Jess Ragan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Is it possible to connect a USB keyboard to the Wii? I've got a Sharkboard in my collection which I've thought about using, but if it won't work (either through the USB or GameCube port) it's probably not worth the trouble of digging out of my big box of orphaned peripherals.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 short answer = "no". At least, not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 No. But hopefully nintendo will jump on this obvious oversite real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 So stupid how these consoles put standard ports on them and can't even write the simplest of drivers (mouse and keyboards are nothing special to do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 No, not at all. Heck, even the Xbox 360 (as proprietary as it is) can recognize USB keyboards! I think it's ridiculous that Nintendo would go to all the trouble of including USB ports on a game system that will never use them. C'mon, guys, use a little common sense!

CPUWIZ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 So stupid how these consoles put standard ports on them and can't even write the simplest of drivers (mouse and keyboards are nothing special to do). You mean "that console", right? My 360 and PS3 work just fine with a keyboard, in fact I have a wireless keyboard/mouse combo on one. I also hope Nintendo will address this, it should be a no-brainer for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
