The hole for the headset looks different.

True. I' d expect that to change though.

This is only going to annoy people who have been clamoring for keyboard/mouse support.

I personally would care less as long as theres a 180 degree turn button. As long as it has that then i' ll be happy

Looks difficult to use.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I' d rather see support for a keyboard and mouse

I think it would be better if they would just make a mini keyboard that could fit in the spot you would put a headset, instead of making a controller out of it

But then they can' t sell you a whole new mini keyboard/controller combo

I would have no use for this personally, other than entering profile names into games easier.

So the 360 doesn' t let you use a mouse/keyboard outside of games? I always thought it did.

Dumbest thing I' ve ever seen. Why not just buy any usb keyboard. I use a 12$ keyboard for my 360 and it works just fine. I usually don' t need it but whenever I need to type a message I use the keyboard.

Considering where my fingers go on a normal controller, I' m not sure how comfortable this is going to be for long periods. However, it could open up opportunities for controlling more in depth rpgs or rts games however a la PC.

Yup, you can get a usb keyboard and mouse pretty cheep


EDIT: My bad Ghost, i didnt see your post there

Disgusting.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

How it nauseates me!

Indented Exclaimy Words!

You got it. Nine darrah, EB games, U-Esh-B keyboad FTW. I hate typing on crappy little hand cramping jobbies that they put in cells, why would I bother with that thing?

Why would you waste money on this?

I will waist money on it, just because it will give me another controller along with a keyboard for IMs. I guess it really depends how much it cost. If its the same as a regular wireless then i' ll get it but i wont pay more than $10 more than the regular controller itself.

I just realized it was an add-on and not a whole new controller. It still looks dumb. I have human sized fingers. I think most of us do.

Yes! I want it now

I have rather large fingers, so when i try to type on this thing im going to hit like 5 different keys


... I wonder if this means their going to make it to were you can surf the web on the 360 with it.

People complaining about the size of it.... Do you guys have mammoth sized phones then? Oh really?

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

No. But I don' t try to type long messages on my phone and it' d be really annoying to try.

I would never text with a cell phone, infact I don' t even have a cell phone. I hate the fucking things.

Besides, a keyboard is not comparable with a cell phone or this accessory. I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs I want to be able to use all of them when I type, not just my thumbs.

It' s easier to put the controller down and type my sentence in 3 seconds on a real keyboard then to spend 20 seconds typing it out on this jerkoff controller add-on. Unless a game has keyboard support with functions that I can map to a single button press.

That' s just me though.

Majik, where did you get those pics?

They couldn' t charge more than $29.99 for that... could they?

Common sense and decency says no, but after all, these are the guys who have 20GB HD' s priced at $80, 120GB HD' s at $180, and wireless adapters for $100. So, going at that rate of markup I wouldn' t be surprised to see this at $40 or $50. Though, $30 would still be too much IMO.

Are you serious? They can be anoying at times but I would find it hard to live without one. If I left the house without my mobile I would have to go back and get it.



I' m still not convinced about the add on. It looks like a pain in the arse to use.

Damn right. If I have already have a phone at home there' s no fucking way I' m buying a second phone just so I can talk to people when I' m busy. If you get me talking about cellphones you would get the mother of all rants from me. I won' t even start, I' ll spare your lives because I' m too tired. All I have to say is that cell phones are like getting vaccinated. If everyone around has it, you won' t ever need it.

The only reason I would get a cell phone is to hack it, in order to pick up police signals. Here' s a video showing you how to do this:

You see, when I' m at college I' m away from home alot and so I need a mobile to keep in touch with people. Well I suppose another reason is that we Irish like to talk alot and I mean alot!

I think this is a great little device!!

Definately trumps the Wiimote for inputing text.

Never text with a cellphone? Get a PDA phone with a slideout QWERTY keyboard - I did. Its almost as easy as typing on a keyboard!

I dont think it would be that much since the headset is only $20. I think at the most it will probably go for $30, but my estimate is $20

Cellphone --> T9
You don' t even have to write the whole word. Beats anything else I know.
