Forums - Nintendo - USB keyboards now usable on the Wii?

20 year olds acting like they know everything and swearing all they want over the mic is almost as annoying as 12 year olds. At least you can bash 12 year olds for being punks and having crackly voices. And then when they start blaring crappy techno over the mic, that's when you mute them...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

That means leo-j can't play Motorstorm online? Well, that sucks.

On-topic: Confirmed to work with el cheapo PS/2toUSB adapted with a 10 years old Acer keyboard. (Message board and shop channel)



Kwaad, you are one strange little man. Your rant post came out of nowhere and made very little sense. It's just so... Kwaad like.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Bro are you serious? A 4 year old can get on motorstorm online, its rated T, resistance is rated M and I play it everyday, you see 20 year olds sayin Bitch WTF!! Ama slice ur neck or watever and I just report them , then they get blocked from resistance for a week, all there voice commands are heard over at whoever manages the servers, and it proves they said something bad. I'd play motorstorm online if I had it, but I dont, kwaad is just messin wit yah, anyone can get online with motorstorm.

Yeah I completely agree.  Both groups are annoying.

In other news, lol @ leo-j disproving Kwaad's point.

No, I wasn't   



Does Trust keyboards work on the WII? I've found one, which says it can work on the PS/2. Directly plug and play via windows. So I assume no drivers are needed to make the thing work. Dropped in price from about 45USD to 25USD.

I've been hearing good reports about Logitec keyboards. My dell keyboard is a rebadged Logitec too.

And they work with PS3 as well if you know by any chance? Is yours wireless with USB wireless connection in the WII?


 Sorry for the late reply to this, I completely missed it. No idea if it works with a PS3. It is a bluetooth USB dongle. It works outside of Windows even at the BIOS level, which implies to me that as far as any PC/Console is concerned, all that is connected is a USB keyboard and not a dongle.



** bump **

I picked up a wireless kb today for the Wii - and I can't get it to work :(
Sort of surprised - its a "MS Wireless Optical Desktop 700".

I found a compatibility page on Wikipedia, which lists the "...1000" & "...2000" as both working. I figure the guts of the connection are the same, so mine should work as well (tried on PC and it works).

Anyone have any ideas? Tried both USB ports, tried turning Wii off/on, tried Memo, Shopping Channel, syncing, kb a few times, etc.

(may see if I can pick up a cheap, wired USB kb tomorrow - hate to think my Wii is broken... again :P).

Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:

Game Assessment website

Wii code: 2263 4706 2910 1099

Wii is backward compatible with Gamecube.
So, the gamecube keyboard should work for Wii.
I don't have GC keyboard, so, I can't test it out.
