I'm looking for a keyboard and I need it to be USB to connect into my Xbox, cheaper than a chat pad, I was wondering where you could get one from, I've seen one on the Argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002201&langId=-1&searchTerms=COMPUTER+KEYBOARDS) website, £4.99, it has to be a wired one :) Thanks everyone :)

That Argos Value one isn't bad. I own one, and they're fairly comfortable to type on. I'd go for that.

Well I use my current one for my xbox though I have to switch about whenever I do. It's much better than paying £30 for one of those xbox keypad things!

Is the Argos value USB compatible? It probably will be but, just in case :)

I don't think there is a certain compatibility in regards to using a USB with the XBOX360. I reckon it is just a case of if it plugs in, it works!:P

I think he means is it USB rather than a PS2 connection.
The Argos Value £4.99 keyboard is PS2 port, so will not work on your xbox as it's for PC only.
This one; http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6754697/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice,+PCs+and+phones%7C14418 968/Trail/searchtext%3EKEYBOARD.htm
Has both connections, good keyboard.

I bought one from the shop itself (ie, on display in the store) and it was USB.

Or you could buy one of those ps2 to usb adapter things for like a quid and save some money instead of buying a new keyboard all together.

Where can I get a PS2 to USB adapter?Maplins have them in-store I believe?
Amazon, eBay etc all have them online.

Would somewhere likes currys or comet have one? I don't shop online, so eBay and Amazon are out.

Small computer shops tend to stock them
