Use USB Keyboard with Wii

Sat, Oct 13, 2007

Wii Keyboard The latest firmware update for your Nintendo Wii enables the ability to utilize a USB keyboard with your Wii console. Although that doesn’t really effect your game playing, it does effect the Wii’s ability to take over as a media center. If your Wii is connected to the internet this update should automatically download or prompt you to do so.

Being able to use a keyboard and surf the internet with the Wii Opera Browser makes for some good entertainment. Imagine entertaining your friends with YouTube videos via your Wii and on your living room TV! The USB ports for the Nintendo Wii are on the back, but with a long wired keyboard, or *gasp* wireless setup you could be on your way to living large.
