    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.

    To **** with MS. I just bought a Lenovo N5902 kb/m combo device. Works great. Maybe if enough people vote with their wallets MS will finally get the ****ing message.

    I know, right? Even I thought my Chatpad would work on my computer. In fact, before I came here to get some help (which, much to my -- and our -- dismay, Microsoft has yet to give any actual help), I tried mapping some keys in Halo: Combat Evolved to my Chatpad, but to no avail.

    Microsoft really does need to get a grip and put out a Chatpad driver for Windows. None of this "Only works with Xbox 360" balderdash. We've heard that tired old spiel. We want change, and we want change now.
