 Novel but flawed October 8, 2008
B. Rodgers
The keyboard is quite cool and novel at first, but after a few days the extra weight and bulk it added to the controller got very tiring, and it was a relief to take it out. Pulling it in and out as I needed it then just got to be a nuisance, and although I could type a lot quicker than with the controller, it was still quite limiting. On the whole I found it just got in the way too much and I used a wireless USB keyboard instead. There just seems to be so many reviews about it not getting in the way, I thought so for the first while but it adds a lot of weight and changes the shape and balance of the controller...
 Messenger Kit May 8, 2008

To put it simply, this is an awesome bit of kit. Of course, like all such peripherals of this nature, it is not an essential piece. However, that said, it does make typing so much easier. Okay, so you can use a USB keyboard instead; but seriously, who is going to drag out a keyboard and have it sat at their sides - wire trailing all over the floor - when you can have this little beauty right at your finger tips ;)
If you spend a lot of time typing messages, like me, I can only recommend this...
Enables Quick Messenging March 27, 2008

If you use Xbox to communicate this little gadget makes it a whole load easier to send messenges. Very simple to connect and use.
Brilliant Idea but very confusing February 28, 2008
SamuraiMatt (England)
I bought one of these keypads from Comet, now I think it's a bloody brilliant idea but there's a slight issue with it... It's very confusing to use.
Even after three months of using it I still find it irritating sometimes.
Example: I turn on CapsLock to type in bold, I turn off Capslock and carry on Typing just to find that after the first letter came out in normal text but the rest was all in Caps.
An Example of this:
''HELLO FRANKY! hOW ARE YOU?'' Closely followed by me swearing at it and having to redo the sentence.
With a little bit of practice this device would be a gamer's dream but like others have said... just buy a Keyboard and sit it next to you so you can type ingame.
A must have for gamers (with friends) February 5, 2008

If you try to balance chatting with friends on MSN or playing the Xbox like myself, you may want to consider buying one of these must have devices. The piece attaches on like a wireless headset and the keys are easy to press and you can still hold the controller normally and press the keys with your thumbs. Overall simple. (unless you have very large thumbs in which case you may want to buy a USB keyboard and plug it in)The keypad also has a hole which you can put the wired headset in (if you don;t have a wireless one) which also adds to convenience (although i would recommend a wireless headset as the wired heaset makes the controller feel big and frankly... ugly)
Personally I think this piece of equipment is great as long as you have internet connection and can link up to msn or play via xboxlive (makes sending game invitessomuch easier).
