  1. 1

    Many, many people have bought this little gadget thinking that the phrase from the developer’s own website, “Chatting with friends and family on Xbox LIVE® and Windows-based PCs is easy using the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit,” implied that it would work on the PC. It does not. I still have to sit there hunched over a keyboard while playing video games.

    If you intend to buy this for your PC use instead opt for the Madcatz add-on to the PS3 controller. It works with a PC.

    This is a nice ideal, but problem is the Xbox 360 already comes with two USB ports. The USB ports can support your average USB keyboard that will do much the same function. I’d honestly save yourself some money and pick yourself up a cheap USB keyboard instead.

    This will revive that memory; Here are my pro’s and cons…

    Pros:

    -it’s a keypad

    -it has a lighted keyboard

    -will work with your MSN or Windows Live messanger

    -it’s a QWERTY style keypad

    Cons:

    -although it’s designed to quickly switch between messaging and gaming, the transition, isn’t so smooth

    -it’s really bulky, making it feel like the original huge XBOX controller

    -the button’s are really spaced out from each other

    -backspace button awkwardly placed

    -the button response is horrible, having the player press the button again

    -difficult to attach/detach

    Conclusion: In Microsoft’s attempt to offer players a messaging add-on, the XBOX 360 Text Input Device disappoints. I would have much rather liked to have seen a Wirless keyboard peripheral that wouldn’t have to attach to my controller. Microsoft expect players to play Halo 3 and message their friends at the same time with this thing.
