Xpadder works great for the wireless 360 controller as a mouse and 16 buttons to add keyboard/mouse style mapping but does not take the I/0 info from the chatpad. So basically the chatpad is still useless for any PC aspect. Just bought and returned mine today after searching several hours all I came up with is a contest that still hasn't produced a working wireless option and lots of complaining which has been going on since at least 2008, good luck to all who have been working towards a solution. Crazy how it seems that a simple input/output interpretation must be so complicated that not even third party developers came up with a solution, my guess is a security issue is stopping them.

I also want drivers for this product and am very frustrated with MS for not rising to the task.

Can I ask the folks here...how effective would something like Xpadder be for this? Would it allow all keykoard functions to be assigned to the chatpad?

I am also waiting for the day when people actually read the full post and take in all of what it says. Using only part of my post doesn't really make your point. Now, go back, reread my original post again, and comprehend it this time.

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?
