Xbox 360 gets keyboard controller
New attachment snaps onto system's standard pad for quick and easy instant message typing.
While Microsoft's Xbox 360 Spring Update will integrate Windows Live Messenger into the system's dashboard for cross-platform chatting, the machine's text-window interface for standard control pads makes lengthy conversations a chore.
To ease the task of typing in messages without the aid of a full-sized keyboard, Microsoft today announced a new text input device for the Xbox 360 controller. The attachment snaps onto the bottom of the controller through the headset jack and features a QWERTY-style key layout with 47 keys.
The keyboard attachment has not been priced or even named yet, but it is expected to see release this summer.
