Play Console Games With a Keyboard and Mouse

Posted by Zonk on from the way-it-was-meant-to-be-played dept.

HunterX writes "Lik Sang took the videogame community by storm this weekend by announcing a new entry in its product catalog. The SmartJoy FRAG is an adapter that allows Xbox and PlayStation 2 owners to connect a mouse and a keyboard to the console and replace the standard controller with the well known PC combo that has been the envy of many console gamers for years. TeamXbox.com has more on the story, and there is plenty of commentary on Lik Sang's Forums."

    It plugs into that little tab on the top of the unit...

    Not really the same thing. What this adapter does is take keyboard and mouse inputs and translates them into controler outputs. As far as the console is concerned, it's just another regular controller. You wouldn't be able to use the keyboard to type messages in FFXI if it was attached with this adaptor.
