No, because the games do not support the devices. The things linked above will only add ports.

Im pretty sure it also makes the 360 think that the mouse and the keyboard is a controller. So if if you use the things linked above it will work.

actually it does work, the chip inside the periphial shows the xbox 360 that the keyboard and mouse are actually a controler, the bad side is that you cant customize your bottons

The XFPS thing works to some degree. It remaps controller actions to keys on the keyboard. EVERY review I've read has said that it's pretty much useless. The mouse movement is very imprecise. It's pretty much just useful for using a DualShock controller on the 360.

Wait for something better to come out, imo.

Probably getting your wish. Check this out; it's a fresh new solution in the works:

http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/...ZydKYYaemj.php

It's called Xim360.. Quite pricy, but someone's bound to buy it and review the thing. Bit of work to install, but really it's not too difficult. Hopefully this one won't crash and burn.
