Microsoft’s Xbox One Controller Chatpad

 

Microsoft has just launched their Xbox One chatpad addon for their Xbox One controller for Wondows 10 and Xbox One, allowing gamers two extra bindable buttons on their controller and a full keyboard. 

This allows games using the Xbox One controller to more easily type and use chat functionality on controller driven games, improving the gaming experience. This keyboard is backlight and has full controls for use with a headset, leaving control of your gaming experience right at your fingertips. 

 

          Compose messages to friends, enter codes, and search apps in seconds with the Xbox Chatpad. Get to your apps quickly with two programmable keys. The Chatpad plugs into your Xbox One wireless controller, putting a backlit keypad and headset audio controls right at your fingertips. It also includes a Chat Headset with 3.5mm jack, so you can plug directly into the Chatpad. Use the Chatpad with both Xbox One and Windows 10.*

The Xbox One controller only supports Microsofts Windows 10 OS and will not function on Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, so please only purchase this controller if you can make use of it on your current OS.
