Rating: - Awesome
Yes this product is worthwhile. I got it with the XBL/PGR 4 package. Because of the chat pad it'll no longer take 10 mins to typing messages, redemption codes, etc. the buttons are a lil' harder than a typical keyboard and that's a good thing, because you won't have to worry about accidentally pressing a button. also, they light up which is cool. it adds a lil' bit of weight to the controller but i leave mine attached to my controller because it doesn't bother me when i play games.
Rating: - Great for text
I bought this because I hate how slow the xbox dashboard types text. This completely alleviates the lag and frustration when sending someone a message or typing in your name. It's small and light too so you dont really notice it that much on the controller. For the price, why not?
Rating: - Quick and easy!
Everyone should get this device because it makes chatting and texting on the xbox so much easier. The seller was great, listed as I bought it.
Rating: - Very useful, but not game-breaking.
The messaging pad's a huge upgrade from manually selecting letters from a console. It's also great because when you snap it into your controller it doesn't alter the way you hold it or really take up any amount of space.
The down-side is that if you're used to blazing through text on a keyboard, you're not going to be able to touch-type. So if you plan on playing with the lights off you're probably going to be a little frustrated when you send messages.
When you get used to it your accuracy can go up (especially if you use a phone with a qwerty keyboard) but for the rest of us it can make it kind of clunky and situational. Still an overall upgrade, but not as awesome as I thought it'd be.
Rating: - Excellent
This was shipped as soon as they got my payment and it got to my house a few days later. Awesome I'd buy from these guys again!
