The Xbox 360 has USB ports, right? Anyone try hooking up a USB keyboard to it? Ya know for typing in text messages?
Saw this article on Gamespot: We also asked Chris Satchell, the General Manager of XNA at Microsoft if we could possibly connect a USB keyboard to the 360. He told us that, “we will allow you to plug in a USB keyboard. It’s very useful for the text entry. What we’re not enabling it for, we’re not enabling it for gameplay.” So the keyboard is a go for text entry, but a no-go for game control.
Yep… my basic USB keyboard works – makes me wonder if the Remote Keyboard for MCE would work, too.
It doesn’t at least not for text – some of the ‘transport’ controls work, but not the main QWERTY section – really irritating!
