360 wireless keyboard

wannabedamned · 25 Nov 2007 at 14:55

I'm looking to get a wireless keyboad for the 360, I'm very un sociable at the moment, mainly because it takes me so long to reply via controller. So I was just wondering what people are using out there? And what seems to work best?

I'm not sure that any wireless keyboards will work with the 360?

Have you seen the official Messenger Kit? This clips onto your pad and is a bargain at £20!

The messenger kit is a quality bit of er kit. I've got mine perma-attached to my main controller and it is great to use for messaging peeps.

Another vote for the messenger kit. Looks so cool in the dark.

Yep, I'll vouch for the quality of the messenger pad.

I'd like to say that the messenger kit is annoying. I don't have one. That's why it's annoying. People send me long messages with punctuation and I have to reply using an on-screen keypad. I choose not to reply. ARGH!!!

interested also in the messenger pad as its hard to type a sorry msg to your m8 after having just battered them off the track

does it make the controller much heavier? and can it be plugged in on the fly :confused:

You could use http://www.xbox.com if you didn't know?

You can pick it up from a reputable e-tailer for 17.99. Ive read its extremely useful when chatting via msn. But ive also heard it gets in the way a bit.

Thanks

Not too good for people with big bungling fingers like me

Just found a site that sells them for £17.42 inc. Are these things region locked? or are they compatible with all consoles?
I would reccomend one of these to the OP, great bit of kit.

Are these things like a cinder block attached to your controller?

yeah they connect the same way to your controller as your headset. through the bottom, it just clips in.

I bought one as soon as they were released and i have to say its a god send. It clips on the bottom of your controller and no it doesnt make it feel like a brick ie weight wise. Although you cant wrap your hands around the controller like you do before you clip it on. But it doesnt really add to the weight, quite light actually.
