Title: X-Box adaptors for 360? Post by: Azazel on May 13, 2006, 11:00:50 AM ok, so there's at least a year by my guessing until the 360 is actually worthwhile for me to buy, but when it eventually does happen, I'd really like to be able to continue using my arcade joysticks and driving wheel on the new one.
So I'm wondering if there are currently any adaptors that let you use the older ones on the new machine? I'd assume there would be, since it's just USB, right? But then again Lik-Sang doesn't seem to have any adaptors, which is odd, since those wacky Chinese quickly go nuts on the 3rd party accessory bandwagon.\ So.. what's the dealio?

Mice, keyboards, usb data keys (read only), USB lavalamps, fans, USB drives (read only) all work. However standard USB joysticks and wheels do not, driver issue. Bummer for sure as i have a Saitek x3something stick and throttle i'd like to get working but all my efforts are in vain afaik.

Title: Re: X-Box adaptors for 360? Post by: Trippy on May 14, 2006, 05:00:27 AM The USB inputs on the Xbox 360 use the standard "flat" USB connector and not the "mini" connector you sometimes see if that's what you are asking.
