To y'all bringing up keyboard and mice...

If you're serious enough about FPS gaming to go K&M, why wouldn't you play the PC version instead? OK, PCs can be more expensive than consoles, but if that's your big reason, it means you're not that serious about it after all...

More importantly, perhaps, is how exactly would you go about using the K&M for fast paced action on a console? I'm picturing a PS360 in the living room and you in front of your 40" TV... and K&M just isn't a match for this environment.

I mean... Will you borrow your old PC K&M with their 3ft cords? Or will you buy Bluetooth ones (and are those even fast enough for gaming)? Will you just sit on the couch with the keyboard on your lap and the mouse on a pad by your side? Or will you lie uncomfortably on the floor looking up at your TV? I dunno... Maybe sit on the floor and give some use to that 1ft tall coffee table? I'm sorry, but none of these options sound anywhere close to ideal (or even comfortable at all) for someone serious enough about FPS gaming to deliberately use K&M on a console.

I can see (wireless) keyboards and mice being useful for web browsing and chatting, or even for some slow paced strategy games and stuff like that. You can still sit comfortably and just use them on your lap, like you'd use a laptop or something. But that's not what I'd use for competitive "I will not get pwned just 'cause I'm on a console" FPS play.
