    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.

    There IS a Wired driver that was developed by a user in an HTPC forum, it was a contest and the winner obtained almost $500, and donated it to charity.

    What I'm waiting for is a wireless driver, but microsoft doesn't care about the users of their products enough to even respond correctly.

    Any and all hope we have of seeing one will most likely lay in the hands of that forum.

    And where can i find this driver?
