My partner has been looking to buy this forever. So I finally gave in and bought it for him on the weekend.

It can be rather annoying having to disconnect and reconnect the kit each time ...  Read the complete review

The Microsoft chat pad and headset kit is a communication kit for the Microsoft Xbox 360 games console. Now that you can use MSN messenger with your Xbox 360, this makes an awful lot of sense. Entering messages with the keyboard that is on the screen takes a lot of time. The keyboard is white and silver grey so it does look nice when it is connected to your Xbox controller. The headset is also of the same colour so it looks good to. This device is really simple to use. The chat pad connects into the bottom of your Xbox 360 wired or wireless controller. You will then be able to inputs messages much faster and with more accuracy. It has all the ...  Read the complete review
