Purchased a Chatpad for my Xbox 360

Just purchased the Xbox Live, Project Gotham Racing and Chatpad combo.  I mostly purchased it for the Chatpad and the Xbox Live 12 months.

As far as the chatpad goes, I think it’s pretty sweet.  I do like the feedback of the buttons, they are spaced far enough apart so I don’t have problems hitting multiple buttons at the same time.  The backlight is pretty nice along with the messenger button that lights up when somebody sends you a message.  Also the pad does not seem to get in the way of any of the controls and appears to be part of the unit when it’s attached.

One minor gripe I have is that the controller with the chatpad is that the width makes it a bit harder hitting the center buttons of the pad, somebody with smaller hands would definitely have an issue typing I think.

I know that they can’t retroactively make the controller smaller, but maybe they will make a version of the controller with the pad integrated or offer an Xbox compatible Wireless keyboard … that would make some sense with Microsoft pushing Twitter and Facebook on the Xbox.
