The keyboard works just like my blackberry, meaning the keys are easy to press and make a nice little noise to signify you hitting them. Looks neat, and you can play with it attached.

Where'd you pick it up? I've been poking around in some stores, but no one has it -- Toys R Us, Best Buy Circuit City, WalMart.

Agreed, why pay $30 just so you an type faster and IM, why not just use voice chat?

That's perfect for me if it works when you're playing games. You see, I have an accent and my 360 is hooked up to the TV in our living room and I just sound silly when I'm talking to the TV. It would be fine if I lived in an English speaking country but I live on a rock in the ocean where everyone speaks vikingish. This is my Xbox 360 related dream come true.

I got it the day it was released and I love it. I can type just as fast on it as I can on astandard keyboard.

Another top notch product for the Xbox 360.

I picked it up. It works well with Messenger and with the 360's native virtual keyboard. It doesn't seem to work at all with other virtual keyboards, though, like the one in PSU. It find it odd becuase my USB keyboard is totally functional (if impracticable) in that game. I was hopeful the chatpad would replace any need for a USB keyboard. I wonder if future updates will correct this?
