WinuaeX - Keyboard & mouse?

Zeewolf · 01 August 2006, 19:06

I've spent the last 3 hours looking online to see if I can get an usb keyboard and mouse for my xbox.

Through google, I've managed to find 3 items that sound like that they could fit the bill, they are as follows:-

Powerboard
Magicbox XFPS
and Smartjoy Frag

But then I read on some sites that some may not work with emulators.

Ive just downloaded the latest version of Winuaex and I have to admit that it is very good compared to one of the very early versions I last tried. All i need now then is to get the mouse and keyboard working and I'll be in gaming heaven.

Please

!!

Many thanks in advance.

i bought logitech elite duo a few years back... prob is only kb seems to work in nearly everything.

prob will occur for a lot of the logitech ones so be careful.

These look like custome adapters, they take PS/2 keyboards/mice and convert to 1 (one) joypad. Their compatibility will be unknown.

Just get two bog standard USB adapters (literally just a different shaped connector) and use any USB keyboard/mouse you like?

Thanks mate. One on order now.

Just one more question, now I'll have one of these adaptors, will I be able to use a wireless usb keyboard and mouse with the adaptor? Are there any limitations?

Thanks again.

no guarantees they'll work, but as long as they appear as 'normal' USB devices (ie: don't need special drivers to be loaded in Windows to be able to use.. umm I think they need to appear/be detected as HID devices (?)) then they should also work on the XBOX. I've got a couple of the 'xbox connector to normal USB connector' cables and they work fine with a MS optical mouse and BENQ USB keyboard.

You will need 2 if you want to use keyboard and mouse.
