Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the most part I really like the APEX. I have been waiting a long time to be able to play with a mouse and keyboard on my xbox so I was pretty excited when I saw this was coming out. Couple of things to watch out for though. I'm a glass half empty kind of guy so let me give you the critique. Don't buy the amazon promo gaming keyboard and mouse with all the lights, it won't work with the APEX. If it has too big of a power draw you will have to have a separate power source for the usb hub. This is not a plug and play device but I also don't have to write script for it. This is something in between. Its a new device so support is a little bit slow I have had to go on their website site and dig through their forums more than once to make it work. There are videos for the initial setup and list of supported games on their website. Make sure you look at these before buying to make sure this is the product for you. Once you get it setup though it works without a hitch until they run a firmware patch. I haven't tried it but it is supposed to support wireless and wand devices. If you want to be on headset you are going to be wired, no way around it. You use the headset from you controller and the controller has to be wired into the APEX. There are a lot of wires once you get everything plugged in. I still play on the TV in my living room so it can be a little overwhelming. All that being said I'm pretty happy with it. There is no latency that I can detect. There is enough control input to allow you to setup your configuration the way you want it without being so complex you get totally lost. Most important, I finally get to stop trying to do precision aiming with my thumbs(seriously who ever thought that was a good idea never understood ergonomics). glhf
