The lights are on
CronusMax, a new accessory, will let you use a keyboard and mouse or an Xbox 360 controller with the Xbox One. If you're particularly daring, it will even let you use Sony controllers.
According to Eurogamer, the CronusMax opens up the Xbox One to use of the DualShock 3, DualShock 4, Wii Pro Controller, keyboard and mouse, and the Xbox 360 controller.
The Team Xecutor say they made the unit to aid those who were attached to a heavily modded 360 controller or preferred a keyboard and mouse configuration.
Correction: Earlier I wrote that this was a "mod" and my colleague Jason Oestreicher informed me that this is not the case. All the software is on the USB dongle itself, nothing installs on the Xbox One system. You just configure it on a PC, then plug it in to "spoof" and Xbox One controller. At that point, any supported controller or peripheral that you set up can be plugged into the Xbox One via the dongle.

Our Take:[This has been changed, see my correction above.] I don't have many complaints about the way they operate normally. I love the Xbox One controller and prefer it to the Xbox 360's (getting rid of that "battery bump" on the back was a great design choice), so I'll be skipping this. Still, for some of the more competitive FPS players out there, this is an option.
i still havnt touched hxbxne controller yet but i bet the battery bump ein gone could only be an improvment lol
that's awesome
They seriously need to make a PS4 version... like, NOW!
SO you can use the 360 controller but none of the games?
This is awesome. Since i got my 360 back in 2010 i have hated the controller. Been a PC guy since 7. Played halo on OG Xbox and 360 and it always felt weird. Hated bungie for never releasing 3 on PC but w/e. I even disliking driving games, 3ps games with the controller. Doesnt feel right. Give me a mouse and keyboard and ill actually play Forza. Hell i might even buy Halo and destiny uncomfortable. My Blackwidow and Auroboros are ready for this. My PCs are getting old and ive been considering an Xbox one instead of getting a new PC. IF this works with zero latency issues, the Xbox one is a done deal.
Using methods of control other than my favorite kind? Pah! What kind of lame-Os use those methods? I'll tell you! Lame-Os!
That's pretty awesome, I wonder if there are other kinds of mods that make other systems compatible with other controllers.
