Re: Xbox 360 Chatpad
personally I don't have a 360 because..well they seem to break alot! Other than that I've heard the chatpad works badly for FFXI and you're better off buying a USB Keyboard. The cheapst one I've found is about $10 off Newegg and it works really good on my PS2 and PS3.

Re: Xbox 360 Chatpad
You could try getting a USB extension cable, or a wireless USB Keyboard, but the Xbox Controller pad is bad... i only use it in emergency's, like if i'm to lazy to pick up my USB keyboard, or some one has "Liberated" it ¬_¬

Re: Xbox 360 Chatpad
Problem with the chat pad is that it's for chat, so doesn't have some of the crucial keys, like ctrl, atl, etc... and I can't remember if the consoles have a compact keyboard option to remove the need to press ctrl/alt for reply/heal/etc...

Re: Xbox 360 Chatpad
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the "/" key. That could be a problem in this game...

it does its just a lil hard to explain...the chat pad has 3 layouts...1your normal letter...2green letters(which is initiated when you press the green button) which are usually ? < > : " ! @ ? 3 and an orange layout which are usually the opposites of the green layout...


the only problem when trying to type /tell is that when you hit the green button it goes into SS mode so y ou have to hit the green button and the / pretty fast in order to do anything like /tell /linkshell /shout /say...

It took me a while to figure it out but I eventually did...even before my son did so that was kinda an acheivement for me (25G! LOL). I like the chat pad for times when I'm not going to actually do a lot of chatting or just popping on for a minute. Most of the time I use a wireless keyboard cause a long conversation on the chat pad (especially while partying) gives me even more grey hair! LOL

Re: Xbox 360 Chatpad
The 360 chatpad is woefully inadequate for FFXI. It's too hard to type necessary puctuation like / and ", and no matter how fast you are at it, a keyboard is faster and less stressful. I don't know anyone who uses it as their text option of choice under FFXI, and the few people I know who tried quickly picked up USB keyboards.
