Messenger Keypad?

[Alan_Carr]

Well, as the New Dashboard update arrives, it means i'll be able to access Windows Live Messenger on the 360.
Im planning on getting the Keypad, as it really is a pain to type without one, so yeah
It costs about £24.99 , im wondering if you have any thoughts etc?
Thanks guys <3:eusa_clap

Messenger has been on the Dashboard for some time, it's just that the new update allows kids of 13+ to use it.

I think it would be a useful bit of kit, but in someways pointless as it's just as easy to type with the controller.

[Alan_Carr]

Yeah, i know about it being there for a long time, its just that i wasn't "18", as it asked for..
But its for xmas, so can i personally, really lose?
Its a WIN AND NO LOSE situation :D

You can use a regular keyboard and plug it into the USB in your xbox (Messaging friends etc on the dashboard)

It makes things easier. I just type on the keyboard, lol :P

So if you have a cheap keyboard you no longer need or w/e don't throw it use it for the 360.

Yeh, but it would be too big?
The messenger keypad fits on fine, and is small and tidy :)

How is it...? You plug it into the USB port on your console, not your controller.

And then just leave it ontop of the desk or something, when you need to message someone pop the keyboard on your lap :)

[Alan_Carr]

The messenger kit looks nice and small though, like i said above, i cba to have a keyboard on my desk ;D

[paws]

Only if it's plug and play, some wireless keyboards need to install drivers
