Mouse/Keyboard Coming To XBox360 Via 3rd Party

This is totally sweet news! For those of you out there like me that can't stand joysticks for FPS style games, this is a Godsend!

Quote:
For those of who who don't know the XIM, read on. XIM started as an enhancement for the XFPS. Anyone who has used the XFPS regardless of which edition knows that no matter what you do it just doesn't offer the same experience. The guy behind the project, OBsIV found that it was possible with the combination of additional hardware and a special piece of software that you could create a much more accurate experience with the mouse and keyboard in games like COD4 and Halo 3. But, this experience wasn't quite as good as it could be due to the limitations in the hardware that the XIM used. So he went back to the drawing board and created a piece of hardware and new software that could deliver the experience that you've always hoped to get with a mouse and keyboard on a console, appropriately named XIM2.
They say this will hit the market in the next few weeks. Let me tell you, if I can play 360 titles on a mouse and keyboard, I'll be pretty frickin' stoked. I absolutely suck at the gamepad and would love to have a chance against all the damn brats out there that only use consoles in games like Gears of War. Meddling kids!

I'm doing this already with an XIM. It's awesome, but takes mucho tweaking for every game. Hopefully this fixes a lot of that.

This is great for console FPS - I prefer joysticks/gamepads for other genres myself.

Whats the point in owning a console if your going to use a keyboard and mouse? Oh thats right PC gaming is on its deathbed.
