This $150 device lets you play Xbox and PlayStation games with a keyboard and mouse

I simply don't get the same level of accuracy and control with a console controller as I do with the good ol' fashioned keyboard and mouse. As a result, I stank at my favorite games when I played them on consoles, so I mostly play on my PC and reserve my Xbox One for "FIFA."
