 ... explanation takes forever using just the controller. However, with this chatpad, you can type very quickly and comfortably. Whilst it does add some weight and bulk to the controller when you are playing, you adapt to this very quickly and it is not a problem at all. My main gripe with this product is that when i am talking to a friend through my headset and i am using the chatpad at the same time, if my controller vibrates, the person i am talking to hears a buzzing noise through my headset which is very annoying for them.

Crowned ReviewXbox 360 Messenger Kit: Chatpad and Headset: Waste of plastic, and your money (505 words)

@ About @ This messenger kit comes only in white and one thing to note: It will drain your battery faster than just using a regular headset on its own. The keypad lights up every time you hit one of the keys, and just leaving it to sit in the controller will also drain the battery since the controller is having to keep the keypad live ready to use. There is no on or off switch it will just run. To plug the headset in you will need the one they give you and if it goes wrong or you loose it, you will never be able to plug in another headset without buying another messenger kit. Microsoft have cleverly done this by removing the two prong connectors at ...  Read the complete review

Essential Bit of Kit for Chatty Gamers. (621 words)

I've had my Xbox for nearly 3 years now, back in the day not many of my friends had the console, and I didn't have Xbox Live to begin with, I just had a couple of games I'd sit and play on my own. As more and more of my friends got Xbox consoles, and I finally got onto Xbox Live I found myself sending loads of messages to my friends, and fellow players online. It would take a fair while to do so using the on screen keyboard and I'd find myself losing concentration in games as it would take so long for me to message people back when they replied. So when I was shopping in Morrisons one day after work I noticed this cracking bit of kit in the games and DVD's aisle, I ...  Read the complete review

Xbox 360 Messenger Kit: Chatpad and Headset: Great idea but a bit flimsy (822 words)

The Xbox 360 Messenger kit is a godsend for those people who want more chat in their gaming experience, in essence it's a keyboard and headset which you attach to the Xbox and play your games. I bought one as my nieces are now old enough to play games and I wanted to ensure I had time with them, doing something fun together and allowing us to chat and catch up whilst still playing games. It seemed a fun (if not slightly impractical ideas), but much better than simply skyping. I have to admit I did also buy it to use with Fifa 11 to badmouth friends during matches and wind them up, so it wasn't solely for good purposes!!!! Being honest, I use ...  Read the complete review

For all you messenger/xbox live users out there your prayers have been answered! A nice little compact device that connects easily to your controller to save you from the stress of having to type letter to leter to letter slowly selecting them using the joysticks on the controller without! This pack comes with two items, firstly a 'chat' headset and also of course the chat pad! For those of you who are keen xbox live users, you will no doubt have realised quickly that people are nattering to each other constantly during your game session and it makes the experience so much more thrilling to be involved in whats being said so the headset is a great ...  Read the complete review

Xbox 360 Messenger Kit: Chatpad and Headset: Great Keypad for the Xbox (394 words)

My partner has been looking to buy this forever. So I finally gave in and bought it for him on the weekend. I bought it in Game for £24.99 but they also had it on offer, if you buy anything in Game you get the Messenger Kit for £19.99. Included in the pack is the small keyboard and a wired headset. The keyboard clips onto the bottom of your Xbox 360 controller. Once plugged into the controller the keys on it light up! (Funnily enough this was the part that made him happiest!) The good thing about this product is no batteries or charging required as it get's it's power from the controller. It also has a Windows messenger button. It lets you sign ...  Read the complete review
