Just ordered Xbone Chatpad.

Going to test this on my PC. My plan is to plug it into my controller and bind game keys that I don't have enough buttons for. I want to try this as an alternative to a steam controller.

 

I will set it up so that a button the chatpad switches the controls, so I can switch my left stick to mouse controls among other things. 

 

It could also make other games easier, the Witcher for example, if I want to get my inventory, instead of pausing and selecting the section, I can just press the I key. 

 

Is anyone else interested in this? I'll make a new topic reviewing it once I get it. If I can't bind keys to the chatpad, I'll keep it anyway, I always have my chatpad attached to my 360 remote. 

 

Here's a link to the chatpad:http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/communications/chatpad

the gamepad COULD actually be a game changer, since you can now basically controll your whole PC, IF microsoft finally adds cursor support to the controller.

The problem with this seems to be that its hard to get a good compfortable grip of the controller, since the place where your supposed to hold is blocked by a keyboard

This was never a problem for me when using the 360 one. It's just a matter of preference really. But who knows how the Xbone pad will feel/work

I really didn't like the one on the 360 but my wife swore by it. I was much quicker with the t9 old school text input option.

Ooooo, i've always liked the chatpad.

 

Makes it really comfortable, typing on it is also fairly nice; well at least for the Xbox 360...

 

Can't wait. I love that it's supported on Windows.

Yeah, I sold my 360 chatpad after I learned it only works with a wired 360 remote

Hopefully this will work with the wireless adapter this time around!
