Ideal for use with all FPS titles such as Call of Duty and Halo seriesAllows gamers to use PS2's Dual-Shock 2TM controller on the Xbox 360 TMThe latest revision of XFPS 3.0 Sniper which offers even greater sensitivity, precision and smoothness,
Just because you're on the 360 doesn't mean you're not using a keyboard mouse
It wouldn't be balanced for people playing FPS games with a controller. You would basically need a mouse to compete.
I would love to see mouse support on the 360 but I can't see it happening through Microsoft. There is this, but it is 3rd party.
You can use a keyboard and mouse to play xbox 360 games. There's an adapter you can buy.

The XBox controller is HID class just a bit obfuscated, I'm sure you could work out a way to get keyboards and mice to work.
Third-party hardware enabling mouse support for FPS titles isn't exactly new; accessories like this have existed for quite awhile already. They never really caught on due to the high cost (which this new device will likely suffer from as well due to the $90 price tag) and the fact that it still doesn't allow perfect mouse movement for FPS due to the way that the console games are coded.
You are correct, there is certainly a large sports games market, as well as single player games like the FF series, but even those folks mostly got their 360s with Halo or CoD or BF3 and I bet the large majority of their online players play an FPS. That's why the adapter is a POS hack device by a 3rd party manufacturer, if MS wanted to release a proper adapter they could in a second, they know what it would do to their core audience that buys the gold memberships every month.
but couldn't I also connect my keyboard and mouse to the xbox using this?
Pseudo solutions like that are nothing but a scam, read the reviews on this thing for x360 for example:

I have yet to see something that works precisely and reliably. (I can already see the input lag in the video you linked.)
Everyone here claiming that a mouse and keyboard would make console games unfair are wrong. What they need to do is add keyboard and mouse officially to even the playing field. Like most things, reality is different then perception. Why?
Because you can use a keyboard and mouse with any game on consoles. I do....

I have both. Sorry to tell you but, if someone wants to use a keyboard and mouse on a console, you can't stop them. That really awesome guy you played with who kicked your ass online? He was probably using an XFPS Sniper. It works great, It's just like using a mouse and keyboard on the PC but with some games you get auto aiming!
All of these arguments are just bickering and bullshit. People have and do use keyboards and mice on consoles. Happens all the time.
Of course I'm so far down in the comments that no one will probably see this, but everyone arguing against KBM are 100% wrong, MS and Sony just need to make it official, they can't stop it anyways......
