    Sup Mattetch,

    I have the chatpad also and I don't recall it ever saying that the chatpad itself would work with Windows.  You must remember that the chatpad is a 360 add-on device.  Now don't you think that it's a little redundant to develope a driver for a mini keyboard plugged into a controller that's connected to a computer that is already suppose to have a fullsize keyboard?  I can see an advantage in having a driver that would allow you to map the extra buttons that the keypad gives you.  It would also be up to the developers of games to decide if they would want the chatpad's keys to be used in their game.  This is a device with a lot of potential for Windows PC based gaming, but that's about it until developers decide to use it. Also what do you expect from a device that doesn't come with any software media in the box.  Just be happy that it works very well with the Xbox 360 as it was designed to do.

    I hold to a simple philosophy: just assume everyone's a piece of ____ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find anyone who ain't.

    It seems that I have to say this again.  I choose to quote myself instead.

    I hold to a simple philosophy: just assume everyone's a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find anyone who isn't.

    You didnt have to say it again, you clearly dont get what people are asking and why, so you were ignored.

    I still cannot believe Microsoft has gone completely silent on this, it's ridiculously frustrating!

    I've literally stopped using my xbox because of how much this issue irks me, and looking at my chatpad makes me depressed every time.

    I'd love for ANY kind of response, but every single time they just re-direct you to the other sites...

    Such horrible customer service.

     If another company made a similar product for the pc I would likely buy it, but in the meantime

    I'll just leave this here

    But if you have the cabled USB Wired controller, a few drivers are out there.

    But we all know we want wireless.
