*All Slim Xbox360 Console support coming in a firmware update
X360Key is able to:
- Emulate (mimic with accuracy) the Xbox 360 DVD drive
 - Read USB hard drives and other USB storage media devices with various file systems
 - Update itself and other hardware from attached USB storage media
 - Communicate with the X360Key remote and other external USB devices
 - A lot more in the future! (embedded Web server and Wifi connectivity for example)
 
The X360Key remote is a simple, stylish device that features an OLED display and 3 buttons. It is used outside the Xbox 360 console and connects to the X360Key main/motherboard inside the console via a high speed USB 2 connection. The remote also has a USB port that is used to connect USB hard drives and other storage devices to load games from. The OLED display and buttons are used to control various aspects of the X360Key and for browsing the attached USB storage media devices and launching games.
How it works:
The X360Key device consists of 2 parts, a motherboard and a remote.
The motherboard connects to the SATA port/bus inside the Xbox 360 console and then to the Xbox 360 DVD drive. TheX360Key is in essence a fully fledged computer running embedded Linux. The fact the X360Key is a powerful Linux computer allows it much greater flexibility and the opportunity to implement features X360Key are just not possible via the flashing of DVD drive firmware due to the DVD drive chip’s limited capacity and speed.
