbox 360. Nobody can deny the superiority to using a keyboard/mouse config, so who would be sucked into it? I think it sucks to be able to have each on the same game. A mouse is hard to beat in FPS accuracy. However, I cannot say at this point how good the reaction time will be with an adapter. If it's great, then look out. It's not fair!

Psh. No contest. Nothing will beat the controller itself. It is contoured for you hands to destroy the masses.
Hide and you will be found, hunt and you will find.

There is an adapter out there actually. I own one, I don't really use it though because it is hard to use a mouse/kb on the couch compared to the setup of a desk and a computer. While by no means is this "adapter" official, it still works. I haven't even tried it with halo 3, but it did work with rainbow six. I want to be able to perhaps one day compete in some Halo 3 tourneys, so why bother using the adapter that wouldn't be supported in any contest.

I would bet $100 on someone using a KB vs the controller; You can really perfect your aiming on the mouse much more, leading to much greater accuracy IMO.

That is so great! Thanks for posting that link, I didn't know that existed. I agree with you and the tourney bit. It does suck though not knowing if you got your ass kicked on xb live from some guy using one of these. But again, I appreciate the link, I'll get one!! j/k....I think!

I like controllers more. I use to play some cs source, and the keyboard was pretty fast. But I play on the "insane" sensitivity setting anyway, so it makes little difference.

Using mouse+k/b on consul games = stupid

Don't waist your money trying to uneven the playing field.
