Mouse and KB on 360 not all it's cracked up to be

It looks like the XFPS mouse and keyboard adapter for the 360 isn't very good after all. It's good as a Dual Shock adapter though. (demo version).

Now for the test. We used three games: Gears of War (duh), Halo 2, and Rainbow Six 3: VegasGears of War did not work well at all with the XFPS. Foregoing accuracy for now, let's focus on one thing: Gears was designed from the ground up as a 360 title. For instance, the "roadie run" uses the A button, which requires you to take your thumb off the right stick. To compensate for this, rotation control moves to the left stick during the roadie run. If you're using a keyboard however, you're stuck holding down a key and manipulating the WASD keys. It's awkward and in no way superior to a pad. Things like this make playing Gears a chore. Halo 2 played the best of the three games. It seems like the default keyboard layout was designed with Halo 2 in mind. Again though, issues pop up. For example, you won't be sneaking much, because keyboards have no analog support. Vegas, again, has similar issues.
