Before requesting this product for review, I had seen a plethora of posts on various console forums about this device along with the similar ones for the Original Xbox. Many people were interested in the device as they have come from a PC user / Gamer background and therefore are already well attuned to wielding a mouse and keyboard in combat.

The people more familar with console gaming didn't seem to mind the joypad for first person shooters and actually saw any attempt to use a keyboard and mouse as 'cheating' since most PC gamers say that the keyboard and mouse combination is more accurate and intuitive.

No problem

I just realised that theres a sneaky advantage that I didnt think about til now with this product.

If you have a keyboard with programable macro's that are stored onboard the actual keyboard you could have an advantage in games where you need to do a complicated move. Such as fireballs in Street Fighter or a perfect reload in Gears of War.

I have a few other different console products for review coming up later by the way
