While there have been keyboards and mice for various consoles (and 360 supports keyboards for messages etc), we're not allowed to offer them as an in game control method (there are long and boring sets of rules, set by the console manufacturer, that games have to meet before they can be released. One of them is that mouse and keyboard is for menus + text entry only, it cannot be used as an in game control method).

There have been unofficial boxes of tricks that allow you to connect a mouse and keyboard and use them in game, but they work by pretending to be a pad anyway... So you still can't turn any faster than you can with a pad, and that's the main problem for me. It does help make fine aiming quicker and easier though.
