does a keyboard and mouse work for xbox360?

Considering you don't even have your Xbox yet, have you actually properly played with a Gamepad for any length of time?
It strikes me as though you are more concerned about Kill Death Ratios than actually just playing games for fun, which the gamepad is more than good enough to do.
If you really want to play games with a keyboard, then you are best sticking with a PC. It defeats the whole point of having a console in your sitting room, with a large tv that you can play without wires, yet a keyboard and mouse is just stupid on that kind of setup.

Technically not true. The game designer has no say, as the KB and mouse are locked out by the console, the Forza team disclosed this when people were requesting why there was no support for G25s and such. It's MS and their stupid licensed chip that NEEDS to be inside a controller for it to work with the 360. The Fanatec wheel only exists apparently due to the influence of Porsche themselves pulling a few strings and persuading MS to let them do a premium wheel. If a licensed KB and Mouse combo came out with the chip in, all would be fair, but MS won;t allow it no doubt. To distance the platform from the PC.
I don't consider it cheating, but I wouldn't pay that much just to play an FPS on a console, that is cheaper and has KB and Mouse support on the PC...
And if you don't tell anyone you are on a KB and mouse no one will be laughing at you.
you can spot it instantly on kill cams on MW2
Only if you suck imo.
Oh look, a cheat who can't play with a pad.
Oh look a cheat who hacked his modern warfare rank for max unlocks
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
I thought the reason keyboard and mouses weren't allowed on the 360 was to give a level playing field with everyone that plays?
if K+M were allowed on there then eventually you'd split Live into 2 groups, people with and people without and that just seems stupid tbh and kinda defeats the whole point in paying for an online multiplayer service where you are limited in what games you can join (not physically limited, but more limited in that "whats the point in playing a FPS on a pad against a K+M as you'll pretty much always loose and have tards shouting abuse at you for even trying cos your not as l33t as them for not using a K+M")
IMO K+M is cheating on a console designed to give a level playing field with regards to input devices and you should accept that you WILL have to get used to a pad if you decide to buy said console. If you can't accept that then don't bother

It's certainly one reason. If there was ever to be an keyboard and a mouse, then you know Microsoft would do it themselves... we know their keyboard & mouse hardware is pretty good! The fact that they have never done so in the 360s life shows that its not something they are at all interested in seeing on the console.
The fact that everyone is on a level playing field is one of the things I've always liked since I stopped PC Gaming. It's no longer about how much money you've spent to upgrade your machine.
It's really down to player skill and provided your internet connection isn't getting hammered... plus a nice big tv has its advantages too.

Shut up. Loads people use them now. And the youtube clips suggest they dont own with k+m padders hold their own. People have the right to game with what they feel is comfy. Microsoft just cannot be arsed to implement. XIM3 is going commercial what it take off.

It's lose lose. If you get a kill there will be no satisfaction to be had as you know you had an unfair advantage. You might as well challenge a little girl to a fist fight When you do get killed you get killed knowing you had an unfair advantage and still died.
Just like I don't get people who use aim bots and wallhacks in PC games, I don't get people who use a m&k on consoles. And yes, it's obviously cheating

I feel comfy using aim bots and standby glitching. Do I have the right to do that?
If you seriously think that MS "can't be arsed" then you are monumentally naive.
