actually for those of use who play wow or other games that require many keys from the key pad it does make it more sense since i wouldnt have to sacrifice keys for being able to sit away from my desk and i can just hit numbers on the chatpad for spells and abilities. So as you can see my logic makes sense. Yours not so much....
Very True! I Hope You Don't Mind,But I Would Love To Send This To Xbox And Microsoft.
Is It Fine With You If I E-mail It To Xbox And Microsoft?
How Do You Send That Data To The Controller? Command Prompt?
Also Why Are All XBox 360 Accessories Compatible With Windows PC's Exept The Chatpad?
There Is A Contest Going On For A Driver Here.The Winner Gets The 'Purse'.So Far The Purse Is At $595.
could us or modify "WdfColinstaller01005.dll" and port signals to establish proper chatpad strokes...so far i can kinda get the wired chatpad working....
but the wireless does not even turn on...?
I really think M.S. should take one month to make the 360 controller usable as a mouse /controller. The keyboard attachment that lights up so you can see the keys at nights is even more reason it should have been released compatible with windows . I have a samsung 61" dlp led 3D rear projection tv . I use it as my computer monitor because the 3D media has to come through the nvidia graphics card and blue ray player in computer. I also have a tv tuner card in it so i watch tv in a window while im on line. Its just a pain in the ___ to use my mouse and keyboard if I'm kicked back on the couch in low light trying to make the mouse work on my leg and trying to balance the keyboard. Google tv uses something like a 360 controller. I've read you have handicap settings to use windows 7 enviorment with joystick inputes, anyway to convert the code to work on 360 controllers?
