So far I've not heard of any USB devices working with the Wii (aside from the Ethernet -> USB adapter, of course). I'm really looking forward to a keyboard though...my prediction is it'll come out alongside the full version of the web browser.

i think if they come out with a keyboard it will be connected to the wiimote, not the usb, but hey thats just my opinion

I'm disappointed that Nintendo will only allow their brand accessories, just like Microsoft. Hopefully, they won't overprice their accessories like Microsoft. (i.e $100 wifi adapter, $60 wireless headset) They both should mimic Sony in this area.

Maybe Nintendo could do an update to allow 3rd party use of the usb ports.

Also, I don't see why you couldn't use a DS as a keyboard.

I hope the Wii keyboard will be wireless.

 

[pizzaluvr]

i hope they just give me online play

 

[J-Tizzle]

I tried it with my iPod but it didnt work. Hahah!

 

[wezeles]

they have little things like external fans and lights for decoration and cooling... but that just runs off the usb power not the usb itself...

 

[Phelyx]

I hope that Nintendo doesn't make one of these again.

 

[wezeles]

you can use that on the wii works fine... just not wireless...
