Xbox 360 Messenger Kit

The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit offers a convenient solution for text entry on the Xbox 360 Console. It can be used for various purposes such as instant messaging, searching on Xbox Live, entering game codes, and even typing in the Netflix and YouTube search boxes. The keyboard is versatile and can be used for cheat codes and other typing requirements. While the kit does not work with Xbox One controllers and is specifically designed for the Xbox 360 controller, it does come with a headset. The original headset with volume and mute controls cannot be used with the chatpad, hence the inclusion of a compatible headset. The compatibility with MMO games like FFXIV may vary, but in general, the chatpad allows players to type in the chatbox to communicate with other players. It is worth noting that some games provide an on-screen keyboard as an alternative. One of the advantages of the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit is that it does not require batteries. It connects directly to the controller and draws power from either the controller's battery or the Xbox Console. In terms of customer feedback, the reception of the product is mixed. Some users have found it to be a great addition to their Xbox controller, saving them time and enhancing their gaming experience. Others have encountered issues such as receiving the item without proper packaging, missing components like the headset, and compatibility problems with non-Microsoft branded controllers. Some customers have also experienced the chatpad malfunctioning after a short period of use. Overall, the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit offers a practical solution for text entry on the Xbox 360 Console. However, potential buyers should be cautious about compatibility issues and potential shortcomings in the packaging and included components.
