But can't you use a USB Keyboard on the 360 thanks to the May update?

I've been using a wireless usb keyboard on my 360 since I got it....

never had any need for a mouse...

This petition has been up since before the 360 launched almost 2 years ago... with 12 million units sold and only 4,000 signatures, i think you're screwed.

There is no mouse API in the xbox XDK, it would be non trivial to add.

Any games that have already been developed would be left out, think about how a mouse uses absolute cordinates whereas a controller uses relative.

There are technical reasons they won't add it this late in the game. Besides that, MS intentionally left out mouse support. It's not as if they forgot the feature.

No thank you. If I wanted to use a mouse I would play on my computer which I dont do because I hate playing with a mouse and keyboard.

I'm a big fan of using a mouse and keyboard for FPS games. That being said, I DO NOT want mouse and keyboard support on the 360 for gaming.

Why? As soon as that's added, I'd have to hunch over using a mouse and keyboard to be competitive in any online game. I'd no longer be able to sit back with a wireless controller and enjoy a relaxing gaming experience.

Want to use a keyboard and mouse for gaming? Get a gaming PC.
