What's great about it: You can play actual instruments for Rock Band
What's not so great: Needs more inputs
My main complaint is that it does not work if your instrument only has a USB output. So if your keyboard only has a USB output, you will have to either do some extra work to convert it to the midi 5 pin output or buy a different instrument whatever is the cheaper way to go. But, I still gave it a good rating because it doesn't have a large market. Plus, I'm thankful that they came out with it because it works well with the keyboard. I haven't tried the other peripherals quite yet though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price
I got this and opened it last night. I spent 3 hours on Rock Band 3 with my Roland HD-1 drumset. Please note that you will have to make sure the volume on the adapter is turned up. I couldn't calibrate with the game because the sound wasn't up enough and if you make it too high - you'll have errors. Mid-level volume is good.
The sensitivity is perfect - so much better than the old guitar hero drumset I have - because I get to use my own drumset. Very easy to use and this is actually endorsed by Playstation. Have fun!
I would recommend this to a friend!
