Would like to know if anyone thinks this is worth the $30.00 dollars...

Makes the controller larger
may affect battery life
Can I verbally dominate someone ingame as fas as I can with a normal Keyboard?

[Tekki]

I just bought a $10 usb keyboard......

[Rhinox]

it's Missing the alt and Cntrl key isnt it?

Replaced by the triggers I assume.

[Rhinox]

gonna be pretty awkward trying to reply to tells i guess then

[Tekumel]

CTRL & ALT can be mapped to the triggers (as the XB360 is setup) if you're using a wired controller with your PC. Wireless controllers appear to be SOL from what I've seen so far.

My big issue with it is no tab, and it's TOO small. I'd type slower on that than I would setting the controller down & picking up a USB keyboard if it's text of any significant length.

Like all mini keybroads it's a waste of money. Hurray, paying for something that's worth more and yet has less functionality.

[Valkrish]

I use a cheap 15 dollar usb keyboard and it works

[Charitwo]

same, booksize keyboard w/o a numpad, works great

Fixed.

I'm buying one tomorrow, anyways. I'll do a

/cm p

and then use it for small party chat while exping.

it's annoying for me to stretch the usb keyboard all the way to the couch and type on it while laying down. I've been waiting for an official 360 wireless keyboard, but I guess this is all I'm gonna get ; ;

Ok I bought it about a week ago and here are the problems:

having it attached to your controller locks out any usb attached keyboard
No Ctr button
No Tab button
The green symbol button serves the same function as going to take an official SS so you have to do whatever you want twice to get it to work (including the / button)

I don't mind it's size tho since it's the same as my qwerty keyboard on my cell phone

All in all it's great for MSN messenger on 360, not as great for FFXI... but does allow me to be lazy sometimes and use it while sitting on the other side of the room, where previously I just had to give up typing to do that...

[Xavier]

Theres not really a point since FFXI can be played entirely w/ a keyboard and I'd rather it be a full size keyboard for actual human hands.

[Lynsy]

Looking at the picture, I thought it was a normal sized keyboard and a huge controller...Now that has potential.

No keyboard/controller hybrid was really successful outside this one :

But unfortunately, the cube had only 1 game that really utilized it.

PSO was amazing.

I used this one when I was playing on PS2- it was pretty damn good.
