this is (IMHO) a rather clever little development for 360 gamers, ok not quite sure about the messenger thing tho (think microsoft are clutching at a few straws to try to keep 360ers from switching to the blackbox (PS3), what i'm getting at is this new keyboard gadget could be used in games rather than have the game automatically remember codes or passwords, the onus would be on the gamer to remember (or write down) to input when necessary. microsoft is trying to make the 360 a bit more of an interactive console, more or less trying to create a souped up gaming PC. what next then for our 360's, a flight-stick for aviation games?? a new combo mouse/keyboard style controller. Come on developers we want quality games not tacky gizmos.
