Fun:
Recently I received my xbox back from repair and my friends urged me to get Halo 3 and get back on Live so I followed their orders and realised my headset had gone missing. Seeing this little gadget I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and utilise the windows messenger feature with this keyboard and Halo 3 chat with the headset.
So I read reviews and a lot of people said it was good. So I bought one and they were right on the mark with this piece of kit in my opinion. It fits snugly on to your 360 controller and has a little microphone port designed for the headset that comes with the 360. Whilst yes it does not have your standard headset jack you do get a headset to plug in that fits with the keyboard so unless you've got some amazing headset that has the 360 controller connector you haven't got much of an excuse to be upset over this little niggle.
I am a fluent touch typist and at first I had to go back to using my eyes for the keyboard rather than the screen but after two days of using this gadget I'm finding it increasingly easy to touch type. It's a lot like texting in a way but broader due to the bigger keyboard.
A lot of people have said "Just buy a usb keyboard" but that involves wires and unecessary clutter. You'd have your keyboard, headset and controller all floating around and causing annoyance in my opinion. This keyboard fits in nicely and is fully wireless if you don't plug in the head set. The response is quite sharp and on the whole a good response time. The keys light up when pressed which makes it very easy to see them and the Green and Orange buttons show let you access the symbols you would need (even have certain language symbols used by certain languages)
Also when you receive messages on Messenger the little Messenger buddy icon lights up and you can push that to pull up a little dialogue box. Good for switching in and out to keep up with your buddy chats.
Great piece of equipment and very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Microsoft must be reading my mind. I have been moaning EVERY time I need to title a saved game image or type a message to a fellow gamer. I did use a USB keyboard for a bit, but it's too awkward and takes too much space.
This messenger kit keyboard is a work of art. I just held it in my hand for the first half hour marveling at the design. Once it's fitted to the 360 controller it's even better. It fits so well that you would believe it's always been there.
It is so easy to use, does not get in the way and it always there when you need it. No more excuses for leaving the default ambiguous names for files.
I would buy another, but that would be just silly :)

If you try to balance chatting with friends on MSN or playing the Xbox like myself, you may want to consider buying one of these must have devices. The piece attaches on like a wireless headset and the keys are easy to press and you can still hold the controller normally and press the keys with your thumbs. Overall simple. (unless you have very large thumbs in which case you may want to buy a USB keyboard and plug it in)The keypad also has a hole which you can put the wired headset in (if you don;t have a wireless one) which also adds to convenience (although i would recommend a wireless headset as the wired heaset makes the controller feel big and frankly... ugly)
Personally I think this piece of equipment is great as long as you have internet connection and can link up to msn or play via xboxlive (makes sending game invitessomuch easier).
