PSU-XBox 360: Is this new Chatpad thing compatible with PSU?

[toxic_rf]

I assume it is, as it works the same way as a USB keyboard, but I'd rather get word from someone who has one and knows it does/doesn't work for sure.

For those who are thinking "wtf?", Xbox 360 Chatpad. (http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-B4N-00001-Xbox-360-Messenger/dp/B000UN3UDQ) It's like a little keyboard you plug into your controller.

[Esufer]

Can't see why it wouldn't.

I'm just guessing it replaces the USB keyboard functionality.

[toxic_rf]

Cool. I can't see why it wouldn't work either, but I thought I'd throw the doubts out there before spending the money on it.

I may be a keyboard and joypad veteran (been using the combo since PSO on the Dreamcast...), but this looks to be slightly easier, allowing you to keep both hands on the controller while typing. With PSU being a bit faster paced, I like to retain as much control as possible!

[omegatheory]

Yes, it works fine... its a little faster, but not as fast as having a keyboard... just imagine text messaging with your phone... unless you have really tiny fingers, then I guess it could be a keyboard for ya!

[BanF]

I want one, since I keep misplacing my wireless controller when I put it down to type on the USB keyboard >_>

[omegatheory]

I have one... it's pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend it for lengthy conversation use, unless your ok with typos.

mini bump.

any word on compatibility with psu for the chat pad? I don't see why it wouldn't work, just curious about it b4 I take the 30$ plunge.

I picked up a ChatPad yesterday, and the first thing I tried was PSU.

...And it does not work with PSU, at all. It only seems to work with the guide and IM functions of the system, which kinda sucks. :/

Glad I decided to get a keyboard instead of waiting for this to come out. You would have figured it would work but I guess that PSU use wasn't really on the minds of Microsoft so they didn't bother to make it work with it.

[PALRAPPYS]

Oh wow it can't work with PSU? Stupid.

I'll probably still pick one up tonight. But... that is very stupid. Come AoI maybe? *doubts*

[BFGfreak]

Well, there's supposed to be an update for the dashboard on the 10th, who knows, it could incorperate the chatpad for PSU, or maybe Sonic Team will release a patch for it.

[ThEoRy]

[grinds teeth]...

[razkal]

Anyone else try it on their 360PSU?

[Esufer]

Does it work on Halo 2 and such?

that NEEDS keyboard support >_>

[SiGeL]

^ Was one of my beefs after getting used to PSU and a KB. I'd guess not, since you can't use the 360 features while playing an old Xbox game.

[kevington]

I've read on other forums that the chatpad also doesn't work on FFXI. There's a dashboard update coming this week and one of the rumored features is chatpad support. So maybe it'll work on games after that.
