hey all ive been a console and pc gamer and im at a point I can only get one, I really love the console system, friends lists, ease of use, price, etc, but I just hate the controllers, at least for fps I feel like im playing with gloves on.

anways if consoles had mice and keyboard support for all games I would be there. my question is has anyone used the xim, is there lag,does it work well, I know xim is expensive but so is a new pc, so overall if xim was perfection I just might go console.

I do belive game makers are moving more twards consoles I don't know if its pirates or just ease of developing but it seems more and more titles are not coming to pc. like destiny .. .

i know the ps3 supports both a mouse and keyboard in some games. the ps4 likely does as well but i havent looked into it at all.

every other game besides shooters however isnt going to benefit.

i know playstation supports kb+m without xim. but for xb not sure.

a pc is more powerful than a console at the same budget level but you are correct pc doesnt get all games. however with steam becoming so large you might begin to see more and more games. your choice.

there might be some compatibility issues with some games but overall it should work ok. I have used it however personally I would get a pc over a console anytime as I have perfect emulators for every console released sooo yeah its your choice.

edit: what he/she said VVV
