Well, I recently got myself an Xbox 360 ChatPad/Messenger Kit and I have to say, its pretty great. From what I had heard it was terrible, but I just have to disagree with that. Some people said that you cant play games with it plugged in because its awkward, now, its fine for me, but I’m sure it all depends on how exactly you hold your controller. Another thing people mentioned is how when you have it in, you need a certain headset, well, I don’t find it too bad as it comes with that headset, and its basically a regular headset without the two little pieces of plastic jutting out of it. Another complaint was about the size of the buttons, and I have to say, there is NO reason to complain about them, “Oh, they’re too small” people say, the buttons are bigger than the buttons on a mobile phone, and I’m sure anyone with and Xbox 360 probably has a mobile phone too.

The way the keys are mapped is quite ingenious too, you’ve got your standard qwerty keypad, then a shift button, an orange button, a green button, a messenger button, two arrow keys a backspace button and a backspace button. I’m sure your all aware of what the shift, arrows and backspace buttons are for so I need not explain those to you. But the green and orange ones may need explaining. They kind of act as 2ndF( 2nd Function) buttons, for example, pressing green then shift will activate cap locks.
