I love Lik-Sang. Now they've created means for you to use a keyboard and mouse on your Xbox.

Umm... Halo 2 anyone?

The mouse lets you pop bullets pretty much where you want.

Having said that, on games like UT2004, where M&K is the standard, the people move so much quicker and are much harder to hit.

Depends on the game. Halo for me is joypad, but Vietcong, Flashpoint, Quake and Half Life are mouse and keyboard. Beginning to prefer m&k though.

Although you're more or less right there, Pandaemonium, I had loads of trouble trying to play Halo on PC. I just wasn't as good as I am on Xbox. I think you just get used to certain control styles when playing on a pad that once you try another method, it just doesn't feel 'right'.

I wouldn't mind trying this new gadget out, but I can't really be bothered unplugging my k/b and mouse from my PC every time I want to use them on the Xbox.

keyboard and mouse sucks until you master it (it's like playing the drums).

After that, you can never go back to a controller for FPS. I played through "Halo" at Lights house. I had to wrestle with the controls some of the time.

Pc keyboard and mouse? I can turn 180 almost instantly with a quick flick of the wrist and track targets smoothly.

Cool! But can you imagine 16 nerds playing Halo system link deathmatches with one each?

I dont like the Keyboard and Mouse, I prefer a controller because they vibrate (shut it...) when you shoot and stuff.

Aye, it's so natural to press a button on a board :P

I've used keyboard and mouse on PC/Dreamcast and I have to say I preferred the controllers.

Keyboard + Mouse is the best FPS combination by far. It's just so much more accurate, easy to use and much more natural.

It's obvious you've never properly used the combination then.
